desperate teachers

[Aquarius]

Being a teacher myself, I've experienced once, in my first year of teaching, that it is not wise to drink both coffee and water beofre having to survey a 2-hour exam. In case you're wondering : I made it through that occasion dry ... But I did have to dash to the toilets afterwards. 15 more minutes and I don't know what might have happened.
Throughout the years, this happened to some of my collegues as well. One of them even sent a student over to the teacher's lounge once during an exam he was surveying, with the message that someone had to come and replace him for a few minutes. Turns out he had to pee and just couldn't hold it until the end of the exam. Also he made it , luckily for him not all staff is busy all the time during the exam period so there's always a few collegues in the teacher's lounge doing some correcting and grading. So no true accidents ever happened at my schools.
But I do wonder if any of you have ever witnessed desperation, or even wetting, with their teachers? Or heard of it from someone? I'd really like to know!

The most interesting thing I've ever heard on this subject was posted on our old site by our very long-standing contributor and superb writer Lee. It involved a teacher supervising an outing of students. A lot of us here will remember that account very well. I have it on backup somewhere, but Lee, maybe you'd like to recount it again here yourself??

Desperate teachers form a very interesting subject, certainly. But with my mod hat on, I would just like to remind everyone before this thread goes any further that the attention must be solely on the teachers... unless the students are clearly adults, that is. Technically we don't allow school settings here, for reasons I'm sure I don't need to repeat, but I'm hoping that if we tread carefully we can avoid any problems.

I am a teacher too and I used to be desperate once in class. Too much water, and yet I made it dry.

But let's talk about my colleague, as Aquarius did. One of my colleagues holds his pee very well. He doesn't look desperate at all, but whenever he said he needed to pee, he really meat it. Whenever he peed, he peed a great deal. I used to work with him, and when we finished our task, I just told him casually, "Oh the toilet's there. Let's use it." I needed to pee quite a bit, so I headed to the urinal. He opted a stall. Then, what I heard is a powerful firehose, rumbling for almost two minutes. He didn't say he needed to pee. He didn't show any sign. Yet, whenever he pees, it's almost always a large golden rumbling stream.

Having worked in schools, I know that having a strong bladder is a necessity. A number of times I was asked to cover a class while the teacher zipped off for the toilet. To complicate the problem, most schools do not allow teachers (especially male teachers) to use the student facilities and have just one rest room for staff. I've seen this rule broken a number of times.

I too trained and qualified as a teacher but then lasted just 3 months in the profession in my first job (so have huge respect and admiration for all teachers who, unlike me, do survive what is an extremely hard, stressful occupation).

I was always very careful not to get caught short at work, but during my teaching practice as a student teacher the other male teacher assigned to the same school as me did seem to find himself needing a pee very often. Back at the university, during classes for student teachers, I remember him sometimes unable to sit still and then having to leave the room during the lecture. At the school where we were assigned, I remember an occasion where he had to break off a conversation with me in the staff room to run for the toilet too. I never dared to ask him if this was a problem when he was teaching. I did hear, just a couple of years later, that - like me - he wasn't a teacher any more. Sometimes I wonder if his overactive bladder contributed to him leaving teaching.

I remember a wonderful little incident from one of my own teachers. He was in his early forties back then.
He was our physical education teacher, and once every two weeks we would go to the local pool for swimming class. One time, I remember him being nervous and fidgety on the bus ride towards the pool, which already made me suspect something was up. When we came to the pool, he jumped out of the bus and waited by the door until all of us were out as well, and as I descended and walked past him, I noticed he quickly grabbed his crotch and pinched.
Dressing into swimsuits was with all of us in one big room, and the teacher had to wait next to this room until all of us were done. To change, I had chosen a position from which I could see him through the open door, and as he was waiting for us, not aware that he was being watched, he was constantly shifting from foot to foot, crossing his legs; basically doing a pee pee dance.
Once we were in the pool, he quickly had to take of his training suit, under which he already wore his swimsuit.
When he came into the pool area, he immediately jumped into the water with us, were he had to show us some swimming techniques. But since I was watching him, I had seen, before he jumped into the pool, that he had a wet spot on his swimsuit.
I have never known what exactly happened : did he not shake off properly when he took his much needed pee in the toilets that were between the dressing area and the swimming area, or did he leak before he got to the toilets? Since he was obviously desperate, it could have been the latter option.
But of course, I couldn't really ask )
Have never forgotten it though!

In my junior high school, most of the staff was female, and although there was a toilet in the teachers' room, I figured out that the ladies had claimed it for their exclusive use. Teachers generally were not to use the student facilities, but on several occasions I saw male teachers using the boys' room at times when students would be in their classrooms, suggesting to me that their one time to pee was during their planning (free) period. Some teachers had their planning time either first or last period, so I would guess a male teacher so scheduled would just have to hold it for most of the day. Five or six hours is doable, as long as you start off empty.
