For School Children, Where is the Water?

http://www.cnn.com/2011/HEALTH/04/18/water.school.children/index.html?iref=allsearch

This article is about the issues of children not having enough accessibility to water at school. They are finding that water fountain do not to the trick of hydrating the students through out the day. A few problems with drinking fountains is that it is easy to spread germs, the tap water may not be healthy and that there are usually only a few within the school. Many students complain that they do not want to get up in the middle of lunch to go to a drinking fountain and then wait in line for a drink. I feel as if schools should provide water bottles for the children.  Students safety and their health is very important. If a student is suffering from hydration that can cause problems with learning. They have been trying to come up with ways to make water more accessible in schools in a way that schools can afford.
