that a school should work along ...but there is a limit to everything.  To request that all packages of anyone entering a zone should be ’investigated’ and to hire a special nurse for thirty hours a week (when it can be done in about the same time it takes for a single parent of us to educate staff members on the basics of CAH) all so that a little preschool girl should be able to attend a particular kindergarten (when she will probably end up just as ’educated’ if she will start her schooling in first grade when she will be old enough to take responsibility for her health to some degree) is totally crude.  Not talking about the fact that if the school would work along with everyone they could easily abolish every form of food from entering their grounds.  After all, which family doesn’t have some sever allergies and intolerances, and how many children are there that have diabetes and to whom any form of carbohydrate is life threatening.  Than you would have to include all those who get an asthma attack from pollen, dust, plants, animals and anyone with a condition that restricts them in action.  Just because one mother is more persuasive or has better connections than other parents who would benefit from the same treatment, that doesn’t mean she deserves that everyone should follow her instincts and the school should enforce such unrealistic policies?!...
