Tutor Quits After Boss Refuses to Give Water to Thirsty Kids

If your entire business consists of taking care of other peoples' kids, maybe providing those kids with their most basic human needs should be worked somewhere into the budget. Just a thought.

When u/frodothebaker sent an email to their employer inquiring about why on earth their tutoring company had a bizarre "no water for kids" policy, their boss doubled down and gave some BS excuses about expenses and "spills." Spills? Really? You're telling me the entire staff of a school is supposed to deny water to kids in order to prevent spills? I bet the parents just love that.

OP also included a copy of their resignation letter and a bit of context in the thread.

The comment section

Needless to say, redditors in the comment section were flabbergasted by the “policy.”

“Water spills are SO very difficult to manage.” said u/Disastrous_Lunch_899.

“Hey, don't discount the fact they were going through almost 2 (TWO!) 24 packs of water a week.” said u/FeeHistorical9367.

“I decided to call my local news station. I left a message - I should hear back later.” said OP.

“Stuff like this is why I don't mess with bathroom breaks as a primary teacher. You need to go to the bathroom/get water/etc? Sure, just stay quiet in the halls and don't dawdle. My job is to teach the class not police a few students bathroom breaks.” said u/bonez656.
