You ate not even comprehending what I am saying…. Of course you could enforce a policy in your home. Of course you can even enforce it Boy Scouts. Of course it was easier to enforce at daycare.mcginnisc wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 12:01 pmWait.. as someone that works in a hospital are you truly saying that saving a student from death is LITTLE BENEFIT?? Am I reading that correctly? If so.. wow.LiveWhatULove wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 11:40 amSo no home lunches or snacks? How else would you enforce that as school admin that would be more effective than a different dining area or table?Pjmm wrote: ↑Wed Aug 10, 2022 10:39 am
I think school lunches should be nut free. Like there’s a kid in our troop who is allergic to carrots. Can’t have beta carotene which is a coloring. So we plan menus that don’t include that ingredient. Now if one of us brings our own food that’s fine. Or the adults sometimes cook our own meals. But we think we should consider the allergic child and we teach the boys to do likewise as they’re buying the food for themselves. It’s really not a big deal to accommodate someone, at least in a small setting. Read a label, have substitutes, learn how to use an epipen if needed. No the world won’t be considerate or sacrifice. But one’s friends or club can make life easier for a person. Otherwise I have no opinion on nut free schools. If they do it fine. If they have nut free tables that’s fine too. I’m okay with some sort of accommodation. And if all your autistic child will eat is peanut butter that’s fine. Accommodate that too. But he or she needs food sensitivity therapy. They can’t live like that. My son hates vegetables. They make him gag. But slowly he’s learning how to prepare them so he can eat them. Because he has no choice tbh.
That is my main issue with the policy, you are asking a lot of people to sacrifice for little benefit, KwIM?
I'm the mom that goes out of her way to accomodate any kid that comes to my house. My girls have friends that have food allergies, texture issues, one is vegan..dairy free, gluten free. Yeah.. I will never be okay with possibly causing one of their friends to have a reaction or die because of my selfishness or non-willingness to make sure they are safe in my home. That would extend to school as well. They make sure that their lunches on Mondays will not affect any of their friends. It was the same when they were in private school and not homeschooled. I read labels then and I still do so I can make sure their friends stay safe.
I find it shocking that someone in the healthcare field of all fields would say there is little benefit to making sure a child does not die at school because of allergies.
But a high school? 1200 kids with backpacks, potential lunches, and snacks. Even if 1100 kids followed the rule — 10 kids sneaking in nuts — either that’s Paige threatening and if that is the cased the child need alternative education OR it’s a low enough risk, that then o a exclusionary lunch table would do the trick anyway.
My child had anaphylactic nut allergies, I don’t even need professional experience to tel you it’s a CYA policy that is not effective in large schools for anyone with severe nut allergies due to the inability to enforce it. And if their allergy is not that severe, then a ban is not needed.
I feel like every time you respond to me, you’re hostile & judging.
