The only way it seems I am going to get my Y7 to stop having his water bottle/juice drink spilling in his bag is not to give him any!

Shall I?

Third time since he started and most of his books are fucked despite covering them in plastic!

I've just told him that I will take a baby beaker of water into school to give to his form tutor to feed him when thirsty.

We have just practiced packing and repacking his bag and opening and closing a water bottle.

Am so peed off with his dumbness!

Does he have a screw top or sports bottle type? Screw tops are much more secure to go into bags, especially the way boys chuck them around!

We tried several drinks bottles which all leaked. He now has a screw top mineral water every day. We get whichever water is on offer. The only solution that works for us.

Give him a plastic bag in his bag to put all books in!

What kind of bottle are you using?
