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!) I myself have a peanut allergy and have had multiple situations like this. I wished teacher's would talk about the severity of the allergy and explain that it isn't a joke. I believe if the severity of the allergy isn't explained this could lead to the child being singled out or even bullied for something he cannot control.
