Well I can tell you have never had to manage 9th -12th graders who use the restroom visit to roam around the halls peeking into other classrooms creating a disturbance and disrupting the learning of other students.

BTW.Humiliating a student who has to use the restroom. I bet you’re remembered fondly Actually I was voted Best Teacher 7 times over my career, students liked me, knew I was a no nonsense teacher, and respected me.
They all thought the seat was funny.

9-12 graders it is a different story.

This is 3rd graders. I don’t ever recall not being allowed to go but I can picture myself just shrugging my shoulders and walk towards a corner of the room while ‘unzipping’...

That would get their attention... Also like the one poster suggested just say OK and go up to the teacher and take care of business.
