I'm sure as a teacher though it must be frustrating having your lessons disrupted by people needing a bathroom break - knowing full well that a lot of people do just use it to get out of lessons for a break...

If a child is caught deliberately using it as an excuse to skive off and cause trouble then they deserve to have the book thrown at them.
In the school I went to, if you wanted to go to the toilet you would go, a teacher would not dream of stopping you. If a grown adult is being arrogant enough to try denying a child to go to the toilet then they deserve some back chat. There is simply no genuine reason to deny a human being to answer a call of nature.
What if the child had a bladder problem they didnt want the teacher to know about and the child ended up wetting themselves?
If I had a child I would tell them if you want to go to the toilet, no matter where you are then you state you need the toilet and then go.
