My daughter is in middle school. There are only grade 7 and 8 students in the building.
They are not allowed to bring anything with nuts (this has been the rule all through school), and we just received a letter saying that they aren't allowed to bring anything with chocolate now because there is a student who is allergic to it.
I can kind of understand this in younger grades where children are not as aware or capable of taking all the precautions they need to with a serious allergy. Grade 7 or 8 though?!!?
What do these kids do when they go to a store or restaurant?
My daughter had a mini cliff bar in her lunch yesterday with chocolate chips. (I forgot it had chocolate in it) She said she snuck a bite when she was outside and then felt so guilty so she threw the rest of it out. Lol
Maybe I just don't understand fully because I've never had to deal with a child with a severe allergy.
