"Mom: I bring bottles of water and juice on my own dime to make sure the students are at maximum productivity.",
"Dad: What if someone needs to use the restroom for 30 minutes?",
"Mom: It doesn't bug me, but the school has some strict bathroom policies. I've gotten in trouble in the past.",
"Dad: Oh, You never told me about this. What happened honey?",
"Mom: I didn't want to bother you with the details. But I guess there's no harm in letting you know.",
"Mom: For a while I allowed all my students to use the bathroom whenever they wanted. They didn't even have to ask. I wanted the students to feel independent.",
"Mom: But then the administration told me that all students were required to have a bathroom pass. Too many students were skipping class they feared.",
"Mom: I made sure students signed themselves out, wrote their name, signed it, then took the bathroom pass.",
"Girlfriend: That seems very efficient. But are the third graders mature enough to get themselves to the bathroom and not goof off?",
"Mom: Well, every student has their 20 minutes. I don't want to parent them. That's not my job. My job is to teach lessons.",
"Mom: It seemed to work well. None of my students abused the system.",
"Mom: But it seemed the administration didn't appreciate the system. They changed the rules once again.",
"Mom: Now students are only allowed to go to the bathroom once per day. No more than 5 minutes or else I have to go looking for them.",
"Mom: I told all my students. 'Make sure you use the restroom at recess and before school'. And they did.",
"Brother: Your students seem very well behaved. I can't even imagine a class of third graders acting as well-mannered as you describe.",
"Mom: You would be surprised what putting a little trust in a person can do.",
"Mom: Well, the newest method was working dandy. I wouldn't say it was as good as what we had setup before, but it was fine.",
