[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]E hall pass is amazing from a school perspective as we can now limit how many students are in the hallway building wide.  Set the cap at 15 and it locks anyone else from submitting a pass when that number is reached.  I used it in a different school system and it was very successful.

The only downside from a teacher's perspective is that you will have to temporarily stop instruction to approve the pass but that's no different than having to stop to write a hand written pass.[/quote]

Building on this since I can't edit the original post, it was also great because as a highly data driven teacher, it calculates how long each student is out of the classroom so I can collect that data and use it when communicating with parents to justify a student's performance.  "Yes Mrs. Jones I understand you are upset with your child having a D in my class but the data indicates they have spent the equivalent of 3 whole class periods in the hallway and bathroom this marking period."[/quote]

Why can't that same data be captured on a sign in sign out sheet/clipboard in the classroom?[/quote]

And who would analyze that handwritten data, enter it into a system and keep it updated daily?  Are you volunteering?[/quote]

There could be many volunteers if it means students don't have to plan their pee and poop breaks[/quote]

Well, start a PTA committee of volunteers and sign yourself up at your school.  Report back on how that goes![/quote]

I would laugh so hard if a PTA sent out that volunteer op.  Join the modern age and do it digitally.  And get a job if the best thing you can do all day is to do data entry of kids' bathroom breaks.[/quote]

Several people (who work or don't is irrelevant) sign up to help teachers tally up results that are collected from classroom clipboard.[/quote]
