Underwater Battles

Boy brought home some completed work from school this afternoon and one of papers was about Rainbow Fish.  Now if I remember correctly, Rainbow Fish is the story about this jerk of a fish who is taught how to be a nice fish by the all the other fish through different problem-solving techniques (this is grade 1). 

 The assignment was to imagine oneself as one of the other fish and tell something nice about Rainbow Fish and a provide a suggestion to RF on how to be a nicer, kinder fish.  The teacher started the sentence...

If I were one of the other fish, I would:

Boy wrote:  challenge Rainbow Fish to a battle.  You have fancy weapons and a crown.  (This, of course, was all phonetically spelled out and had to be translated)

The teacher added a hand-written comment: I don't think battling with weapons is a good way to solve problems.

No, I don't suppose it is but he did compliment Rainbow Fish on his fancy weapons. 

Perhaps she could take this insight to UN and sort them all out.
