Background: I (36m) am a HS teacher and we are in school on a hybrid model. Half the kids are in the building on a given day.
Earlier this year the tech team installed a microphone/speaker system in every classroom to help masked teachers communicate more effectively. They warned us multiple times about muting ourselves when we leave the room or have a private conversation. But it only takes one mistake to have a royal fuck up.
So, during a morning class today I pop over to the bathroom (which is literally next to my classroom) to relieve myself. I peed and washed my hands. Pretty straightforward.
But when I set foot back in that classroom I realized what I had just done. The ten 15 year olds in the room where looking at me in wild disbelief. I looked down at the mic hanging around my neck and said “oh, I forgot to mute, didn’t I?”.
The remainder of class was the most awkward 45 minutes of my life. The kids mostly laughed it off but there was still the weirdness hanging in the room. Thank god for the weekend.
TLDR: I went to the bathroom with my teaching microphone unmuted and my students heard me taking a piss.
