TBF, students using going to the bathroom as an excuse to do other things is very real. Not all student do it, but some do and these people cause a lot of issues.

I generally keep the rules: leave your phone in the classroom and be back in 10 minutes.

The amount of students that suddenly don't have to go anymore once they're reminded they need to leave their phone is very high.

Can confirm, I did this to skip parts of band rehearsal on days where my part was super dull to play.
