Well said! Get them exposed and stop whining. AMIRITE?!Kids get sick and it's healthy for your kids to get sick. It builds up their immune system. Quit being such as wuss...
I agree. Put them on the bus instead!Parents that continue to bring their sick, germ invested brats to school.

We went to school unless we showed signs of death for two or three days, no one stayed home.
And also, with the thousands of kids that I went to school with, I never knew one of them to be allergic to peanuts.
That's because they made those kids eat in the boiler room with the janitor.We went to school unless we showed signs of death for two or three days, no one stayed home.

I don't want to be disturbed when I'm home with the au pair.What is PTO? Your kids should stay home with the au pair.

Anyone remember the story of the FSU academic adviser who died of a peanut allergy at a Chinese buffet?Literally NEVER heard of anyone with peanut allergies. I wonder if there are new pest resistant varieties that have created the issue?
Yeah, I don't get it. And it's not just peanuts...the amount of allergies in our boy scout troop is insane. I hear more all the time.
On an individual level, I'm not going to call BS on any individual parent. It's tough enough being a parent, and when you're having health problems with your kid and find something that resolves it...it is what it is. If there's something wrong with my kid, and someone tells me they're allergic to green socks, and it works...I'm going with it.
But there HAS to be some BS in the phenomenon somewhere, there just has to be. A huge number of these things must have gone undiagnosed without incident in the past. My son had a couple incidents that we eventually tied to cashews. A couple times he had choking/breathing fits, a couple times he threw up...and we eventually figured out a cashew connection. We went ahead and had him tested, and he came back as severely allergic to about 8 different nuts, including cashews, and were told to keep him away from all nuts.
I pushed back a little bit...some of these things he was eating regularly his whole life with no side effects. I wasn't really excited to impose all those restrictions for him for life, when he was eating peanut butter, like every day. The doctor finally had to admit that the tests for these things weren't conclusive by any means, and false positives were common. Because his reactions hadn't been severe, and because he was old enough, they agreed we were fine just to let him eat what he had always eaten, and just keep him away from cashews. Especially because he was older, and could monitor what he ate, and express it if he was having issues.
That's something we would have never have even put together if we didn't know nut allergies existed. If that was me growing up, it would just be a few random incidents spread across a childhood. So there are millions of cases I'm sure where the allergies would have gone virtually unnoticed a generation ago. And some kids probably walk around with an epi pen strapped to their arm for the rest of their life because they choked on a baby ruth once.
On the other hand...people do DIE from it, and have massively scary episodes. If that was going on a generation ago, we would have noticed. Everyone knew there were people that could die from a bee sting back then...we would have known about peanuts if that was happening, especially with probably 20% of children supposedly deathly allergic. So SOMETHING is real and has changed.
I've also heard of speculation about immunization.

I was allergic to everything as a kid: grass; animal hair/fur; certain trees; milk; etc. Dad said he'll grow out of it. I did.
Maybe if we had laws that protected parents for having to take time off for work to take care of their children I'd be more understanding. Sure it sucks when an illness spreads throughout a school, but if it's either send your kid to school sick or lose your job, lose your ability to provide for your family, sometimes you send your kid to school sick.
AMEN, this is the best thought in this thread. The same people who will whine and moan about not getting better health care will turn around and punish people for needing time off for sick kids or needing to go to the doctors office.

Depends on the job.
What kind of protections are you guys proposing that would give employees these rights without being a huge burden on employers?
