I think the main problem is that the schools deal with this from a purely liability stand point. The schools reaction is not about protecting kids it is about preventing litagation. So as with most safety measures we put in place the solution is the best solution to prevent litagation but not the best solution to protect those affected by allergies or the least inconvenient solution for others.

In my opinion it should be handled on a case by case basis. If a person is severly alergic and the aeroma of penuts then that person should be entitled to go to a nut free school (maybe have one it the city). If it is injestion or contact that causes the reaction the schools should use education of all parents and students as a better method then knee jerk bans for everyone.
