Such empathy. You must live such a blessed life, one that never inconveniences others. So lucky![/quote]

Honest question- if a child has severe allergies where he can’t be anywhere near someone eating or having recently eaten the allergen, what is your solution? If not separating him from anyone else who is eating, and teaching him vigilance? I don’t think that’s lacking empathy I think it’s realistic. It’s actually teaching him what he needs to do to survive- never be near anyone else who is eating. If that’s the level of allergy you claim your child to have- trace amounts being lethal if he touches a contaminated surface- then you need to teach him absolute vigilance and absolutely teach him that other people eating are not safe for him to be near. Period!

If his allergy is way less severe than that, then just not eating other people’s food should suffice in which case all of these food bans and allergy tables and school wide handwashing after lunch policies should be unnecessary. [/quote]
