[quote=Anonymous]If someone is looking at the data, it’s actually super helpful. My admin runs reports on kids out of class over x minutes a week multiple weeks in a row and works with them to figure out what’s going on. When there was vandalism in a bathroom discovered to have happened between 1:20 and 1:40, they were able to pull passes from that time period and narrow the list of suspects. We use it for late passes too—if I hold a kid a few minutes late bc they’re finishing a test, I’ll send them to their next class on an electronic pass. That means kids can’t forge paper passes anymore.

I once had a girl ask to use the bathroom every single day at 10:35, claiming that was the time her “coffee kicked in and she just really needed to pee”. The electronic system helped to discover that her boyfriend was also doing the same so they could rendezvous during 3rd period.

If kids did what they’re supposed to do, we wouldn’t need it…but they don’t. This helps us find those who need more structure.
