Just get up in the middle of the lecture and walk out completely unannounced.

In more civilized parts of the world, that’s just how it’s done.

That’s how it was at the university level for me in the US.
In high school though, yeah even 20+ years ago it was getting permission to leave or having justification to be wandering the halls during classes (which I often did, haha).
It didn’t seem overbearing at the time because we would move between classrooms every 45 minutes anyway, and it was like the school was responsible for you like a parent would be.
In hindsight, yeah the authoritarian structure of the public schools looks bad, especially since the country has slid to the right and school security designed around mass shootings is the norm.

It’s usually an age thing. The teach is to some degree responsible for keeping the kids out of harms way during the lesson. They need to roughly know where they are until they are considered old enough.
