[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you have a child with a severe allergy, they should not be participating in a group snack.

If the peanuts were in another child's lunch, then your child should be taught not to eat things from other people's lunches.

If your child cannot be in a room where peanuts may have been at one point, and may not touch anyone who recently ate peanuts, you may need to reconsider sending them to school.

If someone out there is still panicking, keep this in mind: very few people in the U.S. die of allergy-induced anaphylaxis per year. The internet has simply made it much easier to find out about horror stories, and much easier for parents to learn about symptoms of allergies, get tested, and get diagnosed. [/quote]

What is WITH the goddamn snacks every five minutes in the schools anyways?  When I was growing up, we didn't do all that.  We didn't do the birthday party every other day, moms didn't have to bring in the bazillion cookies and cupcakes...   Prior to the last decade or two, kids grew up just fine without a million snacks.[/quote]
