  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 talk to the students who are doing it. If it's a severe allergy I would suggest maybe letting Jeremy eat somewhere else like a picnic bench outside with a friend he can choose.
