Class bunking is nothing new. Many students often do this. The reason may be that they have to go somewhere, have a party at home or something else, but due to a strange reason in America, students started bunking classes. Used to go to the bathroom again and again. At first the teachers thought that perhaps there might be some stomach problem, but when many students started skipping class seven or eight times a day, the teachers tried to find out the reason. They were surprised to see what they saw next.
The matter is of a middle school in North Carolina. According to the Daily Mail report, students repeatedly bunked classes and did not return for hours. When this was seen for several days, we investigated. It was revealed that students were bunking class to make TikTok videos in the bathroom. After this all the mirrors of the bathroom were removed. The effect was that now students never bunk classes. Everyone is present in the classes on time.
There was a huge decline in the number of students
Les Atkins, the school’s public relations officer, said since removing the mirrors, we have seen a significant reduction in the number of students going to the bathroom just to make videos. Not many people go to the bathroom, nor do they stay for that long. The school has also given smart passes to all the students so that their gadgets can be checked when they check in. This system is part of the school’s existing software, so no one has any objection to it.
Getting support from parents too
The school administration said, we are also getting support from parents. The mother of a 12-year-old boy wrote, we never give a smart phone to our child. Why is it needed after all? Another commented, A child needs a phone only during an emergency at school. Usually such a situation does not arise. That’s why the phone call should not be given. Why do middle school children need a phone?
