You don't seem to get that a child's life is at stake and it isn't worth being so stubborn about whether or not your child can have a pb sandwich. Just because a school is private, doesn't mean there isn't more parents just like you who attend there and aren't willing to overlook their wants over the health of a childs. Some parents can't afford a private school. It isn't just a matter of the child not ingesting the nuts, just touching where there might be some peanut oil can be catasrophic. I am lucky my son has no food allergies. I think about his classmate and her parents who are willing to trust everyone to read labels and be aware of what they are packing in their childrens lunches. I am sorry to admit that the other day, I accidently packed a peanut butter candy in my son's lunch. I never pack candy in his lunch but I thought I would as a treat. I wasn't thinking. I was surprised to see it come back in his lunch at the end of the day. He knew about Macy's allergy and remembered it could make her sick so he didn't take it out. You could learn a thing a two from my 4 year old son about selfishness and putting others needs before your own. Name: Email: Subject
