It's a lazy solution though, if there's a kid who seems distracted in class/keeps asking to go out (and doesn't have a medical reason in place) then you might start to suspect they're not actually going to the toilet and that can be investigated/followed up for that specific person. 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.
