Hey people, during my school years, we always had to ask the teacher to go to the bathroom. Like "May I use the bathroom?", if they said no we were left to our devices which I think is inhumane.( Was a victim myself) What do you guys think especially the teachers about this system considering how difficult it is to manage classroom discipline?

When I was in school you had to raise your hand during free time to ask. If you raised your hand while the teacher was talking they would ignore you. There was maybe like a 50/50 chance the teacher lets you go to the bathroom and kids that were noisy generally were told no more than yes. Quite a few instances of kids wetting themselves and the class was merciless to them after. Had a whole list of kids who wet themselves.
