[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just have stupid rfid bracelets or cards to swipe in bathrooms, duh.  Data can be used to tell if students are hanging in there too long, which probably implies drug use.[/quote]

You obviously haven’t worked in a high school. One kid would swipe to open the door and then let in 5 other people. Some kids won’t wear a bracelet or carry a card on them. You can’t kick a kid in a stall out if a bathroom, it doesn’t matter how long they take. And if students don’t want to leave a bathroom you can no longer make them as long as they are just standing there. There aren’t really many consequences any more and students know this. So threats that something will happen to them are just laughed off. [/quote]

No, obviously you'd have a turnstile system to get in and out. Just like how NYC subways only allow one person though at a time at turnstiles that run from floor to ceiling.

Not hard.

You don't have to kick them out of anything. You track their data use for bathrooms, times in and out, and track who they're constantly meeting with in bathrooms. You analyze their data for suspicious activity.  Staying in the bathroom for a long time once per week isn't going to raise red flags. It's something like staying the bathrooms for 10+ minutes between every class every single day above and beyond the typical standard deviation of use that will raise red flags.

Any suspected drug buying and selling, you then escalate to search for lockers. You restrict their access to bathrooms, or you at least can start building up a stronger case for searching for contraband on the person. [/quote]

Turnstiles, personal data trackers, and database analysis for bathrooms in public high schools. Orwellian.[/quote]

Oh give me a break.  Drug use, sexual assaults, violence, even weapons.....that's more like Battle Royale than 'school'. Students lost their rights after they started behaving like wild feral animals.

Show me in the constitution where a student has a right to use public school bathrooms without having their use tracked. [/quote]

When we were in school we had to have some kind of hall pass and staff were in the hall monitoring and asking to see it.[/quote]
