    Elementary school age kids don’t drink hot tea usually. Maybe in England, but that seems like providing kettles for all the kids might be a bit of a burn hazard.

      Nowhere in this article is indicated that these changes are only for elementary schools.

      And you go to school until you’re 17/18 years old. It’s perfectly reasonable for them to have a tea or a coffee

        Then they can take themselves to a cafe and buy a tea or coffee. This is about what all the schools are permitted to serve the students. Yes, some are 17 or 18, and some are 5 or 6 years old. Sugar and caffeine are the two most addictive substances widely available to children, and few things manufactured are as profitable as caffeinated sugar water. Put it in a bottle with fancy colors and a cool logo, have some social media influencers plug the drink, and then find a captive audience that’s sleep deprived, facing extreme pressure to perform, and too young and impulsive to make long-term healthy decisions. That’s called a business model.
