Observing
WC Millers main floor boys’ bathroom during the fourth period proved what I
thought to be true wrong.
It turns out the bathroom gets used for
exactly what it’s supposed to be used for. Most trips by the young gentleman
were only about 3 minutes long, and from my observations, it seems like they
all made their way back to their classes.
Both days of observations proved
that there are regular goers of the fourth period time slot, and that there is always
the odd newcomer, but most guys got in and got out in record times.
The
only stragglers that got caught up and had a ten minute bathroom break were
currently on a spare class.
It
seems that teachers shouldn't have any worry when their students politely ask
for a quick trip to the lavatories. Instead, they should let the boys go with
freedom.
The
only major bathroom detour is the odd time when the lady janitor goes in for a
quick clean and the young men must choose to head upstairs or downstairs.
I had
always thought that the bathroom was a quick way to skip out on class for a bit
and do nothing, I have now learned otherwise.
