Yeah I got kicked out of class once in high school (affecting my attendance) because I couldn't hold it until the end of the class, the teacher said no, and my choice was between disobeying or whipping my dick out and peeing on the floor. I of course chose disobeying, but I'm pretty sure that the teacher would be far less strict in the future if I went the other route.

The latter could have gotten you in some serious trouble. Better and more effective to just go in your pants.

  Yeah, because students won't turn that into your permanent nickname mr. peepeepants.

    They will, but you won't have to register as a sex offender. Major difference in life outcomes.

      What crack are you smoking? You simply get up and walk to the restroom like any normal person would. Teachers can largely be ignored, if they physically do anything to you it's lawsuit time.

        No you can sue them in pretty much all cases if they put their hands on your kid.

        I think you are dreaming. Have you done that? Sue the powerful (a school board) from a position of powerlessness (black working class in the ghetto)? Probably not, unfair question. Do you really think it is a realistic prospect? Really?

        There are toll-free hotlines for reporting teachers engaging in child abuse. Obstructing a child from using the bathroom who needs to is a form of abuse. If that teacher then physically restrains or otherwise contacts/touches the child to prevent them, especially if it culminates in their wetting/soiling themselves, this starts resembling something along the lines of sexual abuse. If there's one thing the USA can be relied on it's both society and the law leaning heavily in the direction of protecting the children, to a fault. This situation is literally just a phone call away from completely ruining the teacher's career if not life.

        Have you any data for how well that works for poor black children? I hear people with theories, but child services the world over are famous for nice theories and systematic abuse. Especially for minority and poor children

  So could the former because where I'm from there's a certain amount of times you can not be in a class (without a doctor's note that justifies it) before you face expulsion. IIRC that number is around 20 classes per school year, so that alone brought me to 1/20th of an expulsion. And being the teen that I was, it's not like I had an otherwise perfect attendance in any of my high school years.

"I didn't get into college because I had to use the bathroom during class a lot" - no one, ever Just turn on your voice recorder and go.

  I don't know about how things usually are because my kids aren't in HS yet, but I do know that their school district, during distance learning, has a blanket policy that parents are not allowed to record the teaching sessions. So I wouldn't be too surprised if voice recorders aren't allowed in many schools as well.

    Sometimes, breaking the rules is the only way to obtain real evidence. ;)

    It sounds like that policy needs to be broken as thoroughly and consistently as possible, provided that you are in a one-party consent state. I can't imagine any good reason for that policy other than covering for terrible people.

        I'm no lawyer, but if I had to bet, I would assume that the wiretapping laws that would no doubt zealously be applied to such a recording event (if it ruffled the right feathers) wouldn't have an exception for that, as they were written before even speakerphones came into wide use.
