What surprised you the most this week at school and why? (This could be something about your own reactions to what went on, or something that someone did, or anything else that occurs to you.)
What suprised me this week at school was what students are really drinking in water and Gatorade/Powerade bottles. We as teacher think nothing of a water or Gatorade/Powerade bottle, but whats really in the bottles? Well let me give you the heads up teachers students are putting tranparent alcoholic drinks in clear water bottles (Grey Goose Vodka, Belvedere Vodka and Smirnoff Vodka) . To kill the strong smell of the Vodka students are putting water flavor packs such as (Propel Zero, Crystal Light, and Mio) in the bottle along with the alchole. They are also using Gatorade/Powerade to mix with alcohol this is very dangerious. As we know Gatorade/Powerade goes straight to your boold strem to rehydrate your body. When you mix the two it causes you to reach the legal alcohol limit 10x faster, cause alcohol posion, or death. This has been a issue in schools for the pass 2 years I am banning all drinks in my class.

Hello,I thik your post is very important. Thank you for sharing this information. I also agree with your policy of no drinks in class. Your thinking is sound! Dr. J.
This is a very informative post! Since this is something that your school is now aware of, has the administration thought about removing vending machines? I know that they raise a lot of school revenue. If this was ever the case at my school, my administration would be appalled. Not at the actual activity, but at the reality of having to possibly lose a large number of drink machines. I'm interested to see how this plays out. Let's hope that they get to the bottom of it soon. I would hate to see a huge fall out from something like this.
