Why link to Reddit? Just give credit to the original source and be done.
What is even the point of this?
Without reading the post, to deter vandals and mystery poopers.
Someone’s just gonna pee across the gate into the floor of the bathroom lol
Fill up a dollar store water gun with pee. Blast that stream as far as it’ll go
It’s the first thing that’s gonna happen.
Remember the end of Titanic, when the crew needs to keep the poor folks away from the life rafts?
That didn’t really happen tho.
The problem with 3rd class passenger not getting to the lifeboats was that the boat deck was accessible to I class, II class and ships crew. The III class folks were completely unfamiliar with that part of the ship (and parts leading to boat deck - the whole superstructure). At first some officers were mentioned to have enforced class segregation between areas but that was also a time when people went back to their cabins because “this ship is unsinkable, nothing bad will happen”. When it became clear the ship is doomed the III class did reach the boat deck but already most life boats were launched.
This is almost certainly because of the social media trend to destroy public bathrooms. Not “teehee I pulled out a lot of toilet paper” but “I body slammed the air dryer until it broke off.”
That’s when you familiarize yourself with the locations of the teachers’ lounges / bathrooms. When the need strikes you march in like you own the place and declare that they can either let you piss in the toilet or you’re going on their crappy industrial couch with its 1970s cigarette burns.
My social-anxiety-causing-diarrhea -ass would hate this so much
i swear, schools will do everything they can to stop you from taking a piss when you need
Oh I’m sure the students will find another use for that drinking fountain.
Welcome to prison. Enjoy your stay.
I’d just piss on the gate or something, make them rethink that decision
Let me guess: Freedom Country?
What’s it do? Test your DNA to make sure you only use the “correct” bathroom?
Gotta train them kids to become familiar with prison environments. There’s a whole industry waiting for them.
A lot of people suggesting to pee in the gate lol,
This started happening in my high school a few years ago, Everyone seems to think that they did it to make it easier to catch people doing weed by closing half of the bathrooms at any given time. It’s super annoying because the bathroom closest to my classes are always the ones to be locked for some reason so I have to walk across the entire school (the school is really big) to get to an open bathroom and when I do get there it’s usually so dirty and crowded that it’s almost unusable.
If thats the case I think someone needs to call the fire marshal. No way I’d feel safe in a building which could lock me in like that.
not escaping to a bathroom and not escaping the building are two different things entirely
Most bathrooms in schools have no windows. Mistakes happen people get locked in!
oh right. But normal doors of rooms / lecture halls get locked too, if unused, at certain schools/universities
Most lecture halls don’t usually lock you in though. This gate appears to require a key both directions.
… Why? How is this a better choice than a door?
Extremely charitable guess: they want it to be open to prevent the spread of germs slightly (so nobody has to touch a door), but need the option of closing it after school hours to prevent vandalism.
being an adult now, it’s so weird seeing how schools were so overly punitive. why not treat kids decently like in college early on? even in kingergarten i’d understand ‘you can use the bathroom now if you want but either way you have to learn the alphabet’
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.
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.
