in-class bathroom that you can hear through from the regular classroom…? wtf?

is this a regular occurrence in burgerland?

The Classroom bathroom introduced in most american public schools was modeled after the prisoncell bathroom due to the lack of privacy and low cost.

Wait, this is actually a thing?

I've only seen them in elementary school classes where students tend to stay in the same class most of the day. But in middle and highschools there is usually a more traditional multi stall bathroom shared with multiple classrooms.

Not in any school I've been to.

In the school district i work in, elementary schools have bathrooms in the kindergarten rooms, never seen one in a high school though

No, only in elementary schools.

What they're getting confused about is that a lot of architecture firms that design prisons also design high schools because - shockingly - both of those institutions are designed around moving large numbers of people to different areas throughout the day.

My high school was designed by one of those firms and it wasn't weird. You could see it in the little details, though. There were exactly two places in any of the hallways where you couldn't see a clock, so nobody could say they ran late because they didn't know what time it was. The architects just decided where they would place cameras in a prison and swapped them out for digital clocks.
