She allergic to fire ants and bees and she has stepped in an ant hill at her homeschool program before. If someone were to chase her with an ant, I can't imagine what I would do. <br /><br />You might want to spend the summer testing out different snack foods to pack. Perhaps purchase an allergin free cookbook?Ahermitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12246307693236606434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-52031774734489100812011-03-23T00:42:37.982-05:002011-03-23T00:42:37.982-05:00This was totally not your point, but it just sort ...This was totally not your point, but it just sort of jumped out at me and you know by now that I'm a little random at times.....<br /><br />A shellfish free classroom? Seriously? Is it common for parents in the midwest to send their kids shrimp cocktail to share with the class when it's their turn for snack? Field trip to Red Lobster? It just seems a little overkill to declare a shellfish free classroom. Peanuts, I understand. PB&J is standard kid food and peanuts are in a lot of things. The shellfish thing did make me laugh a little.Gombojav Tribehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02396911376797476193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-53856470366167160832011-03-22T15:07:10.466-05:002011-03-22T15:07:10.466-05:00If my kid couldn't have milk at school then I ...If my kid couldn't have milk at school then I would just give it to him at breakfast and dinner time. <br /><br />It's funny because Chaz is into eating healthy right now. When he goes through the lunch line he chooses regular milk over chocolate milk. He cracks me up. AND convicts me. <br /><br />That class for Autistic kids sounds amazing!Virginia Revoirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12426979985073932937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-22545950744516867142011-03-22T13:34:33.108-05:002011-03-22T13:34:33.108-05:00I'm sure that does make for a tricky dynamic i...I'm sure that does make for a tricky dynamic in the classroom, but I'm with you- I'm glad to see they take it seriously and make it safe for everyone...no matter how allergic they are.Blondeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11827536147609261504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-3573677853593789312011-03-22T11:17:24.386-05:002011-03-22T11:17:24.386-05:00I just wrote a comment that went into the virtual ...I just wrote a comment that went into the virtual trash! <br /><br />Let's see...<br /><br />Oh.my.gosh!<br /><br />I said I wish I found it hard to believe the research study you linked to. But, I don't. <br /><br />When I first adopted my oldest daughter, a woman gave me a video on a person who is WIDELY accepted as an expert in attachment therapy. She had videotaped herself refusing to give a young boy the inhaler he used for asthma until after he finished cleaning his room to her standard. He was sobbing. When he finished the room, he was required to sit silently in the center of the floor until she came to inspect it. She would not enter the room until she no longer heard any cries. I could not believe what I had seen. I thought she should have been arrested and had her foster license removed instead of paid to teach other people how to parent. (I have a confession. I didn't return the tape. I threw it out. I really thought it was garbage.)<br /><br />Anyway, I am glad Woodjie's teachers are taking his allergies seriously. I suspect there are other kids in the class who are on gluten-free and casein free diets and don't tolerate milk well.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12875561671945374840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-24675717746212034812011-03-22T08:41:22.352-05:002011-03-22T08:41:22.352-05:00I keep saying to myself that the whole world has g...I keep saying to myself that the whole world has gone mad<br /><br />there is so little thought<br />and almost no moderation<br /><br />I'm glad the school responds to allergies and I suppose safe is better than sorry but it seems that some allergies, like the non deadly ones, could be handled better with just a little more effort<br /><br />of course part of the problem is that everyone sues for every little thing<br />a neighbor wants to sue the school because her daughter fell in the play area!!<br /><br />there was a news report on CNN about how adults ignore and in some cases instigate bullying<br />it made me so sad<br /><br />Hope sends hugsDiannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02946500110072411468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2212741399857110313.post-25173360059417058702011-03-22T06:38:08.455-05:002011-03-22T06:38:08.455-05:00Are you serious?
