My school has this ridiculous no food in classrooms policy. What about your schools? And please tell me the names of your schools!

Wow I'm going to be really sad if this is the case at my future school. Sad and hungry.

No. Not that it matters because 9 out of 10 of us in my school skip class anyways.

Do they want you to starve?!?!?! Savages

The signs outside the rooms say food/drink isn't allowed, but it isn't enforced.

I eat all day in class, I don't know how I would survive if I couldn't eat. Plus our school gives out so much free food I literally pick up a new snack for class every day

I wonder what students did in the past to make certain schools prohibit food in classrooms. Did they leave crumbs and wrappers everywhere?

Just some food for thought here (no pun intended 😉 )

When you get out of the classroom and up into the clinic, you're not going to be able to have food in the clinic, and you're very likely going to be in the clinic for much longer stretches of time without the opportunity to leave your patient and go get some food, compared to the opportunities you likely have during classroom lecture time

In my own office, there are some days when I'll have enough time to swing by my desk in between patients/hygiene checks to grab a quip sip of water and maybe a bite or 2 of a snack whereas other days I may not get those same chances for 4 or 5 hours because its just that busy of a day. You just learn to deal with your nutritional needs...

I'm only a high school teacher but oh my god I let my students have food for like 3 days before I quickly changed my rules to only bottled water. Crumbs, wrappers, ANTS, everything sticky... the smells of it in the trash cans. Noooope.

For the people who are worried they can't go without eating: I got some complaints at first, but unless you bring me a doctor's note, I'm not budging. The longest you have to go at my school if you have a late lunch is 4 hours without eating (I have the late lunch of course). I just make sure that my breakfast is nutritious enough to last me. If I start feeling hungry, I drink water.

I don't even eat breakfast. You guys will get use to it lol.
