My wife is actually a high school teacher, so she is affected by this as well. She now teaches in a nearby town so I asked her if her school also has turned off their water fountains. Si. Or kind of. She tells me they have "water bottle re-filling stations."

Oh man.

I know this is WAY off topic, but...

My last conference at a formerly 5 star hotel did not have room service due to CV, did not have it's jewelry shop which closed due to CV, did not have a robe or hygiene items in the room due to CV, and the previously catered dinner was 'on your own'. Seriously?? The third time I heard the 'due to CV' excuse I asked, 'Did you all get bought out or something?' and they admitted that....Due to CV they did!

Again, off the topic of water for kids which is arguably much more important, but how many things 'due to CV' are just actually due to conglomerate and/or govt takeover or overreach? And why aren't more people noticing these things and upset about them?

Don't get me started!!! Fond memories of my high school football playing son who had to wear is official eagles logo gator over his face OUTSIDE fall of 2020, followed by a cancelled football season. So dangerous to play an outside sport back then. Meanwhile, my birth state of AR had a fall 2020 football season. I guess the virus was more dangerous in CA??

Good vent. Linking it today @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/

I remember when all the hospitals and doctor's offices turned their water off, as if covid was traveling through the water pipes. People don't normally put their mouths on the drinking fountains they just drink the water. Now they all seem to have them back on. What changed? We still get a new so-called scarient every few months. Don't they come through the pipes as well or have the pipes developed immunity now.

Also remember when the virus was in your poop, "It's everywhere"!!!! And that's the point, it's always been everywhere and wearing a mask and standing 6 feet apart won't do squat. The best meme I ever saw showed people walking on all fours because the government told them to because the virus hovers 3 feeta nd above. Used it as my Image for The Day last January - https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/2022/01/04/58207/

Scoliosis is on the rise and the heavy backpacks could well be a strong factor. Children should not carry more than 5 lbs on their backs, especially young girls.

Everything taken away will not be given back. What is returned will be slow and one at a time.

Petty people stay petty.

Don't punish your kids more. Make them a real lunch. Lunchables are garbage.

Keep them for emergencies.

Question, are you allowed to bring bottled water like deer park? Why was it that some fountains were colder? No one ever researched that. Are kids eating in their rooms?

Bill,

I am in Iowa and my daughter tells me the fountains were turned back on months ago!

By the way you may want to look into this outfit:

So, Bill, what's up with Substack now? Yours is the 4th stack I've read, the 4th stack I've hit the "Like" button, and the 4th stack that pops up the subscription prices and won't let me comment. I have to back up and come in through "Comment" to be able to comment. This started today. 🤔

If the water in your area is fluoridated I wouldn't want my kids drinking it so maybe shutting off the water fountains is a good idea. Buy bottled water, it's better for you.

Hope you fill the bottles with fluoride-free water. Reinstate the lockers.
