“Yes. Do you require a demonstration?”
That usually works to shut em up.
Always wanted to do this

The one teacher I had that would pull that line was not just being a smart-ass; they wanted you to be autonomous and didn’t care if you just left to use the bathroom real quick. The hall pass was just on a hook next to the door so you could jusy grab it and go without needing to interrupt class to ask.

Yes. It’s why there is an entire genre of comedy based on it: slapstick.
Any other pointless, moralistic virtue signals you want to add or ya done?

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.
