What should I do if I really have to use the bathroom but I am in the middle of teaching?

Do you let your students interrupt your teaching to use the bathroom?

If you gotta go...then you gotta go. It's not like we pee with the stall doors open, so there's nothing to see. Using the opposite gender's bathroom is better than pissing your pants.

Get up from my desk and go visit other co-workers.  Sometimes I'll go to the bathroom and just kind of hang out in the stall with my eyes closed for a few minutes.

That's not possible unless you are medically ill.  It's not healthy either.\n\nJust keep your liquids to a minimum to avoid excessive trips but you will still make 'standard' trips to the restroom.\n\nPerhaps next time (since you don't like public restrooms) try taking a plane - it's quicker

I have gone 12 hours+ before going to the bathroom.

do the classes, that's a job\n\nfind a different place, maybe your landlords insurance wont allow this and they didn't know when they first said it was ok.  You should mention what you want to do before you rent the new place, or try to buy a place.

Guess what, oh "high social class" child... you are NOT of a high enough social class to use faculty restrooms. Those restrooms are for people who have risen to a high degree of education, have a professional licensure, and actually are 100% responsible for their own lives. If you care to point out that other staff also uses the faculty restrooms (educational assistants, custodians, etc.), then note that these people also have earned the right through their hard work and training. You will also notice that they generally yield right-of-way to the faculty.\n\nIf you have an issue with other students trashing the student bathrooms (not a function of income, you silly goose, but lack of sense of "ownership"), call the custodian EVERY time you go in and find a mess. Pretty soon, the custodian will get fed up with having to clean it all the time, bug administrators, and something will be done.\n\nIn my school, when kids were trashing the bathrooms, we developed a "sign out" process during class time, to know what kids were in the bathrooms and when. Before and after school, during class changes, etc., a faculty member stands duty outside each set of bathrooms. We have no more problems.

I'm sorry you are having a tough time.  You probably are not teaching very much since both you and the other children are being so distracted.  Just tell yourself that this is affecting everyone, and it is okay to just STOP teaching if you have to, in order to deal with this situation.  You might even have to go back to the beginning and re-establish your role, the rules and consequences.  Pretend it's the first day of school again.  \nHere are some general ideas that have helped me:  \n\n1.  Find out what they want and take it away:  \n\nDo they thrive on attention from you?  Don't give them any.  When you have to discipline, be as calm and discreet as possible.  \n\nDo they thrive on attention from each other?  Separate them.  See if your director or another teacher can take a child when he is particularly unruly.  Then AS SOON as you see a negative behavior--remove them from the classroom.  \n\nDo they want control?  Give them choices that YOU can live with.  For example, if they use a bad word, say, "Do you want to say that again using nicer words, or do you want to sit by yourself?  (If they won't sit by themselves, unsupervised, don't give them that choice.  Maybe they could go sit with another teacher instead.)  \n\n2.  Make sure they understand what will happen if they misbehave.  Give them predictable consequences.  For example, when they make a mess, don't let them do anything until it is cleaned up.  You might have to go to extremes to let them know that you are serious.  If it is outside time, have your director or someone else sit with them in the classroom while they clean up instead of going outside.  If it is time to go home, leave the mess and make them clean it up the next day, first thing.    \n   \n3.  Just remember that you cannot control what these children do.  Only they can control their behaviors.  Your job is to set it up so that they WANT to behave nicely.  Make life miserable for them if they are bad, and glorious if they behave.  \n\n4.  Be as predictable and as consistant as possible.  Once you know they understand the consequences, don't let them get away with anything!  The phrase, "If you do that again..." should never leave your mouth.  Get them on their first offense.  \n\n5.  Hang in there!  It may seem like an overwhelming challenge right now, but it will get better little by little.  Take it one day at a time--even one situation at a time!  Remember they have to re-learn what to expect in your classroom.  Focus on the most distracting or dangerous behaviors first (like hitting or running away from you).  Take time to think about what your consequence will be and then just wait for it to happen.  They'll learn.  \n\nGOOD LUCK!

You need to tell your parents and your teacher. Hopefully the principal will get involved as well. There is no need for you to put up with this one moment more. Don't be shy to do something about it.

Depending on how you are getting around, you will probably use a bedside commode (aka. potty chair) or a bedpan.  YOu might not feel like going all of the way to the toilet the first few days.  But , they shouldn't make you use a diaper for that, that wouldn't be right and I would complain if they did.

Ask your teaching assistant about that

Call a friend or relative that lives nearby. You can probably borrow their shower for a bit. Or, if it comes down to it, go buy some water bottles (the gallons) and give yourself a sponge bath.
