SAN DIEGO, Calif. - While students are taking a test, one high school math teacher decided to do a little online shopping.

However, the item he was looking to purchase has him out of the classroom.

According to WPIX,  a teacher in San Diego didn't realize his computer was hooked up to the projector while his class took a test.

The teacher was searching for lingerie, so students immediately pulled out their cell phones and started recording.

After the video surfaced, the teacher was placed on administrative leave.

The principal for Mira Mesa High issued a statement saying:

"The teacher is currently on administrative leave while the incident is thoroughly looked into. Because this is a personnel issue, neither the school nor district can comment on specifics. It is important to let the investigation process run its course without speculation."
