Man, that word "reasonable" here really burns my britches.
Haven't these people ever heard of Letter to Zirkel??
Sheesh.
As a side note, it is MIND-boggling how ugly school staffers, teachers, and even other parents can be toward children like this one.
And so much for "hidden" disability, eh? Nothing like calling that one out by putting a child into a special "disability" seating arrangement when parents and the child's physician ask for more appropriate risk management. Contact-sensitive kids are a real challenge for schools-- everyone knows that. The problem is when schools choose to behave like petulant children themselves over it. These parents and this child certainly didn't choose to have this medical condition to live with, and what possible motivation could they have for exaggerating it?? I realize that most people know at least one person who has self-diagnosed or made-up food allergies, but a kid wearing a medic-alert bracelet who can explain what anaphylaxis is and how to use an epinephrine autoinjector.... probably is not exaggerating anything.
