It's not a good reasoning for having a "blanket rule" of not allowing anyone out when they ask. If a kid who rarely asks to go to the toilet asks to go, they probably need to go and should be allowed no questions asked. If the same kid is going for the 5th time in 2 hours / every day then that's the time to ask questions and take some action.

…yeah totally this, there can’t be a blanket rule that could be devastating for a student(s)….it is sometimes a ‘thing’ even at primary school level that a student may be known to try this distraction/avoidance/time using technique, shall we call it…but in the grand scheme of students on roll it would be a very tiny minority …?…and there are also ‘techniques’ that the school staff can use to try to deter that with that student as well, rather than place a ban or any restriction on them that is being suggested in the article…
