As far as I am concerned, if the school wants to insist on feeding my kid someone else’s homemade cupcakes they can damn well refund me my $5,000

No offense, but is the school shoving the cupcake down your child’s throat? If parents are made aware of a child’s allergy in their child’s class, don’t you think we don’t send such foods to school? My child is allergic to things and has declined those foods when offered to her. She has been doing this since preschool.

No offense taken. Nobody has ever made my child eat anything and we have been pro-active with schools from the start about the school not offering anything. My child has also learned over the years which foods are a problem and as time goes by it gets easier. I did notice that the ban in S.D. is for elementary school only and not for any schools higher than that.

I’ve never asked for any ban and don’t care that there is not one in place at our school. Our school chooses to address our request as ad hoc and that’s fine with me.
