There's a school nearby us for which the teacher must call a duty teacher for the student to go to the toilet. That's at least 30 seconds of the class wasted.

At ours, I say to the student they better be fast, and they are. If it's 5-10 minutes to the end of class I ask if they can hold it, respectfully (they're 16, honestly) and they usually acquiesce. If it's a girl I wouldn't be harsh and let me them go, but that's because I almost rarely get requests from girls. Boys just wanna piss.
