Why are students not allowed to buy snacks from rest stop vending machines?
If we allowed students to buy snacks or drinks at every rest stop along the interstate highways we take on our way down to Florida and back we would encounter the following problems: 1) Difficulty supervising students; 2) Excessive trash build-up on the bus; and 3) More students desperately needing to use the bathroom between normal travel breaks. We provide snacks (both drink and crackers, etc.) at appropriate times during the trip. Students do not need to hit Interstate highway rest stop vending machines to fill up on additional caffeine drinks and junk food.
