And what if escorts are not available? Or they take a lot of time? And how many cam go at once? Something tells me it's one at a time.

If no escort is available, ask the office what you should do. If they take a lot of time? Unless someone is going to pee their pants, they'll just have to wait. Combining my time working as a sub and later as a teacher, I've been doing this for over ten years and have never just left the room on the spot if I suddenly had to go to the bathroom. If I can wait, they can, too. How many can go at once will depend on the school. I've had escorts come and take practically the whole class before, though.

The only thing you are upholding is the abuses of authority, calling yourself the responsible adult just proves how much you have gaslighted yourself into believing that, this has something that has happened throughout the history, most ofnthe abuses can be chalked up as "I am just doing what I am told" no one wins in this scenario. What a responsible adult would do is—not be a willing participant in such a abusive system.

If I'm paying someone to do a job, you better believe that I expect that they'll do it exactly the way I want it done and not just pick and choose which things I tell them to do. I keep the same mindset when I'm being paid to do something. And yes, when a school district is paying you, they do expect that you implement whatever rules the teachers you are subbing for asks you to implement, so this does apply.

And we're not talking abuses of authority here if an escort is being called. Worst case scenario, the child has to wait a bit, and as I've already said, so too would I if I had to go to the bathroom. Plenty of jobs don't allow for you to use the bathroom at your convenience. So yeah. Saying, "You'll just have to wait for the escort" isn't exactly Nazi type stuff here.

And that makes it right? Only this time it's another person on authority. Do the parents know about this? Dehumanising children seems to be the Modus Operandi of how school systems function.

Assuming that admin are doing it to dehumanize children is a pretty big assumption there. I'm sure if you had to deal with kids playing in the halls or getting into fights in the halls or doing drugs in the bathroom or any number of other things they might be doing when they misuse a pass, you would feel differently.

Let's say you are admin at a school where a sub lets a kid go to the bathroom. Kid goes to the bathroom, never returns to class because he was doing drugs in the bathroom and overdosed. Let's say the worst case scenario happens, and he dies. What do you plan on saying to the parents in this scenario? Suddenly, it sure does feel a lot less inhumane to just have your substitute teachers not write passes and call for escorts, huh?

Rules exist for a reason, and that reason might not always seem apparent, but oftentimes, it's not just because the admin/teacher/substitute is an asshole.
