[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We wouldn’t allow coffee. It’s just so bad for you. [/quote]

It's actually good for you, unless you are having more than 5 cups a day (which is crazy).

Doctors have said for years that teens and children shouldn’t be consuming caffeine.[/quote]

They've also said that teens should be able to sleep in much later.  We make them get up at 6 or 7, and then sit still in mostly boring classes for 7 hours .... none of that is developmentally appropriate and expecting them to do it without caffeine is probably just not realistic.  Also, realistically, older teens have been drinking caffeine for probably hundreds of years, especially considering that for much of human history 16 year olds were MUCH more likely to be working than they were to be engaging in studious or recreational pursuits.

I wish they sold some of the energy drinks like Monster in MUCH smaller cans.  Mine opens one in the morning and drinks a few sips, then has a few more in the afternoon, and then we throw half of it out every day.  I hate that stuff but she won't drink tea or coffee.  [/quote]
