Homemade treats are banned in my school district. This is a policy that was established after a child ate a homemade treat and had to be hospitalized for an illness parents claimed was due to the food they ate at school. There was a lawsuit and the district had to spend big bucks defending the teacher who allowed the treats. Rather than thinking schools are unreasonable for not allowing homemade treats, maybe you should be thinking whether you want your child eating anything any student happens to bring to school. At least if it's a purchased treat you know there were some standards of cleanliness and packaging when the food was prepared. Yes, in a way it's sad, but unfortunately this is the way of the future. Food allergies are only one thing to think about when you're deciding what your child should be permitted to eat. Kalyn Denny Kalyn's Kitchen
