Peanut-free classrooms? Peanut-free schools?

I wouldn't have a problem with at all. A friend of mine has a sister who is severely allergic to peanuts. We were supposed to meet at another mom's house for a little get together with her as ...she had just had a baby and hadn't been out much in a while becase she also spent a significant amount of her pregnancy on bedrest. Anyway, the hostess didn't know she was allergic to peanuts and had a dish of them out before she arrived. The poor girl ended up not being able to stay at her own party for fear of a reaction. She had had 3 serious accidental reactions in the prior two years and her doctor had warned her that another one in such a short amount of time could kill her. I know that peanut allergies are serious and I would be more than willing to go out of my way to protect my child's classmates. I wish more schools would take this initiative.

Proper knowledge of our child's health is good for parents so that proper nutrients be given to the children. Children must also know on what food they should not eat because of their allergies. This is a parent-child concern so that problems in the future regarding health matters must be avoided.

If I knew the reason for it I wouldn't have a problem with it whatsoever! Everyone has the right to go to school and not have to worry about getting deathly ill from going because of the fear there is a peanut or the threat of it in the vicinity. My friends son is deathly allergic to peanut products. Her husband had eaten a peanut butter sandwich and without realizing it he kissed his son on the cheek. They were in the emergency room within an hour, his whole face had swollen up and broken out into hives. It's amazing.
