Parenting: Food allergies are not a joke when you see the letter we received. [View All]

Today when I picked up my son form kindergarten, he gave me a letter from the teacher informing us that a child has a SEVERE allergy to certain food items that could potentially trigger a deadly reaction. You hear the jokes. Once I rolled my eyes when I saw a parent on the news ask why a child isn't just put into homeschool so her own little joy can enjoy his peanut butter. But when I read the letter today it really hit me: It's no joke and no child should have to leave school because of what is essentially a disability. So we will do our part and be careful so that everyone can be safe and happy in school.
