We went to DD5's K orientation yesterday. They have a rule that kids can eat NOTHING unless it's provided by the cafeteria or sent from their own homes. The teacher can provide no foods whatsoever, and parents cannot send in food for the class (no bday foods, class parties, anything.)

AND she would prefer that they not bring crackers for snacks because of the crumbs...a child with a gluten allergy might get the crumbs. She suggested pudding or yogurt for a snack.

Ohhhhh, so she 'suggests' pudding or yogurt...

JEEZ!!!!! Just another example of a teacher/educator with control issues... Believe me, it is the messy 'crumbs' that are her issue!!!

What a lame excuse about the gluten allergy!!! I would imagine that far more children would have an allergy to dairy (yogurt, pudding)

Aside from a few common sense rules, NO teacher will ever control what my child eats. That is up to me and my child.

While I appreciate kids who are allergic to peanuts not eating them, I am upset that my son cannot bring anything with peanuts in it for HIS OWN lunch or snack. He's in second grade and they must bring a healthy snack everyday. My son has had Ritz Bits Peanut Butter Crackers every day for the past two years at snack time. Now, we have to figure out a new snack. And it cannot have any chocolate in it. No cocoa crispies bars, no granola bars with chocolate chips, etc. Additionally, he can't take a peanut butter sandwich for lunch, or peanut butter and apples/celery. Peanut butter is one of the only sandwiches you can pack that doesn't require chilling.

If he brings peanut-anything to school, he gets reprimanded.
