If it is, then maybe they should find a new profession. In fact, I really don't see what the teacher really needs to do other than know basic first aid and how to administer an EPI pen. The child in my sons class who has the nut allergy is certainly no burden to her classmates or the teachers, her parents provide her snacks and the school is a nut free zone. How hard is that? You seem to be knowledgeable in how severe someone elses childs allergy is and that the parents are blowing it out of proportion and being demanding. How would you even know what the parent demands from the teacher? I certainly don't know what goes on between my son's classmates parents and the teacher, why do you? Did you mention you were a teacher? If so, how sad that you feel that way, you should not be working with children. If not, and you just seem to know everyone's business, maybe you should get a life of your own and stop trying to dictate how other parents care for their child. I am sure there are parents who expect all things from a teacher but that would go way beyond the issue of a child with an allergy. Name: Email: Subject
