How strict is your kids’ school’s peanut policy?
at my kids is school they have a table for kids who have a peanut allergy. If some one in the class gets peanut butter for lunch or bring peanut butter from home the child who has the allergy to peanut butter sits at the peanut allergy table. and the teacher ask the kids who are buying lunch or bring their lunch what they have for lunch and the teacher tells the child who has the allergy to peanut butter to sit at the table.
Peanutbutter is permitted in the cafeteria. Kids with allergies have an allergy free table that is never used except by the food allergy kids. Kids wash hands before and immediately after eating. Classrooms with an allergy in it have a warning posted on the door..
there public schools they went to did not have one but no kids were allergic thankfully. My oldest preschool (not at a public school) was strict strict AFTER the school realized how dangerous they were to one who is allergic when a teacher only OPENED a jar (for bird feeder project I WAS there NO ONE touched it)and kid stopped breathing and hit the floor in frt of 20 other 3 and 4 yr olds parmedics had to come revive her and then take her away it was aweful for them to see imagion if a kid brought it in they would feel so guilty :(. OUR homeschool group has an allergic kid so no peanuts in the lunches or with projects.
I HATE hearing ppl have issues with it really you have all day public school only ONLY (after holidays vacations) 175 days out of 365 then if they dont have lunch on there 1/2 days were down to 165 days YOUR kid will live not eating pb those days they can eat it everyother day they are home.
No Nuts whatsoever at School. Our Daughter hates Peanut Butter anyway. I don't see it becoming a problem until our Son goes to 1st Grade and is eating Lunch at School. He's only starting Kindergarten in September, half-days---so we have time to prepare him. He loves his Peanut Butter!
I voted moderate. There are kids at my son's school that do have nut allergies. There are systems in place to keep those kids safe, but there are still nuts allowed in the cafeteria.
In my sons classroom there are no restrictions. There is a seperate table in the cafeteria. There are only 2 kids that sit at it right now.
They used to have a peanut-free school, but this was impossible to actually enforce, so they decided it would be safer for the kids with allergies to move to a policy where they have peanut-free zones, which is much more enforceable. One out of my 4 children at the school is in a peanut-free classroom.
Sister's kids' parties and events....too much...need advice
