same complaint different post

i just love the professional learning days but rather than getting classroom stuff done we have to sit in faculty meetings..we have one kid that has a severe peanut allergy..they put signs up on the door, and took peanut butter sandwiches out of the lunchroom..enough is enough..yet we have to suffer through a faculty meeting with an allergist talking about all the dangers of food allergies.....what is this world coming to? not to mention the rain forest they killed just for allergy handouts.

    Perry, I couldn't agree more!! We have our professional learning day this Friday. I really dread it because we never seem to get anything accomplished. All the teachers seem to bicker back and forth. I could be doing so much in my class and lab that would truly benefit my students and make my job a lot easier. -Riley

    I feel your pain. I know that food allergies are a serious issue, but to spend a faculty meeting on the topic seems absurd. I'm sure you could have spent your time better elsewhere.

    I'll admit that some times we have to listen to things that are boring,but the issue with training everyone about the very serious Anaphalactic shock that is associated with food alergies is not a bad idea.My soon to be four year old neice has a very serious food allergy.So far she has been to the emergency room 4 times three in the back of an ambulance,simply because someone didn't realize how serious food alergies are.If someone has a serious allergy something as simple as eating a handfull of peanuts and unloading the dishwasher without washing your hands could lead to an emergency room visit.Just thought I would try to explain why that your school may have done this.
