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.

I would have thought most 'normal' teachers would employ that tactic, of course you always get the sticklers but again kids get to know those teachers pretty well and dont to into class desperate to go, and then you have alot of classes taken by Agency teachers so they dont know the kids at all and have a blanket rule
