[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teachers don’t monitor bathrooms typically. That’s some else’s job. [/quote]

This year it is teachers' jobs.[/quote]

I don’t understand how teachers have time for that on top of all of their other duties.

When something needs to get done, just throw it on the teachers. Don’t worry. They’ll get their own work done at home, I guess. [/quote]

Who else do you think should be responsible for monitoring the bathrooms then?

Our MS has placed monitors across all bathrooms and at hallway intersections. Staff assigned those locations take their laptops with them and still get work done (emails at least) and it has definitely cut down on behaviors and cutting classes. I frequently see my APs in the halls at a desk, monitoring students. And my principal is out in the school as well when they have time.

If you want a "safe" school, everyone needs to pitch in to make that happen.[/quote]

This is so degrading to teachers who are paid to teach. Just wait until a students looks over the shoulder at a teacher looking at emails in a hallway and reads something confidential or someone complains the teacher wasn’t looking up when a fight occurred because they were on their laptop.

The real reason why it is an issue is that schools no longer give consequences like lengthy detentions or suspend students so students don’t care if they are caught. They just have to do some hocus pocus restorative justice talk and they are on their way to get in some more trouble. [/quote]
