Some school design experts in the U.K. are proposing "unisex" bathrooms as the way to curb bullying, according to the National Education Association.

The folks at NEA wrote in this month's neatoday magazine ... 

"A commission charged with making newly constructed middle and high schools more safe and efficient is recommending blurred glass walls in his-and-her loos. They think unisex toilets will discourage students from lingering. Students had told the commission that they avoided the bathrooms, sometimes not going all day, for fear of being harassed. 'There are always people in there smoking, and they are bullies,' one 13-year-old told BBC News. 'I don't want my head dunked down the toilet.' "
