grrrrr. Today my vp had to sit in for my first 2 classes because my coteacher had an issue with his leg and had to see a doctor. I got scolded for drinking hot chocolate in front of the kids..... I'm like.... really? It is just hot chocolate....
i had an open class years ago, and the principal's sole complaint/feedback was that i was sipping water during class (mid-summer!)
I 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.

Teachers around the world, for centuries, have been doing this. It's part of being a teacher.

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.
