Can students go to the bathroom during class?
Institute a policy that students cannot ask to go to the restroom until you are at your desk or at a minimum not addressing the entire class. This is fine but remember that if a student has a medical issue of which you have been informed then they should be allowed to leave when it is necessary.
Can a school force you to keep your camera on?
Legally, no, they cannot force you to show your face. However, the rules within a school or classroom don’t need to be legally enforced.
Is it illegal for your teacher to take your phone?
Generally, they can’t. Teachers have every right to seize your phone, but they have NO right to go through its contents unless you give them permission. It is illegal for a teacher to go through the private contents of your cellphone without your consent, and it is illegal for them to force you to do it yourself.
Why do teachers say no to the bathroom?
They think that students have time to go the rest of the day, they fool around when they go to the “bathroom,”, and that class time is important. The thing is, the use of the bathroom shouldn’t be taken away just because some kids fool around during that time. The bathroom is not a priveledge.
What to do if your teacher won’t let you go to the bathroom?
If it is an emergency, tell your teacher it is an emergency and you can’t wait to use the restroom.
- If your teacher says “yes,” thank them and exit the room. After using the bathroom, return to the room quietly.
- If your teacher says “no” or “in a minute,” ask again in a little while.
Can the teacher turn on your camera on zoom?
No; Zoom is designed to not permit that. You can explicitly give the host of a meeting permission to remote control your pan-tilt-zoom camera (as described here ), but even that does not allow them to turn a camera on if you have it turned off.
