If I had a kid and my kid was the kid with the allergy, I'd sleep much better at night knowing I didn't have to worry about him dying at school by accidently eating a friends sandwich. If my kid was one of the other hundreds of kids I'd be thankful that he/she didn't have this allergy. The other kids are all lucky they won't have to eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches as well.

The reason schools are so careful is due to the severity of the reaction. Odds are greater that a child will share their peanut butter sandwich vs a bee stinging them in the play ground. Just be glad peanuts don't fly.

Bones, I agree that I am very happy my child does not have the allergy, but that is not my point. If my child did have the allegry than I would sleep much better at night not sending my child to a school and risking them coming into contact with a peanut. What I mean to say here is where is the line between what a child can be allergic too and what society will do to prevent this child from coming into contact with. For example, suppose my child is allergic to soap. Does that mean we remove all the soap from schools? Etc... Does that help my point of view any?

I agree. Cater to one...cater to them all! What happens if a diabetic child eats another kids lunch? I am sorry, but I have enough on my plate without having to take a magnifying glass to every label on everything I buy. My children have medical conditions as well...but I don't expect every child in their classes to have to suffer with their limitations!
