Do you keep your door open or closed? - Page 2

Depends on the school. Some schools the door is always open since the office is in the main office and it's usually pretty quiet and there's not students constantly walking by. If the office is off a hallway, I prefer it closed to cut down on noise levels and to prevent students from seeing me and thinking up an idea to come and see me just to get out of class. One I've been to doesn't even have a door and one automatically shuts because it used to be a locker room/bathroom right off the gym which unless I want to get hit with dodge balls I need to keep shut!

Open since we are required to have our doors in knocked mode for lockdowns. Helps me hear when a patient is coming...I have 3-7 yr olds. You can hear them coming a mile away lol

Interesting -- I'm surprised at all the 'closed'.

I leave my door open as it IS an open invitation to come in -- sorry ChristinP

Open for me since it's in the main office

Mine stays open since it's in the main office & my littlest 4 & 5 year olds need it open in order to find me. If I step out for some reason during the day I just turn off the light & my office staff cover the traffic for me. I close it if I'm having a private conversation or if I'm doing a screening or something though.

Sometimes I wish I left my door closed, but my door is always open. The bathrooms are right beside my office so it comes in handy to help monitor kids that come in from recess for a bathroom break & they are being loud or playing, so I can correct them & also report them to their teacher.

new school, different office layout so my door stays open now

The door to the main office is always open, the student door off the hallway is closed and does so automatically.
