re: Why don't kids with severe allergies go to special schools?

Fair enough. Sorry your kid had a tantrum. I understand, because pistachios are delicious. Regardless, maybe her being told no just now was good way to learn how to cope without any true harm coming to her.

In all seriousness, one reason the schools cater to children with allergies is because it’s a selling point for the schools.

Will a parent with a non-allergic send their kid to a school that caters to allergic children? Probably, if it’s a good school relative to other options.

Will a parent who has a kid that is allergic to something send their kid to a school that doesn’t cater to the allergy? Probably not.

Also, is it really economically feasible (from an institutional level all the way down to an individual level) to spend all the time, money, and energy to set up exclusive schools for children that are allergic to something. Short answer is no.

My point is, school is for social development and learning. It isn’t a restaurant. This really shouldn’t be that big of an issue. If my kid were allergic to math and science and they got rid of that, the butt-hurt would be warranted.

I think it's obvious he was just looking to get a rise out of people. As far as the other post about separating the kids in different schools, not a single person in this thread saying that actually thinks it's a good idea. Nobody would actually think that, it's just to get people riled up or be funny.

ETA: People who would actually think it's a good idea or actually could work are to retarded to be able to get on a message board and type that out.

My 11 yr old son has level 5 peanut allergies
It’s not something I would wish on anybody but to simply tell him that he shouldn’t exist because of this allergy is just fricking stupid
With that logic anybody that’s not “perfect” should be put down??
Way to go Nazi

Well I said it was insensitive. You can't deny the logic though.

Want to hear something screwed up. My little boy loves peanut butter so much he told me he wanted to have peanut butter sandwiches put on his grave.

It was both hilarious and horribly sad.

Why did no one my age ever hear of a peanut allergy?

I watched a documentary on this. A lot of doctors are starting to believe that parents are being overprotective and not exposing their children to enough foods and bacteria at an early enough age. They live in sterile environments and don't touch certain foods until they're 7-8 years old. Many children are genetically more susceptible, but their lack of exposure only makes it worse. They have immune systems that never develop.

I’d like to watch this, what was the name of it? On YouTube or Netflix?

Dude, you live in Slidell. You are used to horror. I'm not

Wow. Okay. I'm not that hard on the issue. I just wanted the discussion.
My wife already told me how selfish and heartless this idea was. Lol

My wife wasn’t wanting to make enough milk for the kid but I didn’t want him to be a weak allergy kid so I made her drink a gallon of milk every day. It really helped her production, especially if you get the kind with hormones
