I had a teacher like you once in high school. Karma came back to bite her in the ass when she had to clean up my vomit.
Me, too! Second grade, didn't feel well, knew I was about to throw up, Teacher had just finished a rant about the proper method of letting her know we had a problem, so I walked up to her desk to ask to go out of the room.
The problem was, when I opened my mouth, the gusher erupted, and flooded her desk with half-digested milk and Wheat Chex.
I don't remember what happened after that, except that it was a LONG time before I ate any Chex cereals again.
I teach 9 and 10 year olds. I don't allow children to go to the toilet/bathroom during class time, only during break and lunch. Would the rule bother you?
ABSOLUTELY!
As a parent of two girls ages 11 & 9, I tell them that if they need to go & the teacher says no, you go anyway! Period. I understand that it disrupts the class, but some children can’t hold it. It’s also bad for a girl to hold it as it could lead to other problems. Not to mention, how devastating would it be if an 8 or 9 year old wet their pants because you wouldn’t let them use the washroom?
I think if a child needs to go and it’s not a consistent problem, you should let them go! If a child seems to be going an excessive amount of times then you need to check with the parents to make sure there’s not an underlying health issue.
Yes! I would be VERY upset about this as a parent and speaking to the principal. People can't always hold it. Holding it also isn't healthy. There are also girls who are menstruating. That needs to be taken care of. You're a teacher not a warden.
Scratch many a teacher and you'll find an autocrat underneath.

A relative of mine has Crohn's disease and he does need bathroom breaks, and should be allowed to have them whenever he wants. If it's in the child's IEP that he can take bathroom breaks, then you have to allow them.
We had the rule when I was in school and it backfired a few times. I think you can have the rule, but say there is an exception in that you have an emergency and can't wait just to go.
wouldn't it make more sense to allow kids to use the restroom if needed but if they abuse the privilige then disallow it for that particular student? Why penalize the majority for whom it isn't an issue?
