Rock Stars and Red Bull

so my oldest comes home with a letter from the school that says "dear parents: please be advised that it is now our school policy that students will no longer be allowed to bring energy drinks to school, thank you for your assistance....etc." ok, i totally understand the schools opinion on this but here's my biggest concern, what parent in their right mind would send their 10 yr old to school with an energy drink? for the love of pete, i can't even carry on a conversation with anyone without at least one kid hopped up on kid energy bouncing off the walls interrupting me. what 10 yr old needs an energy drink? apparently enough of them to warrant the school sending a note home about it. i can see a few kids with them for various reasons -sneaking them out of the house or taking advantage of a grandparent who doesn't know what they are, etc. but not enough to warrant a ban from school. but apparently i'd be wrong.

as a parent, what part of you thinks sending your kid to school with a Rock Star Energy drink is a good idea? were you all out of crack and coffee that morning? i feel sorry for the teachers. like it's not hard enough to be a teacher with tween-age kids whacked out on hormones and adolescence but now you have to deal with red bull mixed in there too?
