  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!)
When I was in elementary school, we had a boy in our class who was allergic to peanuts. During lunch, the students with peanut allergies sat at a certain table, close to friends, but not with them so there were no issues like that. If a student teased with peanut butter, they would be scolded. I think this was effective because it kept the students separate, but the students with peanut allergies were singled out. Maybe something similar could take place?
