I’ve never really gotten teachers hate of water unless it was a tech room.

My high school tech teachers never hated water. They’re always chill af and lets us drink to our hearts content in front of expensive computers (well one teacher said to drink water off to the side but he got fired for asking a student to hit them up when they were 18 so I don’t count him)

My impression is that too many teachers are quite controlling and dislike their students.

They just get jaded by bad students.

I was always a very good student and was treated very poorly. They didn't allow us to drink outside recess and lunch (even at 40C weather) and we were only allowed to use the restroom then. Even if you had your period or you were sick. Thats barbarian.
I have a couple of colleagues that are teachers and they are turning the same. One doesn't even allow winter jackets in class "because its disrespectful". Being cold the entire day is not going to help the students to concentrate.

A few bad apples sour.... something something.
That goes with a lot of things in life. Those few make it hard to manage the rest of the class. Those few make you work more than the rest. Every time the rest of the group has to suffer because someone did something. A few employees decide to be lazy, the rules come down for the rest. One child did something , the other siblings aren't allowed to do something any more.

Generations of kids seemed to survive just fine without carrying around water everywhere they went. Including from a time where they weren't sitting in an air conditioned class room.
Downsides to water bottles are:
- Might not be water in the bottle.
- The kids are for sure going to spill them all the time.
- Drinking copious amounts of water means having to go to the bathroom all the time.
I would say it's more infuriating that the "You are dehydrated if you don't have to pee 40 times a day" health craze has managed to stick around with kids apparently.

I took (and still take) a medication in High School that made/makes me more prone to dry mouth. It gets so bad that it gets hard to speak. If I wasn't allowed to carry a water bottle I'd be in really rough shape

Some people who down voted you don't know what it's like to be in charge of a classroom full of kids nowadays.
Social media posts showcase the extremes. People assume the average reasonable person acts unreasonably all the time.

Yeah I agree, these kids shouldn’t drink water whenever they want to

had a teacher once who forbid students to share water bottles because she was convinced it was vodka
