How Did Bathroom Passes Become a $35K Surveillance System?

Remember when going to the bathroom was just...going to the bathroom? Those days are gone in American schools, where unsupervised urination has apparently become a national security concern requiring $35,000 digital tracking systems.

Join Creator and host Doug "Slappy" and his underground teacher network featuring three co-hosts: "Sneaky Pete" (NJ), "Birddog" (TN), and "Valhalla" (MI).

Names have been changed to protect the innocent... and keep everyone employed, because apparently telling the truth about education can be hazardous to your paycheck.

All four are veteran U.S. History teachers with decades of combined classroom, hallway, and coaching experience. This underground network originally met while working as exam readers for a large educational non-profit organization.

In this eye-opening episode, we dive into the bizarre world of high-tech bathroom surveillance that's transforming teachers into "bladder schedule coordinators" instead of educators. From students trapped in digital limbo to accidents caused by software delays, we unpack the real human cost of these absurd systems.

What you'll discover:

• How digital bathroom passes track students like secret agents
• Why schools spend more on surveillance than arts programs and counseling
• Real stories of students trapped in digital limbo and software-caused accidents
• What these policies reveal about education's misplaced priorities
• Practical solutions from veteran educators who've seen it all

As one teacher notes, "We're spending more time managing bathroom passes than actual lesson planning most days." Our panel offers real solutions, from treating bathroom passes like fire drills to the revolutionary idea of actually trusting students.

Perfect for educators, parents, and anyone who believes it's time to "free the P" and reclaim education from the surveillance state.
