Course now it's so anti-anything that even the staff get bitched at if they dare to drink anything but water (considering most teachers LIVE on caffiene from their coffee it's barbaric) and you have to teach 30 kids all sucking on their waterbottles like Maggie from the Simpsons. We even got told we had to stop giving one tiny sweet (like a single jelly bean or the like) away as a merit prize at the end of the week.
