Fire alarms, soap dispensers, paper napkins, bathroom mirrors, sanitizers are disappearing from the bathrooms of American schools these days. Even teachers' desks have been stolen from some schools. Teachers and schools are not able to stop thefts despite lakhs of efforts. No one knows who is taking these things and where. But they can be seen in the video being shared on Tik Tok.
This craze has started with Tik-Tok videos, this fresh craze is being called 'Bathroom Challenge'. These videos are being shared with #deviouslicks. Last September 1, a Tik-Tok user shared the video, in which he kept a box of disposable masks stolen from a school in his bag. This video has been viewed 2.39 lakh times. A few days later, a video of the hand sanitizer stolen from the school was shared with the same hashtag.
More than 94 thousand videos have come on the platform in a month. This hashtag has incited the students to commit big thefts. In some schools, students have even taken away things like bathroom tiles, handrails, and partitions. In 10 schools in Florida's Posco County, the legs of chairs were broken and thrown into the bathroom. Operators, who take the risk of opening schools after facing difficulties after the epidemic, are very upset with this new challenge.
Because already they have problems like learning loss, increasing cases of the corona. Sociologists believe that students were locked in their homes due to the pandemic. There was no thrill left in his life. To get this thrill, they have now come down to such antics. Amanda Brannon of digital artist agency XX says that children troubled by prolonged school closures and virtual learning are probably venting their anger in this form. But this anger is costing the schools dearly.
From California to Georgia, schools have ordered the strict suspension of students, filing crimes and even collecting compensation. At the same time, some schools have started locking bathrooms during class. Schools in San Antonio are collecting fines from students and their families for this loss. District spokesman Aubrey Chancellor says that our aim is not to collect money, but it is necessary to make the students realize the mistake.
