Finding My Bearings

Black market economy?

Each teacher has been issued with a named 'permission to leave the classroom during the lesson pass' on a bright lanyard. There's not a big truancy problem at my school but I think teachers have been letting too many go to the loo or fill their water bottles up during lessons, when they should be doing this sort of thing in between lessons. The new system's working out really well but I did laugh when I discovered after one lesson that my lanyard had been returned minus the pass... and I wasn't the only teacher who joked about whether there was now a bit of a 'black market' thing going on with them. Luckily, not the case with my students, as I found the pass on the ground outside my classroom later.
