[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait. If they do not have enough staff for bathroom monitors, then how are they enforcing one child at a time in the bathroom?[/quote]

The teachers enforce it which means that it only falls on the kids who are good kids and listen to the teachers.

Can you imagine if your employer told you that you couldn’t go to the bathroom because of the possibility that some other people might vandalize the bathroom?  You’d be calling the state regulations.  It’s ridiculous.  The school district has to bear the cost of vandalism — not individual children.

Even with the safety thing, the odds of my kids being caught in a bathroom fight are infinitesimal.  The odds of them being uncomfortable and unable to focus on their work because they couldn’t use the bathroom are extremely high.  [/quote]

When a bathroom is vandalized it has to be closed. So then no one gets to use it. I guess the school decided that it’s better to have limited access than to have no access. Kind of makes sense. [/quote]
The bathroom can be used until the day is over with one sink broken, one stall missing a door, spitballs on the ceiling, a toilet jammed with TP, or whatever else. Just like if you go to Target and see one stall or sink “out of order”. If the entire room is unusable, close it and direct kids to another.

This isn’t a solution, it’s punitive. [/quote]

Yes, but the bathroom can’t be used if there is water pouring out of the toilet, or in is vandalized in other ways.  [/quote]Are you deliberately being obtuse?

The toilets and sinks have individual water shut offs. Shut off, mop up, lock stall door and put up a sign. Done.

And if the entire bathroom is vandalized in some other way which renders it unusable, like I said, you lock THAT INDIVIDUAL BATHROOM, and put a sign on the door indicating which bathroom is nearest. Done.

The solution to one bathroom being broken isn’t to say there are now NO bathrooms, boy or girl. That’s punitive and quite honestly, ridiculous. [/quote]
