  Case: Peanut Allergy
A little boy, let's call him Jeremy, is highly allergic to peanuts. The students in his class know this and the classroom door even has a sign on it that says "no peanut zone." It seems that there have been some issues at lunch with students threatening Jeremy with peanut butter--all playful, but saying things like "look, Jeremy, PEANUT BUTTER!!!" and holding it inches from his face. Is simply talking to the students at fault enough? Should other actions be taken?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Growing up and as I still have this problem today with myself. I am highly allergic to peanuts. I think this is a serious issue, that needs to be addressed immediately, as this allergy is severe, and deathly. Having a class discussion and showing visuals about what could happen, but yet being informal with this situation is crucial. Sending home the information that was presented to the kids in class even before showing the class, the students' parents/guardians can understand the safety factor with this child.
