Hey people, during my school years, we always had to ask the teacher to go to the bathroom. Like “May I use the bathroom?”, if they said no we were left to our devices which I think is inhumane.( Was a victim myself) What do you guys think especially the teachers about this system considering how difficult it is to manage classroom discipline?
I don’t know about other countries, but in my own, teachers have their own designated bathrooms. As in there are girl’s bathrooms for girls, boy’s bathrooms for boys, and a third kind of bathroom with a logo not for girls or boys but for teachers (regardless of gender). If I were to use one of these teacher-designated (and yeah it has happened before), I would land myself in more trouble than if I used the boys’ bathroom. This being an age where gender norms are being challenged, being caught red-handed once, I made a remark about “sexually identifying as a teacher” which only caused my punishment to double (I even remember asking if the floor or my skirt would be a better option on a bad bladder day and got a blunt yes). Moral of the story, don’t get between teachers and their bathrooms, no pun intended.
