Elementary school students' composition topics have feelings_The food I miss the most

Once before, I saw my niece in the third and fourth grade of elementary school (because I really forgot whether it was the third or fourth grade) writing school homework, and a composition title was: The food I miss the most

Looking at the concubine who has been looking at the topic but hasn't started writing, I thought about brainstorming with him and helping him think about how to write.

I asked my nephew: Missing this thing usually means that it is not available now, so should you go back to the past when you were growing up in Kaohsiung or Tainan as a child?

Mizu: Oh? It seems so!

Me: When you were in Kaohsiung, was there any food you missed in particular?

Concubine: ......

Me: Look at the example given by the teacher. In fact, these foods are often combined with a certain event or memory. How about we think about some things in Kaohsiung or Tainan that are particularly impressive to you?

Mizuko: Alright!

Me: Then what do you miss in Kaohsiung?

Mizuko: Let the whole family go to E-DA World to play together!

Me: Then what are we going to eat when we go to E-Da World?

Concubine: I like to go to E-Da's Wacheng!

Me: What is your favorite food in Nava City?

Mizu: Of course it's moon cakes!

Me: Then you can write, why you especially like going to E-Da World and eating moon cakes. Is there any connection?

Mizuko: Oh oh ~~ Then I'll think about it again!

So far, I've left the room for my concubine to sway, and not be an elder who gets in the way.

But in the process of this question and answer, I also thought to myself, this topic always felt a little wrong.

After pondering over and over again, my impression is: asking a child who is only about 10 years old to write about the food he misses the most is a bit wrong.

"Missing" this thing, as I mentioned earlier, usually means that it is not often available now, but may have been readily available in one's own life in the past.

But for a child with a very short life experience, he has not experienced too many changes. Like my sister-in-law, she also experienced a life transition from growing up in Kaohsiung and moving to Hsinchu to study in kindergarten. But if a child has grown up in the same place since childhood, is there anything that has disappeared from his existing life?

In addition, as far as food is concerned, for children, his experience with food has not been so long. After all, the dining experience since childhood was limited by the elders, and I didn't have many choices. In addition, he is a young child who is still absorbing and growing up, not an old gourmet who has tried all the gourmet restaurants, or a gourmet who has eaten all over the country.

Therefore, from the point of view of this proposition, I am actually very suspicious of what kind of answer this teacher wants to get from a ten-year-old child. For a middle-aged man like me who is nearly forty years old, this topic may have many feelings and thoughts. However, for elementary school students who are still in the developmental stage and are still accumulating life experience, I don't think it makes much sense.

Maybe it's just a meaningless complaint from an elder, but I still have high expectations for children's education. We, who have experienced cramming education since childhood, hope that today's children can be more creative and imaginative, instead of just following the teacher's instructions. He wrote an eight-part article, which seemed reasonable but didn't have any content of his own thinking.

Maybe the person who asked the question has his own original intention, but I haven't understood it yet! If you have friends from other perspectives, please share!
