walang disiplina yung bata bakit ayaw nya sundin patakaran ng school, kung bawal ang spoon huag sya magbaon ng may sabaw

I agree.

If the school's policy is to eat with knife and fork, then it's all a matter of obeying the rules. This has nothing to do with racism or descrimination. Just my two cents.

School that bans spoons? Baka diyan din nag-aral yung mga parak na humuli saking for my 'rope that was too long'! hahahaha.

Mahirap ata maniwalang a school administrator would go to such lengths to actually prescribe what utensils their students should use while eating. Ang tagal na ng issue na ito wala naman maipakitang explicitly written rules ang school.

I'm not against Canadians. Almost all my relatives have migrated there. And yes, I use spoon and fork when eating there as long as these utensils are available.

If it's just a matter of utensils, then it all the more hows how petty the school was in disciplining the child. It may have nothing to do with racism and discrimination, but it does have everything to do with ignorance.

Heck, I sometimes use a knife in lieu of a fork to pick up meat on my plate, whenever I feel like doing so. And I have yet to hear anyone complain, mainly on account of the knife in my hand.

1. Kung may patakaran talagang ganun yung school, dapat nilang sundin. Kung sa tingin nila natatapakan ang karapatan at pagkatao nila, ilipat nalang yung bata para wala ng problema.

2. Pwede rin na hindi tolerant sa mga immigrants yung area. Hindi mo naman sila masisi kasi immigrants eat into the host country's resources. Kumbaga sila ang nagdecide na umalis sa bansa nila, so dapat matuto silang makibagay sa bansang nilipatan nila.

Opinyon lang ho. :D
