Water....

[lasuber 36]

Am having a hard time getting Ll the required Water in. With non drinking 39 minutes before or after eating ( and eating something 6 times a day) I can't find the time to get it all in. I am still sipping, but not itsy sips. I go back to work in a week (teacher) and my principal has just enforced a rule of no drinks on desk, including water. How will I ever be able to do this?

I'm also a teacher. I would just talk to him privately!

I agree talk to your principal. I was very open with mine about eating and drinking during class. I managed to keep a schedule so that it wasn't too distracting for my students and so I wasn't dehydrated or malnourished.

I am a teacher too. First might I say that rule seems ridiculous! I agree with Treed2 try talking to him first, and if that doesn't work maybe have your doctor write a note! Good luck!

I would talk to the principal privately about what's going on....I went to my principal to tell her about my revision I had in June, and not to share the info with my co-workers (I dont have to tell you how other women can be) and she is being very supportive....

I'm a teacher too and that no Water rule should be illegal!

What if u keep it on the floor behind ur desk....

Hello! I am a teacher too. I had my sleeve August 1 and school starts Aug. 22. I am very nervous about my new schedule and drinking. I agree that rule should be illegal. Good Luck. Nice to know there are so many teachers out there.

Might. E a violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act!

I'm a principal and if a teacher ever told me there was a medical reason to dodge a rule, I'd be ok with it in a heartbeat. Not to mention telling teachers they can't have a drink on their desk is grounds for a union complaint/grievance in my opinion. How ridiculous!!!

It's not illegal unfortunately.

I was a store manager at a local convience store chain, we have a no drink policy, where any customers can see. I took it up with the health dept. OSHA, the top of the corporate food chain anyone I could gripe to. Good luck I hope it can be worked out.
