This was an article about a young Filipino boy in Montreal that was eating his lunch with a spoon and a fork. And for a couple of times he was punished by the lunch monitor for doing so. And now this boy does not want to eat at school with his spoon and fork. And when the mom found out she was shocked and went to the school principal. Who shared the lunch monitors stand that it was wrong in eating with the spoon and fork.
According to the article. The lunch principal said something like "Madame, you are in Canada. Here in Canada you should eat the way Canadians eat." He also said "I don’t necessarily want students to eat with one hand or with only one instrument, I want them to eat intelligently at the table," he said. "I want them to eat correctly with respect for others who are eating with them. That’s all I ask. Personally, I don’t have any problems with it, but it is not the way you see people eat every day. I have never seen somebody eat with a spoon and a fork at the same time."
So this is what i ask. Eating with a spoon and a fork is not intelligent? Are people really disrespected when others eat with a spoon and a fork?
I have eaten with a spoon and a fork during lunch. And my officemates have not said anything thatI have disrespected them or something. So I really do not know why the principal said such a thing.
I have asked some friends of mine to comment on this article as well. Here is one comment that i got from a friend of mine. Who studied in cultural anthropology in the University. And here is what she has to say about the artice.
And when I get more I will post them up. If you would like to be heard. pls feel free to send me an mp3 of your comment and i will post them up. And there has been a lot of comments on that web page. So i think there are a lot of interested parties.

Lighter News
I have 2 announcements this time. First, for those that were following my offline blog about the Times Colonist 10k. It happened last Sunday, I did it again. Last year I finished at 1:41:16 and this year i did it at 1:19:19. An improvement of about 21 minutes. Not bad. Thanks to my 3 days of training. It did help a lot. Thanks to my coach. Dave Kelsy who did it at 57:54. You can find the results at :http://pih.bc.ca/results/tc/tc.php
So the big question for me is this. Will I be doing it this next year? I don't know. My Back and feet are still aching to think about it.
Another news is that finally we will be taking our oath to be a Canadian Citizen. This will be happening on May 16.
