>They're not even allowed to go to the bathroom without asking. Which is also pretty fucked up.

  Perhaps talk to a teacher about the pros and cons of that kind of policy. We're talking about minors here, and 'I need to go to the toilet' is one of the classic fake excuses.

    These rules are in place well after elementary school ages. In my highschool they were in place. I had to ask permission to piss, but not to drop out. Baffling.

    I went to a hippie-ish private school for elementary school and middle school. We were allowed to use the bathroom at any time without asking. It was never a problem, but if it had been, it would have been dealt with on an individual basis. I really think this is a case of absurd over-extension of power over children that everyone is quick to justify, but few are willing to actually test.
