Because students take advantage (i mean we all did im one way or another). The younger the kids, the more parents (and the law) treat the school as responsible for the student and their supervision. That being said, in my opinion access to a bathroom is a basic human right.

Agreed. It’s stunts like this that lead me, a former high school teacher and college prof, to support school vouchers. Create some competition for these minimum security prisons that the state tells us we have no choice about sending our kids to

What kind of stuff did your classmates get up to? I'm from Europe and we don't have hall passes or gates at doors (etc.) and the students don't get up to bad stuff. The worst I've seen is wet toilet paper on the walls. Or is this some kind of an "If you're treated like a prisoner, you will act like a prisoner" kind of thing?

I have students that try to get out of my class by spending 30 minutes in the bathroom several times a day.
