I’m sure you’ve asked yourself this before, “Why are they not allowing energy drinks in class?” or, “Why won’t they allow other drinks than water?” This rule is set in the rule book not to prevent us from having what we want but so messes don’t happen more often than they already do. According to Mr. Gipson, “When students spill these energy drinks, they will go to clean it up. But sugar gets left behind making ants a problem in their locker.” On the contrary, Caleb Taylor said, “Students should be allowed to bring what they want for a drink, but they have to keep it in a closed water bottle instead of an open container that can spill easily.” Although there are arguments on both sides of the topic, ultimately it is up to the administration to put the rule in place.
