You have a life threatening allergy, stay out of our school!
This is just sad
Parents are asking the school to force this student to be home schooled. This is just down right sad.

I'd like to know what other accommodations they are requiring parents to do for this. The article says that the kids have to wash their hands a few times a day and rinse their mouths out. I would guess the parents are to make sure their kids don't take any peanut products into the school, but other than that I'm curious if they have to do anything. I find it funny about the woman that went to the school to protest. I guess she doesn't want to take a few minutes a day and help this kid be able to attend school, but has time to go down and protest at the school.
I'm sure making sure the kids wash their hands a few times a day will probably decrease sicknesses around the school as well.
I'm sure it's a tad annoying to adjust, but in my opinion it's worth it to allow a fellow classmate to attend class.

This is what its truly about. A great way to teach students how something so simple can mean so much to a person. Their simple accommodations for this student may seem like an inconvenience to most, but it literally means life or death to one. An excellent life lesson for these young children.

I saw this and was hoping there is more to the story than what the article mentioned because trying to force a child to be homeschooled so that yours doesnt have to wash their hands seems insane to me

definitely a great lesson to teach kids about people being different and accepting and accommodating them to allow them to fit in rather than forcing them out of the situation so that your kid can eat snicker bars and not have to wash their hands a few times a day while at school.

Wow! That lady saying that she went to the school to "protest" makes me laugh lol. Seriously? The kids aren't changing their life for a student. They just have to wash their hands and mouths out with water and they can't bring peanuts to school. How much time outta their day does that take? Maybe a minute or a minute and a half at maximum.
A bit ridiculous. If I noticed some parents "protesting" at a school because of that reason I'd complain. Why? Because I just think it's a little over the top to be "protesting" over not letting a girl go to school because she has an allergy that is NOT her fault. She didn't ask for it. And the other parents are not treating her equally, simply because of an allergy that she probably never wanted to get in the first place.

Ill take a stab at being on the other side.... Why should all the other students have to do anything to accomodate her? As I see it she and her family have 2 options... Take her out of school or tell her to be careful while at school. If the parents want to take her out and teach her out of the home that is there choice but I dont get why 200 people would have to change their habbits so that one student would be able to attend. As far as the minute and a half per day... I would guess it takes much more than that... Have you ever seen kids in school take a bathroom break? It is probably a 10-15 minute distraction all together between the action of doing it and the time spent herding them back to the classroom, get them to stop spitting the water at each other, and quite them down after arguing who spit water at who....
