    and ahead in all my classes (besides maths and bio LOL) a few days ago, right after the lock, I asked my English teacher to use the washroom. I managed to make the trip there and back in about 7 minutes.

    After class, my English teacher pulled me aside and explained to me that I "clearly wasn't actually using the washroom" because I took too little time, she explained that I need to

    You could ask your teacher to time how long it takes you and her to walk to the restroom you now have to use. Don't walk slow, but don't speed-walk either. Then discuss how long is reasonable.
