Subject: one size fits all solutions

My problem with the one size fits all rule about a nut free environment is that it does force everyone to adjust to one person's health issues. Yes, a child with nut allergies should not be served PB at school. Her/his allergy has been acknowledged and noted. However, every public place is not able to accomodate every private food preference or health issue. Therefor, I feel public schools should not have to function as quasi hospitals, and that a child with very severe allergies might need to pay for a smaller, private school in a setting that is willing and able to cater to individual food preferences.
