Not uncommon but there are some times where the school goes too far. You don't want *nobody* eating in the cafeteria or anything like that.

As for uniforms, I would've been happy if they had implemented them when I was in school, it would force people to wear pants that fit instead of having their butt hanging out. So actually uniforms would have made it less like a prison.


haha, my butt still hangs out

back when I was in school kids were getting handed out suspensions for wearing pink [good times].

also, school is a learning process, perhaps you should take this time to learn that in the real world, everything isn't going to go your way, and you're not always going to be able to get what you want, and bitching only makes it worse in the end, because instead of pushing fowards you are halting your progress and wasting time.

you have to rebel!

it is only in the plight of the student being destroyed by the evil water mongering oligarchs that we call the liberal teacher that holds our nation back from greatness! slaughter them and become a forever lasting hero! for truly, when they take away soft drinks to benefit the health of the student it is the greatest of all sins!

Yes, because uniforms are always great for figuring out that those people smoking dope in the church parking lot are from your old school.

(I didn't have uniforms at high school but they just phased them in this past year. :\)

I always hated the fact that my school didn't have uniforms. They always fit me so well, dammit!

Vincentia High School near my hometown was built by the guy who designed Long Bay Correctional Facility. So it was, actually, quite prison-like.

That is all.

I brought that up because that style actually started in prisons. I won't go into why, but it has to do with why SuperLuigi64 should be very, very happy his school isn't actually like a prison.

If you think your cafeteria was bad, what about the time there were staples in my spaghetti?

Healthy food my ***.

There were 3 riots my junior year.
1 riot my freshman year.
And a gangwar in my sophomore year, knives and many other non-gun illegal weapons were used, along with a few makeshift ones (I wasn't allowed to bring a skateboard anymore, which was annoying because that's how I got to school.
I graduated early, so I don't know about senior year.

There were close to 50 liasons, and ARMED POLICEMEN on campus. But since we had an aclu (american civil liberties union) club on campus, REAL martial law was never able to be implemented, no metal detectors, etc. But lockers were NOT used.

Regardless, we had no school uniforms (but a reasonable but unenforced dress code) and everyone ate whatever the hell they wanted.

If you really give such a damn, contact the ACLU and see if they're violating your rights, because I think they are. They can choose to server or not to serve whatever they want, but going so far as to confiscating food you've purchased on the outside to be consumed at a designated time seems to be exceeding the legal control schools have over you (which they do have a considerable amount, I forget the legal term, it's like latin for parental consent).

Trust me, schools have done similar things, been challenged, and lost. So give it a shot, but be mature about it or no one will listen to you. But... if you're exaggerating and they don't actually confiscate stuff you've bought, shut up.

Personally I don't think it's a bad idea to have some kind of a "wellness policy" in schools.

In an age where obesity in western civilisations is on the rise -- especially amongst young people -- we need to be making sure that kids are eating the right thing and learning healthy habits. Drinking soft drink on a regular basis is not a healthy thing, and I'm not convinced that "flavoured water" whatever that entails is necessarily all that good for you.

Course, while I'd like to think that your school is doing this purely out of concern for students' health and wellbeing, they're probably really covering their arses from threats by angry parents and such.

Really don't know what you're complaining about. It's not like you're not allowed these things outside of school, and I highly doubt they really are going to confiscate things you bring from home anyway -- again they'd be in shit from parents

Two things:
1: The rise in obesity isn't a western trend. It's a non third world country thing. European countries are negligible percentages behind in obesity rates, not to mention Greece is actually the leader in this trend
2: Flavored water is generally calorie and artificial sweetener free (not artificial flavoring though), and is vitamin enriched in most cases.

I'd be less surprised if this was yet another gut wrenchingly bad idea by the local parent teacher association (P.T.A.)

As seen here, he's claiming they do. As for the parents... well, the PTA does a looot of things students, teachers, and other parents don't like.

While the food subject in schools isn't dead yet, my school served us green noodles, and no, they weren't supposed to be green.

I go back tomorrow, bright and early. I don't want to go back, like most people, but I'd rather get my last 2 years of high school out of the way and maybe college.

It is pop. It isn't an inalienable right.

Drink it from a trough when you get home, if you're such a pig.

I'm thankful my school hasn'r succumbed to that kind of BS, though you have to wait 'til after 2:00 to buy stuff from the Coca-Cola machine (seriously). My drink of choice at school would be that, Snpple, or Powerade. For a buck, you can't go wrong
