My opinion on the 15-15 rule is that we should not have it. Because if you have to go to the bathroom really badly you can’t go. And you might just say go to the bathroom before class but if your class is very far you can’t go during class change. Also when it’s the last 15 minutes of class and you have been holding it for the whole class you can’t go to the bathroom.
Also some teachers might not let you go and subs even if you have to go to the bathroom they just won’t let you go. But you might say just have your teacher write a pass to go to the nurse but on the nurses door it says come if you’re hurt not for the bathroom. And if you have a sub they might not write you a pass.
Some people might go to the bathroom just to not do classwork. You might say but if the teacher knows you go to the bathroom a lot. They might not let you go to the bathroom in the first 15 minutes of class. But in the last 15 minutes of class because some teacher gives time to do homework or classwork.

I think we should remove the 15-15 rule because it is really useless. What is the purpose of limiting the time we can use the bathroom. Some teachers already use student conductor which gives you 10 minutes for the bathroom which is plenty. If you are having an emergency I think you should be able to go. I don’t understand why teachers think that we can hold our bladder for an hour. Using the bathroom is a right not a privilege.
