[quote=Anonymous]1.  Some candy has nuts in it that can hurt another kid without anyone realizing it. Some parents are respectful of 'no nut' policies but might forget that candy can contain nuts.

2. It's not nice for the kids who can't have candy for medical reasons to constantly see other kids at school eating things that they know are yummy but they can't have them. It's also hard to police it when they're younger and might try to be nice and share.

3. No sane teacher would really want to deal with a classroom full of kids that are high on high fructose corn syrup and chemicals all afternoon. Some classrooms already have half the kids medicated for ADHD. Do you really think candy in the lunch boxes would help things?

And that's without thinking about the smaller things like higher than normal risk of choking hazards, sticky fingers, etc.

All in all, I think it's a fair request to ask parents to bring it with them for pickup if Larlo can't wait until he gets home for a treat.[/quote]
