[QUOTE="Josie, post: 415098, member: 1792"] I read this article and had the same reaction as you. How hard is it to get the kids to wash their hands? What about teaching a little bit of kindness and compassion for the child with the peanut allergy? My kids were lucky enough to go to a small private school that taught tolerance, kindness, and respect for others. When B was in 1st Grade, there was a child with a peanut allergy. Hers was not as bad as the FL child, but she did have to sit at a different table from someone eating peanuts. The *children* in that class decided they would not bring peanuts to school to "support her" and so she could sit wherever she wanted. I am glad you posted this. I read those comments and couldn't believe there wasn't a single person supporting the child. I will say that if my child had a peanut allergy that might kill her if someone made a mistake, I would not trust the public school to handle it well and would make other arrangements. But that might not be realistic for this family and I support their desire to have thier child have as normal a life as possible. [/QUOTE]
