Boy, 5, left 'crying all night' after teacher pours away squash in 28C heat

"He has speech and language development issues, so when he was crying and told me on Tuesday night that his teacher had poured his drink down the sink, I thought he must have got that wrong.

"As I was dropping him off to school the next day, l thought I'd quickly pop over to check with the teacher, and she said, 'Yeah, that's right — school policy is water'.""It's sugar free, but it's nothing to do with her anyway," she said.She said she considered refusing to let Rocky return to class before complaining to head Simon Botten."You could understand it more if I was giving him Red Bull or Coca Cola, but it's a bit of squash.

"Like every other school in the local area, and on the advice of the NHS school nurses, Blackhorse has a long-standing policy of only allowing children to bring water in their water bottles. "This is because children are allowed to drink from their water bottles throughout the day and sipping on squash throughout the day is known to cause tooth decay.""We discussed Ms Lapham’s concerns with her when she told her that Rocky hadn’t drunk the water provided on a hot day," he said.

"I apologised that the school’s policy hadn’t been clearly communicated to her and that Rocky was left thirsty."Credit: Bristol Live/BPM MEDIABut the school has backed its 'water-only' policy and says Rocky must ditch the squash within weeksSingle mum ‘won’t have money to buy kids' food or school shoes’ after Universal Credit £20 cut

That's what happens when weak parents pander to their kids. Teach your kids to be grateful for whichever drink they're offered. And 'crying all night' - didn't happen.
