"No need to drag everyone else down to do it. Just elevate."

My point exactly. The last thing the kid probably wants is to inconvienience the whole school. I understand he is not a true "special needs" child but the school sure is treating him as one and in the process teaching him that special considerations will always be given to him because of an allergy to a food.

Instead of making a pansy out of the kid and leading him to believe that the world will bend to accomodate his every need, I say they teach the kid to get along in the real world where a peanut allergy gets you squat.

I agree with you. In this event, as you stated, we have shown him that everyone will accomidate him. Instead of it being a two way street. This extremesism is doing more harm than good.

I wonder when in the last 20 years did our children become such rice paper panzies.
