Y7 and water bottle leaking in bag - 0ver and over again!

[grants1000]

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!

I found Sistema bottles the least leaky here

We use Sistema too. But you do have to twist them to close them. But once closed you can turn them upside down and squeeze them and they don't leak.

My daughter takes an old juice or coke bottle with screw top lid. Some bags have bottle carriers on the side. Alternatively, he could keep it in a Tupperware container, or have a good drink once a day and agree to throw the rest away or keep it in his locker and have a good drink at lunchtime.

Just use an old Coke (other fizzy drinks available) with a screw cap. Sports caps can often leak.
