What are two things you should keep-in-mind when making a joke?

You are supposed to use the bathroom or get water during the breaks.
1. If it is an emergency and you need to go during class, what should you do?
2. If it is an emergency in class, does the teacher have to let you go?
1. You need to ask the teacher for permission. You should not just leave the classroom. (Unless it is a serious emergency, if you are about to throw up or having diarrhea for example - then you can run, but please talk to your teacher kindly after the lesson and explain the situation.)
2. If it is your first time asking, the teacher will let you go. But the teacher might ask you to wait until the explanation is over. -- If you have asked this teacher 2-3 times in previous lessons, the teacher may say no. So be responsible with going to the bathroom and getting water during transition time.
