A new problem arises in schools and kindergartens on the occasion of religion, today we mention the case of the Ralet Ralet nursery in Badalona (Barcelona), where lThe parents of a Pakistani girl do not take her to the center on the days when there is pork on the menu to eat.
We do not know if this type of case has occurred in many nurseries or schools, but it would not be surprising given the amount of immigration in our country. So, what should be done? A special menu for those who cannot eat certain foods because of their religion? Let's not forget the amount of problems that children have to fight with celiac disease or diabetes, for example, in this case it is a disease that, if not receiving a proper diet, could lead to a great risk to the health of children, and still, they have had and still have their difficulties in some schools to receive a customized menu.
The fact is that this Pakistani girl has missed the nursery twice, one of them was because there was pork on the menu, as we have already said, so the little girl stayed at home in the care of her eleven-year-old brother, reason whereby he could not go to school either. Perhaps it is a bit of a lack of desire to solve the problems on the part of the parents, isn't it? They are disfavoring the education of their son by two bands, as it would be easier, before other solutions are found, to prepare him for the Small the food and they will take it in a tupper. Come on, that is one of the thousands of solutions that any mother would give to her children before leaving them at home without the care of an elder and lacking in compulsory education (in this case of the child, since daycare is voluntary), unless Who wants to raise the social alarm.
As always when these issues are touched, they are very complicated, so for now, the Badalona City Council will seek a solution “if possible and without any extra cost”.
In Spain we are good, some say that fools, we open the doors to those who come to work, to move their families forward, to study, etc. But everyone who comes to our country should know that we have our culture, just as if we travel to other countries we have to integrate and accommodate theirs. This implies all services, surely they will not go to eat at a fast food because what they provide they cannot eat, while in the nursery the parents are aware at the time of enrollment, what they will offer to the little ones In its center, both in education and food, and so did the town hall of this Catalan population, issued a statement at the beginning of the course to all families who take their children to kindergartens letting them know that different menus would not be made "derived of habits or family consumption. "
The issues to take into account to draw a conclusion are many, but the main thing could be the creation of a campaign that promotes (for all) goodwill and mutual respect for optimal coexistence.
