Does it make sense to give out fish as rewards at the end of the primary school term in Guangxi?

On August 2, 2020, Jiangchuan Primary School in Guyi Town, Sanjiang Dong Autonomous County, Liuzhou City, Guangxi Province rewarded more than 200 students with a live fish weighing about 2 kilograms each. This practice has also attracted a lot of discussion. Is it really meaningful to give fish as a reward to children? I think it is meaningful, and I will explain why I think it is meaningful from the following aspects.

First, in the eyes of children, fish is an honor, not a simple ingredient. After reading this news, most people may think that fish is too cheap. Do children need fish? But in the eyes of these simple children, there is no difference between these fish and those trophies and medals. These are all recognition of their achievements, and these are their honors. Therefore, they will not dislike them because the prize is a fish, but they may cherish the honor they receive due to their own strength. Therefore, we cannot use our thoughts to judge the honors and awards in the eyes of children. In the children's minds, these fish are their honor, not just simple ingredients. So, using fish as a reward for kids is a great idea and makes sense.

Second point, using fish as a reward for children can allow for better interaction between the school and parents, and also allows for better interaction between children and parents. If it is a simple certificate or trophy as a reward, parents may just give verbal praise and not feel much sense of honor. When a child brings a fish home, parents need to process the fish and finally make the fish into a delicious dish. This process allows parents to better feel the honors their children have received and allows parents to better understand the school's ideas. At the same time, during the process of handling fish and cooking, parents and children will also increase a lot of interaction, which can make the relationship between children and parents closer. Therefore, using fish as a reward for children can not only increase the connection between the school and parents, but also effectively promote the interaction between parents and children.
