Really? I guess it must be different from elementary school, when I went elementary school in Korea I have never seen any kid using chopstick to eat rice. I don't like to use chopstick for rice, since it's hard to clean up all the rice that is sticked in the bowl and I use chopstick only for the side dishes.

In general, chopsticks are used when it comes to rice bowls. Spoons are used with a plate (curry rice comes to mind).

So only time they would use spoon for rice are for something like Curry, but now I think thought of another question. Do most Japanese eat rice that is sticky or dried?
