[quote=Anonymous]I agree with this forum’s synopsis - and conclusion - that this comes down to just one issue: people. The people inside the school who are actually causing the problem. Jeff wrote: “ some high school bathrooms are routinely vandalized so that they are frequently inoperable and others are used by students for vaping, fighting, and robbing other students. Schools have responded by closing many, if not most, bathrooms. This results in very long lines for the few remaining open bathrooms and students often don't have time to wait in line between classes or even at lunch. Moreover, some schools or teachers limit the number of bathroom passes they will give out, creating a situation in which students may be unable to go to the bathroom for the entire school day. Some posters say that this has led to medical issues with their kids. Much of the discussion focuses on what can be done about the situation. Some posters suggest contacting members of the school board or going to board meetings and testifying. Others suggest filing a lawsuit. There are suggestions for increasing security or supervision of the bathrooms so that they can be opened. Multiple posters issued pleas for any journalists that are reading to write about this issue. But, another poster pointed out that the Washington Post has reported on this issue in the past and nothing changed. Most of the issues seem to come down to student behavior. Since students know that bathrooms are almost the only “ Students are not behaving correctly. Yet again, the solution here is obvious: prevail upon the decency and humanity of the young gentleman and ladies engaging in this incorrect behavior to conform their behavior and no longer destroy bathroom fixtures, stop robbing their fellow students of their possessions, and not engage in rape or drug use in school lavatories. Why hasn’t anyone asked them? [/quote]
