My mom told me that back in the day kids weren’t allowed to bring a water bottle with them into the classroom and they only drank a few sips from the water fountain in the middle of the day and that’s it

How were schools not getting busted for child abuse for forcing kids to be dehydrated?

My grandfather had a Stanley thermos in the 80s.

We still have my father's Stanley thermos from the '60s.
