up to a point.. sure.... HOWEVER... peanut allergies are so common. and can occur in children very unexpectedly. that it just makes sense to ban peanuts from school. (also a choking hazard) if you have a known peanut allergy in the school.. it really does make sense to ban them (and mind, peanuts is one of the things i am NOT allergic to) because not everyone can homeschool.. and seriously? its not a big deal to ban peanuts in the school given the frequency of peanut allergies... and how bad they can be.
now, that said? YES you have to take responsibility for the kids allergies on your own. YES you have to assume that its possible that some kid will, (probably not getting the severity) sneak peanut butter in some day.....
if you CAN home school... heck yes its safer, but if the kid is peanut allergic they are going to have to leave home at some point, and the more they can learn coping mechanisms the better.... and starting with a semi controled environment like a school, you can slowly work up to "normal life exposure"
oh.... i wear a silk dress sometimes from Throny Rose. it is a standard nubby silk dress..... but has been wahsed and washed, and washed... is that an issue? if so remind me often. i forget.. and my silk dress is a coppery gold color (old gold) the black and maroon ones are linen.
