Wouldn't it be easier to move 1 child, rather than inconvenience many?
Maybe everyone should just move to a whole new city.
"Wouldn't it be easier to move 1 child, rather than inconvenience many?"
Oh, no. Not a "special needs" child. They must be taught that they are more important than everybody else and the world will change to suit them.
Yes, but we must punish "normality" and coddle the fringe groups.
Makes sense but I remember when I was in grade school. Packing a peanut butter sandwich was a special day as most days I ate the cafeteria servings. Being able to go sit in the "peanut gallery" would have made it double special! Only problem would be that "trades" would be severely down since everyone had the same thing.
That's NOT how the nanny SOCIALIST STATE works comrade!
The many sacrifice for the one.
I have an allergy to peanuts as well, not diagnosed until I was well into adulthood. Although not severe my doctor said it will become worse with subsequent exposures.
It is easier for me to avoid exposures but in some cases there is no choice. If this is a life-threatening situation for the child by all means protect the child.
In worst cases just exposure to pollen from peanuts can cause a severe reaction that requires imediate medical intervention. So isolating someone from peanut exposure may not be so simple. Peanut butter on unwashed hand of a child can potentially cause a severe reaction for some. So how do you seperate the peanut consumers from those who suffer allergys? The school could ban peanut butter completely so the child would not have to be isolated. But I think giving the child a peanut-free location option is the only choice, like it or not.
Thankfully for me that is not the case as of now, but could be in the future. Even peanut cooking oil causes a noticible reaction so in the big picture avoidance is the best option when possible. Peanut allergy is more common than people realize.
Exactly, it's got to be much easier to maintain a peanut-free table/area for just the allergic child. It's really that simple.
As an adult he'll need to learn to adapt, at least if he wants to enter the workplace. Might as well start now on it being a two-way street. My fiance has a mild allergy to most nuts (peanuts are one of the few he can eat safely). My mother is seriously allergic to pinenuts. Neither of them demand that their entire environment be kept nut-free, they simply are careful to avoid exposure to known allergens.
At least the school isn't banning peanut butter. It's a nutritious and inexpensive source of protein for the overwhelming majority of the population.
From the report I heard, the parents refused efforts to protect their child by segregation, instead demanding all other students be forced into this situation.
Not if your a bleeding-heart liberal. The rest of the world is supposed to revolve around and sacrifice to the singular exception.
It's what the PARENTS of the 'special needs' kids demanded.
I can top this. Forget a special table.
There is a lady that works with me, her daughter is in preschool and she is NOT ALLOWED to bring food made from peanuts or that has peanuts in it to eat for her lunch.
The classroom door has a pic a MR. Peanut with a red X on him and above are the words "Peanut Free School Zone".
No.If you move the one child you are then segregating him from the rest. That is a lawsuit.
