However, what choice do we all have? In the UK one in 50 children have a life threatening food allergy, I am sure America and Canada have the same rates if not higher. There would be very small classes in school if every child with a medical condition was excluded from school! what would be the answer in your opinion? I still think that food allergy, diabetes and asthma education should be part and parcel of first aid. I would even go as far to add ezcema to this, as this condition has a huge impact on a childs ability to learn or concentrate at school. Teachers should/are trained to plan a lesson with each childs development and abilites in mind. A teacher should not gaze around at a class and see just a group of children, but the individuals that they are. yes , teachers are overloaded, its the very nature of the job. As for the epi pen being easy to use, it is, but I would far rather we didnt get as far as the need to use one!!! Name: Email: Subject
