Question
I teach in a Talmud Torah for 10-year-old children. Sometimes children ask for permission to go to the bathroom during class. According to Halacha, should permission be granted every time they ask? Is it correct to say that if they go before the class, they don't need to during the class, and if so, should those who want to leave do so at the expense of part of the break?
Answer
Shalom and blessings
The answer of our teacher, the Gaon, Rabbi Avraham Fried, shlita:
If the child truly needs to, you should allow them to leave. However, often the child does not really need to.
You can act according to your understanding and as needed.
