Smoking in the Boy’s Room! Austin, TX School Ditches Bathroom Doors and Privacy Concerns

Smoking in the Boy’s Room!  Austin, TX School Ditches Bathroom Doors and Privacy Concerns

High school today is a radically differently experience today than when I graduated in 1988.  It seems incredible in today’s bubble-wrapped world of keeping our kids “safe” that my school had a dedicated smoking area for students!  My husband has stories of drinking beer on the roof of his high school with one of his teachers.  And neither of those experiences seem great from today’s vantage point.  But when I read that a local Austin school removed doors to their bathrooms as a deterrent to problematic behavior, all kinds of alarms went off.  Smoking in the boy’s room is no longer the status quo, so what IS going on these rooms that justifies dismantling bathroom doors and privacy rights?
