[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our upper NW DCPS is not peanut free. [/quote]

Wow, which school is this?  Seems....outdated. [/quote]

Neither is ours. There's a nut free table.

Elementary school students are old enough to manage this.[/quote]

I think you are overestimating the ability of elementary school kids to always be able to take care of themselves. I always reminded my kid to [b]not[/b] take food from anyone else and to only eat food from his lunch box and given by me every.single.day. Nevertheless, my child would still forget and take candy that was offered or that was available at parties on occasion until he was about 9 or 10 years of age. I have also read of teens who forgot and ate a cookie and died as a result.

Therefore, asking for peanut and nut free classrooms is not unreasonable at all. This is especially with younger kids since little kids have a tendency to smear things like peanut butter all over the place. Better yet, all food should be eaten in cafeterias IMO. [b]Why can't kindergarten teachers take kids to cafeteria for snacks? [/b]Taking little walks like that is good for the kids anyway.[/quote]

One reason is that not every school has a cafeteria. Most DCPSs do (Murch being one exception). Many charters do not.
