Being a power hungry male animal, I make all decisions when it involves the
library. I, and I only, make the decision who comes, who stays, and who leaves...
Much simpler that way - as the study hall teacher wouldn't know if I had several
classes in the library or I was at a meeting and not even in the library (one man
library here - and no way to lock it as we are also a hall way).
Makes it all very clean. I have done this in 3 schools so far - with no complaints,
no hassles. This also teaches the student to plan ahead - no last minute "I have to
go to the library" situations. Saying that, there are always of course those
emergencies that pop up - but they are rare.

Subject: Re: [LM_NET] SEC: Signing Out From Study Hall
I'm curious where you draw the line between who decides which students
may sign-out of study halls to the library.
I feel it is the study hall teacher's responsibility to determine
how/which students sign out. Some choose seniority, others
first-come-first-serve. I monitor students once they are here and will
send students back or prohibited them from returning if the case
presents itself.
I have had teachers complain of the limit I have set (5 per study hall
with an average of 3 study halls per period) stating students are
running to their class to sign out or the same students are always
signing out.
I feel this is more of an issue with how they are handling the signing
out of their students? Am I wrong or alone on this to say they handle
the signing-out in their study hall and I handle student behavior once
they're here?
