Hall Pass - Tumblr Posts
To give a different perspective: students in grade schools are given periodic breaks throughout the day where they can utilize the restrooms. Jr. High and High schoolers have classes which last 1 or 2 hours with a few minutes in between. Elementary schools have lunch, usually two recesses, and their teachers are often more lenient.
As a school teacher I am often faced with students who wish to get out of their work (as evidenced by the student who purposefully chose to throw up instead of taking time to learn) and I don't always know the difference between a student who does have a legitimate need and one who does not. A hall pass for a class can help alleviate this as students can figure out if they have a legitimate need during that class period or not.
I have also had students who have needed extra breaks or trips to the restroom. The guardians of these students have always let me know what to expect and I make sure to make the correct accommodations (usually also required by law).
It seems odd that a student who is feeling sick might not be allowed to go to the nurse's office, but again, I have had students who say they are sick at least weekly or every single day. Most of the time they just need some extra attention.
Also, the note above to be sent home seems really extreme. It could, however, be written for a very specific student and it is very possible that the information about this hall pass policy is found in the disclosure document sent home at the beginning of the year.
Not to mention the fact that Mrs. White isn’t qualified to teach. She should be required to take a remedial English course. “I have went”? please. It’s “I have gone”, Mrs. White.
