Every school handles hall passes in a different way. Some will go the standard route with a laminated card or a lanyard. Some schools mandate a teacher’s signature in an official school agenda book, while others make the student wear a neon orange or yellow vest with the room number. Some schools allow teachers to choose an object to give to students as a hall pass and some teachers take this opportunity to embarrass their students and have some fun.
Here is a list of real hall passes teachers have used:
An actual toilet seat (just in case you need an extra)
A mannequin leg
A rotting plantain
A giant cinderblock (though it was confiscated by admin. because it could be used as a weapon)
A sign on a lanyard that says, “I have explosive diarrhea.” (How badly do you have to go, kid?)
A rubber rat on a leash (because it’s a funny image to see a kid walking a rat on a leash through the hallways and teachers are desperate for laughs)
A sign that just says “poop” on it
A screwdriver (This seems like a bad idea to me. See the earlier note about the cinderblock being used as a weapon)
A toaster
An old bowling pin
A giant cardboard cutout of Burt Reynolds’ head, Britney Spears, a bear, Bob Ross, the teacher’s head
