[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Teacher here. The things that go on in bathrooms at schools are disturbing. All bathrooms should be singular. That way, gender does not matter but it is also safe and private.[/quote]

Another teacher, and I totally agree.

Especially MS and HS bathrooms.

Pre-pandemic, smoking, vaping, and hooking up got so bad at my HS that every restroom had all but 1 stall locked. Then by the end of the year, restrooms were locked except during class changes and lunch when there were teacher & admin monitors.

Sounds like the Administrator who posted previously may be out of touch with what is really going on at their school.[/quote]

???  I don't think you read that post very well.

In any event, in our current pandemic secondary school, our bathrooms are closed during class changes and lunch.  The only times bathrooms are open is when there is an adult standing outside the doorway monitoring behavior and allowing only 2 students at a time to be in the room.  Vaping and other disturbing behaviors are the primary reasons.

I agree with the parent who pointed out that mixed use multiple-stall bathrooms could cause a problem.  She mentioned a 6th grade girl and an 8th grade boy both being in the bathroom at the same time.  That seems open to all sorts of unintended consequences.  I, for sure, would not want to use the bathroom when an 8th grade boy was in there, and I am a grown woman.  Not that I would be scared but that it just seems wildly inappropriate.  I think nothing of using the bathroom when I (a female) use the girls bathroom and there are girls in there.[/quote]
