Sorry for the hijack. But Hall monitors and hall passes must be a US thing. I never had them at all.
In elementary school we just asked permission and the teachers would let us go. Our classes weren't devided into periods anyway. We had the same teacher for all subjects.
Then in highschool most teachers just said if you need to use the bathroom just go, because it was less disruptive then everyone stopping the class to ask permission.
I also never had study hall. When I had my spare periods I was either downstairs in the basement (the only palces you could hang out during your spares were the basement or music wing) or I left the school.

All these things seem a little ridiculous to me. Although I have to agree that there are a lot of students who use their "bathroom breaks" to hang out in the halls and such.
