It can be pretty terrifying when our teachers call for us to answer questions in class, especially if we’re not sure of the answer.
Our experiences, however, will likely pale in comparison to what this Nanyang Polytechnic (NYP) student recently went through.
Apparently, she googled for the answer to her teacher’s question but forgot she was sharing her screen.

A TikTok clip showing the embarrassing encounter has garnered more than 335,000 views at the time of writing.
On Thursday (24 Feb), TikTok user @eyedurh or Aida shared a clip documenting the embarrassing moment.
Aida was apparently called out by her teacher to answer a question while the class was going through a Semestral Exam Paper.
When asked for the formula for energy, she panicked and hastily opened a new tab to google the answer.
Unbeknownst to her, her frantic act was displayed online to the entire class as she was sharing her screen at the time.
While Aida’s classmates in the Zoom meeting may have snickered behind their screens, the teacher was seemingly baffled by the situation.
In the video, the teacher could be heard letting out an audible “wow” while scratching her head.
Sensing that Aida had some difficulties answering, the teacher proceeded to ask other students to answer the question.
Many felt 2nd-hand embarrassment for the NYP student, even saying they felt paiseh after witnessing the scene.
Another teased Aida, asking her once again for the correct answer to the question.
One commenter, however, looked on the bright side, joking that she will always remember the formula thanks to the incident.
Given how paiseh it already is when we’re unable to answer our teachers’ questions, we can only imagine how embarrassing the NYP student must’ve felt.
Nonetheless, kudos to her for sharing the hilarious episode and giving other users a good laugh.
Hopefully, she remembers the equation from now on and will be able to answer the question without any hiccups when called upon next time.
