I really dislike this school rule, and I might come off as a complainer here.
I’m not sure if your school has this, but the 15-minute rule is really frustrating. For those who aren’t familiar, it’s the policy that prohibits bathroom visits in the first and last 15 minutes of class. Going to the bathroom is a basic human need! Unfortunately, some people take a long time, and if the teacher talks for most of the period, suddenly it’s time for the last 15 minutes of class. I really can’t stand this rule.
I totally get where you’re coming from! The 15-minute rule can be really frustrating, especially when nature calls at the worst times. It’s true that everyone has to go at some point, and holding it in for too long can just lead to unnecessary discomfort. It does seem unfair to restrict such a basic need, especially when you have teachers who can sometimes go off on tangents. Maybe if enough people express how it impacts their day-to-day, they might reconsider the rule. You’re definitely not alone in feeling this way!
