[quote=Anonymous]NP here, MS teacher.

I have actually gotten in trouble from my AP for letting too many students go to the bathroom during the same class period (She observed this when in my classroom once).

Unfortunately, for every kid that actually needs to go, there are others that are trying to get out of class, trying to meet up with friends to goof off in the bathroom, etc. Schools are very short-staffed and don't have people to police the halls and bathrooms during class time. We are told to encourage students to go at the beginning of the school day, again at lunch, and then before leaving school for the day.

I do have a policy of not letting students go during the first few minutes of a class. This is so that they hear all the instructions for the day. If there is an emergency, of course, I always let students go. There are some students with medical conditions that require more bathroom visits, and I pull them aside and tell them to just go any time they need to to avoid embarrassment.

I would never ask a student why they need to go. I cannot understand why the sub would ask this--sounds like they were being sarcastic.[/quote]
