This post really made me think. I have to admit, I've always been one that sort of rolled my eyes at the whole "peanut free school" idea. I didn't understand why the parents couldn't just teach the kid to not eat peanut butter. I guess I never thought about the kid having to sit at a different table or back in the classroom. I know from personal experience that anything that makes a kid stand out like that really can suck socially. So I guess going peanut free isn't so silly after all.

I did a little web searching and it looks like the whole district has the same menu, so sending him to a different elementary school wouldn't solve it. I don't have any school aged kids, so I don't know much about the system. Is there some place where you could complain?
