school rules[RD]

Getting a new school, thats awesome, getting the rules that come with it, well that is ridiculous. The new school has many great characteristics like the skylights and the space but there is one thing wrong with it, the new rules. Most of them are adequate coming into a new school but there are two that are borderline insane; no coats and no water.
Water doesn't stain, it is healthy and very necessary so why is it against the rules, no one knows. It is hard enough to get the accurate amount of water in a day and when they don't allow water bottles it makes it more challenging. Water helps students focus preform better throughout the day. It is especially important because they lose a lot of their fluids during practice and have to gain those fluids back during the day to stay hydrated. The school just doesn't understand how ridiculously paranoid they sound when they ban water bottles, I mean seriously what damage will the water do. It's not like we are going to just start pouring it all over the floors, we are not as incompetent as they think.
The no coats rule to me seems somewhat barbaric, they don't even turn on the heat until 7 making the morning classes freezing. When students are cold they spend more time complaining and focusing on how cold they are, rather than paying attention to the teacher. Sure people can wear hoodies and sweatshirts but when someone shells out over 300 dollars for a letterman jacket they should be able to wear it. But, the school staff seems to believe that we are carrying around contraband. Anything we can carry in our coats we can carry in our lockers and backpacks, so are you going to take those away too? I don't think so, so why can't we have coats if we can have lockers and backpacks? Yet again, another unanswerable question.
These absurd rules must change, we understand it is a new school and we have to take care of it but, I thinks no water and no coats is taking it a bit far. Its completely farcical, and is causing controversy not only with the students but with the teachers. We are not five we can handle having waterbottles in the classrooms. It has never been a problem before, why is it a problem now?
