    I have a daughter with a tree nut allergy. When she was in second grade, I stood up at "Back to School Night" and announced to the entire assembled set of parents that there was a student in the class with a "Drop Dead" (yes, I used that term, I find it tends to get people's attention) allergy to tree nuts, and to please exercise care when sending treats for the class.

    Three days later -- not months, but three days -- some idiot sent their kid with brownies chock-full of walnuts. Luckily, the teacher was aware of the situation, and didn't distribute them in class.

    While I don't call for banning from school, I do ask that other parents exercise common sense.
