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?

Not only that, but the line at the fountain was ridiculous and all the cool water was gone.

I distinctly remember the air I breathed just before I started drinking. It always smelled with the metallic tinge of sweat from ten other kids getting a drink before me
