This Blows

I’ve told you a few things about my hallway, but here’s another aspect. The boys’ bathroom shares a wall with my classroom. Yes, it can be annoying. At times it’s like teaching near an airport when those high powered toilets get flushed and hand dryers are going off. But you begin to appreciate them, especially when it’s one of your kids you’ve allowed to go. That way you can keep track of their toilet/hand dryer use ratio.

It should be 1 to 1, in case you don’t know what I’m talking about.

My kids know about the ratio. More than once a student has returned to class to a “Dude, if you have to double flush, then how do you not wash your hands?!”
