Yes. I'm speaking as a student here. I would bring energy drinks with me often because I would always go to sleep late from working on schoolwork. This would cause me to wake up late; therefore, I wouldn't have the time to actually have something to eat or drink in the morning, so I would bring an energy drink with me to school to have at lunch. Believe me, it was very helpful.
However, I do believe they should only be allowed in middle and high schools. The last thing we need is elementary school children bouncing off the walls from drinking an energy drink. Also, those children are way too young for that much caffeine. It could hurt them.
Should Energy Drinks Be In Schools?

and besides that kids now dont go to bed untill like 3 or 4 in the morning so
i would think teachers would rather have really awake kids than dead asleep kids.
help~
I know they're bad for your health, but seriously the world is chock full of risks. Even eating too many mandarins could give you health problems. But you'd have to eat alot.
Curious how many of these students will end up chugging their e. drinks before getting to/back to school.
Not selling them on school grounds is understandable, an outright ban feels... wrong. Especially for a public institution.
However, I do believe they should only be allowed in middle and high schools. The last thing we need is elementary school children bouncing off the walls from drinking an energy drink. Also, those children are way too young for that much caffeine. It could hurt them.
& schools are trying to be healthier? Right?
I think energy drinks would be badd
The teachers complain about their short attention span now. Wait till they have a class full of kids pumped up with caffeine and ginseng. lol good luck.
High Sugar and High Caffeine is dangerous. The reason why pregnant mothers aren't allowed them is because drinking is linked to a high rate of termination. The sugar alone adds to the obesity epidemic (rather than fat, the evidence shows us that while fat levels in food has decreased, weight has gone up....coincidentally so has sugar).
Caffeine and Sugar in these concentrations are also damaging to the health and well being of a child under the age of 14 when the drink is consumed more than once a week. There has been plenty of studies done regarding caffeine and children. It's not a good mix. (it's also addictive)
Secondly... so you're against healthy food and for big government... that's a bit of a shocker. I'm for healthy food and against extra paper work and documentation. Simply encourage healthy, balanced food and everyone is a winner. No added paperwork, healthy children, lowed obesity rates.
Shall we go through this logic fail?
Parents are supposed to teach their kids the facts of life, how to read, how to write, how to count and a bit more than that too. Especially about sex education, how to avoid diseases, how to cook, how to manage the home and so on. (Granted schools avoid this now in favour of more academic subjects...of which parents avoid as if it were contagious, especially if uneducated themselves). Yet many parents do not do this. Schools were originally a place to go completely voluntary as a place to learn however due to economic problems, reading and writing skills and various industrial races and the desire to get a better job, schools were eventually made compulsory in many countries around the world. To instil basic literacy and numeracy skills.
Last I checked...but bear with me, it has been a while, schools did PSHE (Personal and Social Health Education...or something along those lines). This lesson, in the UK (I am aware that the USA has something extremely similar of another name) teaches children the basics of Sex Education, how to do bills, teaching about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

If you can trust a school to teach your children Science...Mathematics the intricacies of the English Language (Americanised version...Shakespeare probably says 'Wazzup' a lot), if you trust a school to teach children about Physical Health (because obviously, what goes into the body is absolutely NOTHING to do with Science, PE, or PSHE in the slightest no siree...) then why not trust a school to teach them about nutrition and encourage healthy eating.
School is there to teach. Let them.
