The kids in the San Jose school district ruined the Bathroom Pass!
https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3950/1...337967da_b.jpg

They scraped off the paint to turn it into "DAT ASS".
https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5604/1...10c427bb_b.jpg

I won't even snap a picture of what they wrote on the backside.

As you may recall, I was helping a San Jose high school teacher who
needed a large bathroom pass so that she could insure (a) that only
one student left the room at a time, and (b) it was clear to everyone
what they were doing at all times, and (c) it was clear from a glance
from anywhere in the classroom that a student was out with the pass,
and (d) the pass didn't get easily lost or misplaced by the students.

I had never routed anything, so, I chose to use spray-paint stencils.

The stencil kit I bought was too large, so, I then printed the fonts:
https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3880/1...bea8454c_h.jpg

I had then cut the letters out and reinforced them with clear tape:
https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3851/1...f5c8ff45_b.jpg

Then I spray painted the letters onto a spare yard-long pine board:
https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3906/1...4fecefff_b.jpg

It wasn't pretty, but, it seemed (at first) to do the job for her:
https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3922/1...f0088a92_c.jpg

But, one by one, the kids scraped off the letters to spell DAT ASS:
And, they carved and wrote gang graffiti on the back of the board.
https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5604/1...10c427bb_b.jpg

So, I sanded off the carvings, and then spray painted the whole thing
black (to discourage graffiti), and put the original printed template
back on the board:
https://c2.staticflickr.com/6/5588/1...f5c19552_b.jpg

I then routed (is that a verb?), by hand, the letters, 3/8" deep:
https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3941/1...f9454d6f_c.jpg

I was actually very surprised I could route along the stencil fonts:
https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3940/1...4d660280_b.jpg

The result isn't all that pretty, but here is what it looked like:
https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3942/1...53c68513_b.jpg

After sanding and cleaning it up a bit, it looked like this:
https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3951/1...191d3c19_b.jpg

The letters, with only one pass of the router, were pretty rough:

Have the teacher example dat ass every time it comes
back, and if there are any letters missing, apply
the board of education to the seat of wisdom.

It's funny, but, apparently the teacher didn't want to tell me
that the spray-painted letters didn't last a week at the school.

She thought I would be upset.

I took it as a challenge, to see if I could keep a bunch of
high-school hoodlums at bay. You can't defeat them, but, you can
make it hard for them.

So, with the letters now deeply routered (is that a verb?), and
the knife marks in the back sanded out, and the back painted black
so that the gang graffiti is covered, I think I just made it
a bit harder for them to vandalize it.
https://c4.staticflickr.com/4/3950/1...337967da_b.jpg

Of course, the teacher told me they unscrewed her desk and hid it
two classes down the hall, so, they're formidable opponents.

But, they are kids, after all, and so, I hope that by the end of the
year, I'll have a system (titanium perhaps?) that they can't deface!

Ideally, the kids are supposed to be learning obedience
to law, and some other things like that. If they are
defacing the potty pass, maybe they can hold it till
class is over? Are these illegal non citizens who started
their visit to our country by violating the border laws?

I'm not encouraged when our border agencies permit such
incredible disrespect for law.

Among the various things I saw used for this purpose while I was going
through school,
I vaguely recollect a toilet seat being one of them. Like a pink
wrench, no one will steal it.

One teacher in this San Jose school district,uses a toilet plunger,
for the same effect.

Oddly enough, I agree with the Storming guy this time. A
school is supposed to teach children so they become responsible
adults. It's not an assault class where the medal goes to the one
that breaks the most "laws".
New pass. Anyone altering it in even the tiniest way gets
punished. No exceptions.

Sigh. Your reputation is forever destroyed,
having agreed with a religious whack job
right winger dinger. You'd better vote twice
in the election, to begin to repair the
damage.

I'd take a different approach... As a complete unmolested lettered board it
is a bathroom pass. If altered it is not a bathroom pass and subjects the
student carrying it to the same penalties as any other "no pass" or "altered
pass" infraction. This would require the cooperation of the teachers and
administration who monitor student movement in the hallways... It may
require a few repair jobs in the beginning but I suspect that it would not
take long for the kids to figure this out. Maybe have two or three board
passes initially so there is always a good one available for the kids who
really need to go, or who have to deal with their monthly issues.

It gets their attention. That should be all that's needed.

You can spank children and not beat them. If you had ever had children
you would know that sometime a pop on the bottom is the only way to get
their attention. Discipline must be consistently applied, and ALL
people in a position to give discipline, must work to basically the same
standard. ie per Theodore_Roosevelt "Speak softly and carry a big stick"

Though children quickly understand that grandpa has slightly different
standards of performance than dad. The same applies in all situations
the child is place. They are intelligent creature, understand the
environment, and what is permissibly in that environment. Otherwise,
you would not get the Alien Abduction Syndrome when you let your kids go
with someone else. (Alien Abduction Syndrome: The child who has been a
terror all afternoon, but later when when a friend's mom returns him,
she tells what a perfect child you have)

The problem comes about when you have a parent that thinks the the
teacher, the police, and every one else in the world are out to get
them. So they think that whenever anything happens to THEIR child,
someone is discriminating against or picking on THEIR child.

I was wondering why all the teachers commented that my kids
were wonderful to know in class.

I had wondered if they had mine mixed up with someone elses'.
Now I know what happened.

The aliens did it!

The kids would police the kids.
