Courteous Disagreements

I read with amusement, I think last Friday, about a Sec 2 boy who hurt his pal with a fork in a spat at the school canteen. According to an eyewitness, the culprit with the fork "looked shocked, but he did take both plates and cutlery to the collection point before going to the sick bay" to apologise to his friend.

Hmm... so much for politeness in violence. Wonder what it says about the state of our education system.
