do you actually need bathroom/hall passes in other countries?

[That ain't it chief]

so, where i live, like in all the schools i've been to *about 7-8 by now* you've never needed a pass, and there weren't hall monitors, so you could do basically anything you want.

though i never did

I believe it's a stupid system, in university and at your work you also don't need a pass to go to the bathroom soo not sure why schools implement something that won't be used in the future

[Tanooki]

Yes, we do have to use it but they are not used that much and hall monitors isn't a thing here, so most students who had to go out just didn't use it.

in the UK you go, "hey teacher i need 2 whizz" and they go "lol ok just don't lock yourself in there and skip the lesson because we know where you are thanks to ALL THE SECURITY CAMERAS" and then you go pee (where there are no cameras, what, you think we're perverts?) and you go back to class and the teacher goes "hey you missed this vital piece of info" and you go "me and my bladder thank you"

true story

[Frezmo]

Don't even need to ask just walk out.

Yes, they made it that way after they found out kids could do drugs in the bathrooms.

in austria i went to both private and public schools , none of them had hall monitors or bathroom passes (at most a teacher who had nothing to do would be standing around somewhere but most of them were near coffee machines or the teacher room ) , you just told the teacher you had to go to the bathroom and done , the only thing the teacher didnt allow was for the half class to go at once like 5 minutes before the break ( and during tests only 1 could go because obvious reasons ( quick answer comparison in the toilet )

Here, it depends on the school.

No hall monitor, schools tend to have security walking around (unarmed, plain cloth). If they see a student not in class when class is in sessions, they get asked. A hall pass gives the permission to be out of class and shows that the teacher knows about it.

Too many people trying to skip classes or cause trouble. It also helps identify those that are supposed to be there.

Here in Sweden we didn't any such thing when I was in school. If you needed to go to the bathroom you could just go and do it.

It wasn't being abused either so I guess there was no need for it. But that was more than 10 years ago so maybe things have changed.

[shoopy]

In my school you were likely to get away without having one because nobody was in the hall usually, but if a teacher did happen to pass you in the hall they might ask if you have one.

[Meneluma]

Nope, no such thing here, just the odd security camera no one watches the tapes of unless something crazy would happen like a window getting smashed.

We had good pranksters using these benefits, from one guy barging into every classroom with a horse head on freaking the teachers out to another one with a trumpet calling in the end of class early (instead of a bell there was a recording of a trumpet march, which coindicentally was not that hard to replicate with good results)
