ELI5: How can teachers (legally) deny you the right to go to the bathroom (in the US)

Excuse any errors if there are any, English isn't my first language. After I moved to the US, I was shocked in school when a teacher denied a student the right to go to the bathroom. 

In the US, doesn't this violate your human rights of some sort? You don't make a dog ask for permission but you make a child do? Doesn't this violate the OSHA regulations?

Generally teachers do not refuse students a trip to the bathroom.

You are really only made to ask to demonstrate that you can't exit the classroom without the teacher's permission. Its an authority lesson more than anything else.
