[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Three new Muslim kids in the classroom and their parents are extremely conservative. The kids can't eat rice krispy treats, for example, because commercial marshmallows are made with gelatin, which is likely pork-derived. And many of the parents aren't sure how to deal with that.[/quote]

How on earth could the rice krispies thing be an issue?  What is there to deal with?  I WOH full time and am not involved in making rice krispy treats for my sons' friends, regardless of their religion.  We usually have some packaged snacks at the house (sun chips etc.) that kids can eat some of when they are over, or if they don't want to or can't eat it, they are welcome not to.  [/quote]

Don't get the kids in the middle b/c the parents are conservative.  It's not hard to find an acceptable snack.  What's the big deal?  bottom line - If the parents are insular, then the kids will suffer.  But why rub salt in the wound by being so petty about snacks?

Who's the grown up?  [/quote]
