[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]

Sure, parents are mad in the other thread that teachers get told about students’ medical conditions in order to keep them safe, but we are ok with parents monitoring classroom data? Ok.[/quote]
