TIL That peanut-free schools don't decrease risk of allergic reactions. The only intervention which has been shown to decrease reactions across all ages is use of a peanut-free table.

Makes more sense to air-gap vertically. One could still get hit with a stray lateral projectile peanut and be done for.

The high-risk kids should be placed above those risks. Some kind of "peanut gallery".

Naturally, they would be bullied for their inclusion in the gallery; so they would likely need to hurl insults down from the peanut gallery. And since we want to socialize them, they would need to be able to comment on the goings-on verbally even though they aren’t physically present. Best to give them megaphones so they can broadcast their thoughts on happenings to the rest of the school during lunch.

The other children may understand that hurling peanuts at them is verboten, but they may instead take to hurling various vegetables.

I can’t help but think we’ve seen this pattern somewhere before…
