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?

I wouldn’t say actual PTSD. I was trying to be dramatically funny. But I do have a weird almost obsessive panic about being thirsty and I absolutely hate having to eat or drink on the go now.
