He has a different fish

I don't think so It seems he stayed there and found it embarrassed

@youless Oh poor kid.

You have a good point here. Perhaps he could bring it home and then had a nice dish. It is not a waste

@youless he should proceed to cooking class, if it's alive or not yet dying it should be upright in water

That's for sure

@youless I felt like hugging him.

Exactly. I hated it when things like this happened when my kids were small - I mean, unclear instructions from teachers/school. I would always make it a point to go through the troubles of finding out the right instructions as much as I could hoping my efforts would at least prevent or minimize the possibility my kids would face embarrassment or be in a situation where they would stand out from the other kids unnecessarily.

I had the same bad experience. The school suddenly asked my child to bring a pot of plant next morning. What a terrible night for me to go out to buy the plant

@sishy7 Exactly my point. And then the embarrassed kid gets to be bullied by his classmates because of the unclear instructions.

At least it is still a fish

I think it is likely a misunderstanding

Of course it is alright for him to bring this fish to the kindergarten, but somewhat it is amusing

Perhaps at that time his parents couldn't buy the gold fish nearby. Trust me, I had the similar experience How could I get a gold fish at night after work?

@youless True. The school teacher should have mentioned a week earlier. Anyway, getting a gold fish just for observation is a stupid idea. They might as well get an aquarium in class, and the teacher can teach them to take care of the fishes.

This is a good idea.

So did other children
