  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!)
I would start by having a health lesson on different allergies and the possible reactions. Showing videos would help and also comparing allergies to things we can not change, they are a part of who we are. I would also pull the few students aside and explain that we are all friends and want to protect each other from harmful things. I would not want to make Jeremy uncomfortable by making him the primary focus for the classroom discussion about allergies.
