Problem: Teens on overnight trips sneak out of their hotel rooms after their chaperons turn in for the night.
Solution: Trust but verify: Tape their doors from the outside with masking tape.
Tip Report: Tipster Maggie Holobaugh of Takoma Park learned about this one the hard way, as a middle school student on a class trip. "Every night, teachers would tape our hotel room doors from the outside. If we left the room, there was no way we could 'tape ourselves in' again!"
