Some schools will be over zealous and ban them.

Other schools can have kids with such severe allergic reactions that it's the simplest option to ban them. This is mainly primary schools. I'm not saying if that's right or wrong, there's too many variables.

Kids can't be expected to perfectly manage their health problems, that's why at most schools yes the kids may have an EpiPen, but the school is also generally required to have one for each kid with a registered allergy.

I believe my daughter's school just had a 'no peanuts' table in the lunchroom.

[-] SGG@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

That's awesome if it works. But I had to provide IT support at a school once that had to specifically tell even contractors to please not being anything with peanuts onto the school grounds. They had a kid with a severe peanut allergy and a habit of licking everything (behavioural "quirk" to put in nicely, I had literally been licked on the elbow).

Admittedly that was only once in almost 20 years of doing IT support in schools. But I am more than happy to sacrifice some personal liberty in that kind of situation.

Ironically, when I was in middle school it was a common joke to lick people's elbows when they weren't paying attention. The joke was that they might not notice it at first, since elbows supposedly had few nerve endings.

It was about as common as untying people's shoe laces, for a while. Meaning: very common.

Sounds like the school doesn't know how to take care of any student... There should be exactly 0 cases where the IT support people for the school are interacting with individuals that are high needs like that.

Maybe they had to go into a classroom to fix a problem.

Without a teacher/aid present to deal with the students?

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

Maybe they had a dozen teachers arranged in a defensive line of scrimmage but this licker kid broke through, in a relentless rage fueled by the unquenchable need to slobber on that sweet sweet elbow.

That's what I'm saying... School isn't taking care of their students properly. Gotta get Eddie Hall in there to restrain him from such actions.

Seriously... I'd be worried about what that kid is doing to other kids if they can get away with doing that to staff....

Is this like a new thing? I don’t remember in the 80s or 90s schools having any kind of such peanut policies. Yet everyone here is posting like this is completely normal.

Is there some kind of peanut allergy outbreak epidemic going on with children now? Should someone be investigating this?

Or 30 years ago, all the kids with peanut allergies were home schooled and kept hidden from society?
