I've seen schools with "nut free classes" and "nut classes". I think that seems pretty sensible. Another requirement that a lot of schools institute is only allowing sealed store bought goodies (cupcakes and cookies and such). Even if you don't put nuts in your brownies, there can be cross contamination.
It's a pain for the parent's of allergy-free students, but far less worse than if a child were to go in to anaphylactic shock. And I've heard of cases where even peanut dust can set a person off, so in those cases, it's better to be safe than sorry.
It's just bizarre to me. What are we doing different today that wasn't happening 20 years ago? I know we never thought about these things in grade school, and I didn't know a soul with a peanut allergy. And don't say it's vaccines!!!
