Finally, all those years of making team flags for Eagle Lake has paid off. Craig asked me tonight if I could come up with some clever, semi-permanent hall passes for him to use this year because he got tired of writing them over and over again last year. He also wanted something that would hopefully deter students from wanting to use them too often.
Tonight I selected wool and flax. I worked with eager hands. I came up with this:
One down, three to go. Is it wrong that I had a little too much fun making this tonight?

Many woman do noble things but you far exceed them all!!
That flag is so great.
Teach me your creative ways, oh my Yoda.

That would certainly have done it for me – no more hall passes. Ever.
Great job!

That would totally make me hold it till the next class.

What I would have given to have those when I taught middle school! Hilarious!

Very clever, Megan! Just know, however, that for some, this will be a badge of honor! Trust me.

This is hysterical. I’m going to have to share this with some teachers I know. I bet they’ll want one.
Good job. 🙂

I’d say the deterrent value on that will be pretty high!

That’s great, Megan! It reminds me of my 7th grade history teacher who had a toilet seat for his bathroom pass.

Awesome, that is too cool for schoool.
I remember in highschool there was a “no sagging” rule to deter the boys from wearing pants that were to large and thus expose their underwear. I bought a pair of pants that summer when the boy fit levis first started being marketed for junior girls and wore them all the time. One of my furious classmates that saw an incredible injustice in allowing girls peirced ears and hat wearing, but disallowing it for the guys, cried out in class for me to be sent to the office for the proverbial suspenders of justice to keep my pants up. I gladly walked down to the office, returned with a lovely set of plaid suspenders and continued with the principals permission to wear them for the rest of the week….I really liked suspenders- it wasn’t punishment for me.

Oh my word, you just guaranteed a 50 percent reduction in the number of kids asking Craig if they could use the restroom. So wonderfully brilliant.

That is the best hall pass, ever.
You should market those to teachers and schools. I bet bathroom visits would drop at an astonishing rate.

Oh, how funny! They will have to prop them in the corner of the bathroom when they get there! Do you think they’ll “forget” to bring it back with them?
LOLOL!

Two things: Firstly, the passes are adorable. Secondly, as a former teacher who tried to make it uncomfortable for students to use the restroom, and as a former seventh-grade student who gladly carried a horse femur to the lav and back, I’d have to disagree with all those who think that they will deter anyone from asking to use the restroom. They will, however, spare poor Craig from having to write passes. Thankfully, his school allows this sort of thing. Our school had such security restrictions that we all had to write passes fresh every time on officially sanctioned hall pass paper. (We had to make the copies ourselves, of course – and heaven forfend we ran out.) So much for the cute styrofoam hall passes I had made over the summer!
