Remember back in grade school when you needed teacher approval to do anything or go anywhere outside of the classroom? And any freedom was contingent upon receiving the holy grail—a hall pass.
Typically, it came in the form of a piece of paper or a laminated card, but a lot has changed since those days. In fact, teachers in 2019 are outrageously creative with their hall passes and these are a few of the best ones we’ve seen so far.
