No Water???

Posted online about another bomb scare at a local middle school.
"My daughter was miserable today on the bleachers with no water."
It's shameful how kids are made to suffer these days. Couldn't the school have bought a thousand bottles of water to distribute to the kids while the bomb squad was searching the school? 🤣
When I was in school, I didn't need a constant supply of water. I can picture kids in the future with water strapped to their backs. "Before you go out, dear, make sure your water bag is full."

When I was a kid we went on bike and walking hikes for hours without carrying water or anything.
OMG - I don't know why we didn't shrivel up......
(Of course we didn't do that when it was 85+° either.)

Poor thing! That is a real struggle - hope they don't join the military!

Has a bomb ever been found when a bomb call came in to a school???????
No, never in the history of school bomb threats has there actually been a bomb.

Maybe schools should also maintain an emergency field kitchen for these situations so the kids won't feel hungry, too. Oh, and to make sure their self esteem isn't adversely affected, they should have a team of "emergency response psychiatrists" available to provide infield counseling.
In all fairness, kids today have to contend with the real chance that a peer with an AR-15 is going to show up any day and a planted bomb isn't much more remote a possibility. All we had to worry about as kids, was an atomic war, but did any of us seriously think it was actually going to happen?

They probably weren’t allowed to leave the bleachers to use the fountains.

Right! They say that most people who carry water bottle with them are over-hydrated. I can understand bringing a bottle of water with you if you're going to be off in the wilderness for a day, but humans don't have to drink every ten minutes.
When you think of the situation of companies taking water from the local systems and then selling it back to us, it's ridiculous. My water at home is free. Why would I buy it? Don't get me started!

Our tap water is like $1 for a hundred gallons....
We fill a water bottle(s) for trips.
VERY RARELY do we buy water when out and about.

Related topic: What percentage of Coke and Pepsi is water - from the community water supply? About 90% of soft drinks is water. Add bubbles, flavor, and color, and you have a relatively expensive drink of water.

Then again, they'd have to bring in porta-potties for a thousand kids having to pee.

Another example of what's wrong with kids today. It's helicopter parents who are too protective of their kids, and imagining all sorts of pains and feelings that their babies might, but really don't, experience. The school should notbe wasting taxpayer funds buying a thousand bottles of water while kids are waiting for the buses to arrive to take them home early--which is what the schools automatically do. If a child is truly dehydrated the school nurse would take care of the one or two actually affected.
