I decided that the previously mentioned site wouldn't work for me long-term. Some friends decided to band together and make a place for us with direct up/downloads, removing the need for Dropbox, etc. it is free. I will migrate my materials there. It is spammy.org.

It's perfectly normal/acceptable and no one cares. Not the teachers, not the principals, and not the students.
i sometimes think pecan lives in a parallel universe.
PNW, even if not used in acronym form is making a lot of assumptions.

Moreover, some smuggle alcohol into their drinks, which is one of the many reasons districts and schools have adopted comprehensive policies to address these problems with snacks and beverages during class time.

Oregonian to be exact. maybe your district was just strict. Students spill, but students shouldn't be messing around a teachers desk in order to spill a teachers drink. If a teacher is going to drink alcohol during class time they will whether you ban drinks while teaching or not (there are always break times, etc), so that's not a very effective deterrent. In elementary school my homeroom teachers were with us all day unless we were advanced enough with math and went to the local middle school for it. Or during PE, or the month of music we got a year.Sure students aren't allowed to have drinks besides a waterbottle, but teachers are generally fine.
Schools experiencing difficulty:You usually find some alienation between the teachers and the children and the teachers become negative.The quickest way to improve this situation is for the teacher to model professional behavior. Then you can see who is following you and you can challenge and support those who are not.Teachers have to be examples to the whole school community:− the adults in the school− the children− the wider community, especially the children’s parentsLeading by example is particularly effective and important to:− improve pupil behavior− improve professional behavior− promote the importance of teaching and learning− demonstrate what high standards are
Quote from: Chinguetti on October 13, 2017, 03:12:59 pmI drink tea and coffee during my classes all the time. I even offer some to my coTs. Never heard a word about it. I admit I'd get miffed if I did because wtf.I was told not to drink coffee in front of the kids. Like, WTF. Teachers around the world, for centuries, have been doing this.

Teachers could drink whatever whenever. Pretty sure if my teachers couldn't have coffee we would have driven them insane. But I most definitely had friends who smuggled straight vodka in as water. I wasn't about to be drunk in class but it made for an interesting mock trial in our law class...

Or during PE, or the month of music we got a year.Sure students aren't allowed to have drinks besides a waterbottle, but teachers are generally fine.Not sure if you are trying to be funny or what, but I was talking about students drinking alcohol, not teachers, which is why beverages, like Coke/Pepsi are not allowed during class.Again, snacks weren't permitted either due to the potential mess and the distraction that they cause to other students.Do you follow?If you permit food, what food would you allow? All food? Smelly food? Crunchy/Loud food? Durian? Kimchi?Do you see the issue and why schools and districts make these rules?As for teachers, sure, you could make the "argument" that the rules do NOT apply to the faculty and staff, but my point and what typically happens is we LEAD BY EXAMPLE.Not sure why of all people this is a tough one for "teachers" to grasp, but making rules and exempting teachers from them doesn't end well...QuoteSchools experiencing difficulty:You usually find some alienation between the teachers and the children and the teachers become negative.The quickest way to improve this situation is for the teacher to model professional behavior.
