The main reasoning behind this school rule is that a child could bring alcohol in these containers or they could hit fellow students with them.

Were you in grade school getting plastered or high school? Age makes a huge difference.edit on 21/2/13 by WhiteAlice because: (no reason given)
North East Independent School District says the policy was put in place to prevent students from hitting each other with the bottles and to prevent students from sneaking in alcohol. The policy is only for middle and high school students. Elementary school students in the district can bring water bottles to school.

That was being directed specifically to the person who said they got plastered at school using water bottles...not the article, itself. If you note, I also shared that, locally, we do have water bottle restrictions (though not formalized) at the elementary school level here. Clear, uncolored for even 1st graders and one teacher imposing a ban on water bottles--at grade school level.

"I was just told that if my son wants to have water instead of milk with his school lunch he needs a doctor note or has to pay extra. Wtf is wrong with schools nowadays."
