    This is why I liked college way more than HS. You could bring in a full ass burger combo and chow down during a lecture and nobody gave any shits. As long as you didn’t make much noise and the food wasn’t too fragrant.

    But teachers like this in any level of education can fuck right off. People have shit going on and you don’t know their story. Maybe they’re diabetic and need something to bring their blood glucose up, or they have some kind of anxiety or other disorder that snacking can help with… As long as they’re not disturbing the rest of the class, leave it alone.

      A friend of mine use to be a teacher. He sided with the student when the student needed to carry an eppy pen around and the school’s zero tolerance policy said the pen needed to be stored at the nurse’s office. According to the friend, the principal didn’t care about getting sued over a possible student death.

      One semester I had class from 9am to 6pm. Being able to eat lunch in class was a godsend.
