Re: weird school rule about food

August 12, 2000

I'd fight them on this. How ridiculous. Banning backpacks and food from

home? I have never heard of this before, and I would definitely NOT trust

them to make my child's food. They will in all honesty not be as careful as

you are. Don't let this issue go. There must be many children at the school

with allergies, of whatever nature, and they have obviously not thought this

out well at all.

Let us know what happens, it could help any of us prepare in case our

respective school districts decide to do the same......

I sure wouldnt trust a school to prepare my sons food. I have found that most

people dont 1) fully understand the diet,2) school personel think you are

crazy when you explain what the food does to them. My sons speech

therapist(when he was in public school he is no longer) one day couldnt

figure out why my son was struggling to use one word responses when she knew

days prior he was saying small sentences.I explained he had gotten 4 teddy

grahams. If she hadnt witnessed the regression herself I know she wouldnt

have believed that food could do such a thing. I would fight them to bring my

own food or find another school.
