[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably there is a child who is severely allergic in your child's school.

Packing lunches is already difficult enough.[/quote]

Yes, probably.

But one of the problems here is there may not be a kid in the classroom with a tree not or soy allergy. But many schools just have a blanket ban on those already. So then you add sunflower seeds to it, and now a parent can't send but butter, soy butter, or sun butter. If they are Big 8 free, you also can't send eggs or wheat.

Schools make a mistake in restricting everything. There are too many common allergens. They shouldn't be banned from classrooms unless there's a documented allergy. [/quote]

They shouldn't ban at all because it doesn't work. Creates false security AND makes a$$hole parents like those who have posted here even more likely to disregard or talk negatively about the kids with allergies. As if the kid sare a probl! 
Bans arent even evidence based. Nuts aren't even the worst for sheer number- Milk is! And not intolerance, actually allergy to milk.
Banning foods also decreases the availability of foods for kids who have other allergies.
