"I teach most of my lesson theories while we‘re working. Kids have to be met on a level basis and [ find I can teach the kids better one on one," said Milne. "You can teach someone how to cut cartots on a blackboard for a month or five minutes with a knife and cutting board." This includes learning health regulations. Elizabeth Witmer, chairman of the Waterloo County board of education, said the board is committed to this practical "hands on" educaâ€" tion, which closely relates to coâ€"op programs. "A lot of our students are going to end up in the food services field because of the tremendous opporâ€" tumties there." Granted students are learning proper kitchen etiquette; they are learning how to prepare foods and serve it, but, as importantly, they are learning a work ethic that can be applied to any job. said Milne Classroom theory is not textbook style. Instrucâ€" tor Manfred Jakob does daily reviews with his students, but the bulk of the theory stems from practical application Department head, Murray Milne, feels comfortâ€" able in the quiet chaos, where he has worked for the last 20 years. Working alongside him in the kitchen are two other chefs and an assistant. bakery as Prevost and fellow student Chris Dubrick, who recently won a scholarship from George Brown College after topping the entries at a competition in Toronto. Others like the pace and pandemonium of the short order kitchen, while others feel more comfortable doing prep, or serving in the staff room or cafeteria.

There‘s a satisfying feeling, added Milne, when he sees autistic children and orthopaedic students working alongside other students. There‘s another aspect to this. "It‘s neat when these kids get recognized. It‘s neat when they send something to another school because they know it‘s something people have to come to us for because they can‘t do it." "They meet with success, and by trying each and every day they will be successful. We think that follows through with their work career whether that‘s stamping out prints at Budds (Automotive) or working at Mother‘s (restauâ€" rant)," said Milne. As well, food provides the outlet for everyone to participate and offers the chances for success. And success is defined by individual accomplishâ€" ments. For some that may be chopping onions, while for others, like Dubrick or Shelly McIntyre, success is tying for fourth at a provincial bakeâ€"off. Food is tangible and malleable. and the knives, machines and paraparnali@ that goes with it, require care and attention. Food is something that everyone needs and most enjoy. And students are taught that "people eat first with their eyes, and if they don‘t like what they see, they won‘t try it." Cleanliness, following deadlines, working with others, completing tasks all go into making up the fiveâ€"dayâ€"aâ€"week kitchen environment. Food, explained Milne is the vehicle for learning â€" and it works well.
