Thread: What the Heck...For Real?!?!

I'm not looking for any and I'm not being smart. My daughters school doesn't ban peanuts we didn't ask them to, and I see no reason to. She has her own table, and nobody sits at it who has peanuts, peanut butter, or any other nut product. When kids want to sit with her, the lunch attendant checks their lunch for nuts, and if they have none, they are allowed to sit with her, no problem. A restaurant has no limit to who or what comes in the door and I'm fine with that, I can choose to not take her, school I can't, she has to go. All we've asked the school for is a food nut free class room and that anyone that would be around her the majority of the time be trained on how to use an epi-pen. I don't think that's asking a lot it takes 5 sec. to learn how to use an epi-pen. Her's a thought - There's lots of stuff banned, controlled substances that would seriously hurt or kill us all, you don't find them in your food though do you?

Soon they will tell us what size soda we can drink............ Oh wait they done that allready!

This is reasonable. You are just asking for reasonable accommodations. I have students with different allergies that could cause anaphylaxis from peanuts, to milk, to bee stings, and even soy. We all have to watch a video on how to use an epi-pen every year, as well as refreshing our knowledge on dealing with blood borne pathogens, asthma, and the Heimlich maneuver! You never know when it will become necessary.

I know a teacher that had a student have a major reaction to Kiwi fruit. No previous history. They had to call an ambulance.
