[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 415105, member: 6705"] I stand somewhere in the middle on this one... I can see asking the parents to make sure the kids don't bring peanut anything to school. And kids need to wash hands anyway, so this is good training. It's the mouth rinsing that's got me on this. And the peanut-sniffing dog. Honestly, I am all for making reasonable accomodations for those who need them. When I was in HS, there was a girl who required accomodations. She and her parents did everything they could to make everyone else's lives easier - and in return, we helped Angie out whenever she needed. I can't remember exactly what the handicap was (20+ years ago). FAPE was enacted the year I graduated HS, so it wasn't required the school help out at all. But some of these go beyond reasonable. And I would suspect that, if the allergy is bad enough to be life-threatening, there might be other things that can be done. Still... I do feel for the young lady [I]and[/I] her parents. They're doing everything they can to make sure she's safe... For now. And I'm glad my kids don't have any major allergies like this... [/QUOTE]
