Bottled Or Tap Water?

Bottled water is so much better than bubblers in many ways. Nobody wants other people’s germs. How annoying would it be to keep asking for water and distracting the class in the process? If we had bottled water, we wouldn’t have to ask. Bottled water should be allowed in schools because it keeps us hydrated, because bubbler water can be really gross, and because sometimes kids put their mouth on the bubblers.

    First, kids can stay hydrated. Sure, bubblers give water too. But when you drink bottled water, it tastes so much better. If a teacher says you can’t go to the bubbler during a test or lesson and you’re really thirsty, you can get dehydrated! Especially those kids who have gym class. They could be really late to class because the line for the bubbler is to long or they won’t even get a chance to have water!

Second, bubbler water sometimes have gross water. When you drink bottled water you know where it came from and you know it’s fresh. You have no idea where the bubbler water came from. I could come from anywhere like a lake or a sewer, you have no idea! I know I don’t like the thought of that!

Third, bubblers usually have other people’s germs. Some kids put their mouth on the faucet, where the water actually comes out of. Those germs get mixed in with the water. If a kid was sick and drank the water while putting their mouth on the faucet, then the next person that drinks from the bubbler has a chance of getting sick. What about when the bubbler is damaged or broken and the water doesn’t come out very much?  Then all kids are putting their mouths super close to the fosset.

Lastly, nobody likes getting sick. Nobody likes drinking gross water. But everybody likes knowing that their water is fresh. Let’s face it, bubblers can be really bad for kids. Bottled water is usually really fresh and it should be allowed in schools. Lastly, it is a perfect way to stay hydrated, healthy and happy.
