There is this thing called an EpiPen... takes just one time and the kids will learn to avoid peanuts in other kids lunch or snacks no matter what the setting.
Put them in a bubble all through school, they won't learn to be careful. First thing that will happen when they start work or college is an accidental exposure.
Our oldest has been taught to not share lunches, and always read the label. Her school also has a nut free table for people with allergies. I was more concerned when she was younger, worried if a class mate had peanut butter, didn't wash their hands and then played with something, that my daughter would come in contact with. (Her allergy is severe enough that her face exploded in hives without actual contact, just having it in front of her face). However now that she is older I don't worry as much. As for school cafeteria, I don't consider that any different than a mall food court and realize she can never be 100% safe.
