[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A lot of you parents are packing snack bars that I know have nuts because I've checked the labels and have had a hard time finding ones that do not contain nuts or aren't made in a shared facility.

Are you in public school? Because that's not allowed and really thoughtless to the kids who have allergies. [/quote]

the world does not revolve around your kid-grow up.  Nuts are way better than gold fish, pirate booty crackers etc my kids need protein and love nuts so they take them.[/quote]

Your school allows nuts in the classroom or do you just disregard the rules? Our kids' teachers don't even allow granola/energy bars since most of them are made on shared equipment with nuts.

luckily fewer and fewer schools put everyone at the mercy of a couple of kids.  We do not disregard any rules-lots of parents are fed up, thank GOD!!! Go NUTS!![/quote]

Thanks for answering. I didn't know this revolution was happening. Hope our teachers take note.

The issue with having nuts in the classroom is if you have a child allergic to nuts, and they sit right next to someone eating a snack of nuts, the kid could have a reaction.  Plus, then nuts get on desks, pencils, door handles, etc.  In the cafeteria, we have a nut free table, so my dd sits at that table. I have one dd allergic to nuts and one who is not allergic.  But my dd who is not allergic has 3 kids with a nut allergy in her class.  I actually try to send nuts with my dd who is not allergic, but I never send them to the classroom.  I only send them to the cafeteria.  I don't get why you would want something that could kill a child in the classroom.  It is because of this reason that more and more schools our outlawing food.  So just keep on sending nuts and not worrying about other kids, and pretty soon, there will be no food allowed in the classrooms at all.  [/quote]
