Finally, when I began passing our snack, she reached into her bag and handed him those peanut butter filled crackers. My classroom had a strict “NO peanut butter” rule and thankfully the little girl that was allergic wasn’t there that day, but I informed mom that we didn’t allow outside snacks that contained peanut butter, and that he would not be able to eat it in class. That’s when she fully lost it. She told me that I was a tyrant and strict teacher that had too many rules and didn’t allow her son to express himself or his wants and that I couldn’t starve him (I gave him our veggie straws and carrots to eat that he refused after seeing the crackers), and that she would call licensing on me for how to mean I was. I have what I think is a particularly amusing and pertinent answer for this question, and especially so since I hold a U.S. passport, and can only claim to be an “honorary Canadian” (which is an immense compliment, by the way!). I was already aware, from his mother, that he had been physically and sexually abused by his father.
