Below is a link for a news segment from Good Morning America as they visited Wallace Primary School in Hoboken, NJ, where my sister, Lea, is a kindergarten teacher. The Interview was based on Wallace becoming one of the schools taking a step forward to become a safer environment for children with peanut allergies. They are now a complete peanut free school, but many question is this a good step in the right direction or a step backwards in the wrong direction? I think schools in general try to do everything they could to make the school a safe haven for all the children attending it. I would love to hear feedback from everyone and see what you all think.
Please feel free to real the article and watch the video clip....enjoy!

Great posting!
ReplyDeleteI am eager to see what others think.
What does your sister say?
My sister is happy that not only her school but other schools are taking the step to better the lives of the students, but like many, she also questions if this is a positive or negative answer to resolving the ongoing battle with allergies.
ReplyDeleteShe sometimes thinks that by doing this maybe it could make sudents less tolerant of various foods by prohibiting them in the school or will it be great because less children will suffer from having an attack? I guess time will tell.
