Do you believe kids should be able to have beverages other than water at school?

Question

In my city, kids aren’t allowed any beverages other than water in clear plastic bottles at school. They do this so kids won’t bring in alcoholic drinks, but that has never been an issue, even before this rule was established. I don’t know what to think about it, but I just wish I could drink tea in the first few periods to wake me up a bit. What do you guys think?

Answer

Yes because at my school someone put vodka in a water bottle so lol it’s still possible to do that with a clear water bottle

Answer

I only allow water in my classroom. Kids spill their drinks all the time. At least water doesn’t stain my carpet. I teach middle school, so alcohol isn’t so much an issue as caffeine is. It’s upsetting the number of kids who are dependent on coffee before they’ve hit puberty.

Answer

But you can pour out a clear plastic bottle of water and pour in vodka instead and it looks the same. I’d know, I’ve done it when in school a long time ago, except I’d squeeze lime and a flat sprite in it too. Try making lemon water and pouring it into your water bottle to wake you up :).  It’ll still look like regular water.

Answer

It depends on the drink and the age. Energy drinks shouldn’t be allowed cause they make your heart beat faster, but I think juice and squash is fine, as long as their parents allow them to have it
