I'm Starting To Think My Childhood Might Have Been - Tumblr Posts

The elementary school I attended wouldn't let anyone use the water fountains because they thought (1) if we drank water, we'd always be asking for more water and (2) they were afraid we'd cut class somehow (by the water fountain). They also wouldn't open the windows on a really hot day during sixth grade graduation rehearsal (there was no air conditioning in the auditorium) and we weren't allowed to sit down to take breaks between songs.

Then one day, I passed out during rehearsal and they decided to alter their policies. My mom might've yelled at them; I don't remember.

This was in New York City in the early noughties, so you'd think they'd know better, but I guess not.
