We are growing up and should not be forced to go four or more hours without eating or drinking anything, except for an occasional sip from the water fountain. I realize that many teachers will think that writing from a student's perspective, it is more than a little biased to say that students SHOULD be allowed to eat and drink in class, but I honestly believe that this sort of thing should be allowed. I know how hungry I am and how hungry the other students must be too. Another thing that shocks me about this topic is that when I was in high school, I would walk into my classroom and not be allowed to eat or drink, yet my teachers would sit at their desks and eat or drink whatever they wanted. If we can't eat or drink whenever we want, teachers should follow the same rules and establish a voucher
