I sent some snacks in to school with one of my kids for the class and it was rejected because it was manufactured in a place that also used tree nuts. The school has a no nut policy. I commented that there is no one in the class that has a nut allergy and the teacher agreed. But her hands are tied, the rule is the rule and the teachers need to abide by them.
If she allowed my snack in then it may become routine and after awhile they will allow nuts in the class room as long as the kid with the nut allergy doesnt get any. Then everyone is making their own decisions till one day someone makes a mistake and a child dies.
So what is the best way to control the problem and keep the kids safe? No nuts products on school property.
