I was volunteering at my daughter's Field Day (with my 2yo son in tow). We left our drink (big bottle of powerade) near one of the water stations while we went inside and readied all the otter pops for after the kids were done (about 5 minutes). We came back and were informed (by a student and the coach) that a pack of 5th graders decided to share it amongst themselves and drank it. First off...ew! What if we were recovering from strep and they all caught it? Second, boundaries. I know I left it there, but if it was a teachers, they wouldn't have touched it (plus my son had dropped it and cracked the cap so I didn't want him sloshing it around everything and getting it sticky). So should I talk to the principal, or let it slide? I know that if it was my child and I found out about it, I'd be very upset.
