Hi Priya,

It’s unfortunate that it happened but don’t lose sleep over this. There may be a few whispers about this incident but they won’t last long. Gossip about a teacher that sticks involves some kind of wrongdoing on the teacher’s part, but you’ve done nothing wrong. For example, if you showed up at a school basketball game after having too much to drink and fell over courtside, that’s gossip that would stick. If you were having an extramarital affair with another teacher, that also would stick. The incident that happened to you today won’t stick. By week’s end or before, it’s old news.

Everyone urinates. Everyone poops. Boring.
