The bathroom pass. It's a simple plastic pocket that holds a card that reads, "Bathroom Pass. Saralyn's Class.", written in purple marker and hanging from a lanyard. It's part traffic control and part freedom, depending on who's carrying it. And it gets a lot of use.
One of my students handed me the coveted pass and pointed out that the lanyard had ripped through the top of the plastic and was no longer attached. Worried that she would be to blame, she blurted out something about a group of passing kindergartners who scuffled with her in the hall. Surely they were to blame. I told her not to worry about it, that I could just punch another hole through the plastic and reattach the lanyard once we were done with class.
Her response? "Or I could just bite a hole through it."
