Kids fight with pencils

PENCILS AS WEAPONS. Two elementary pupils in South Korea fought a bloody fight, according to a TV report. The pupils fought with well-sharpened pencils as weapons. One of the protagonists was stabbed below the right eye, the other was injured on the neck. The incident resulted in the banning of wooden pencils “sharply sharpened.”

REMINDER. The retired police officer who passed this item on the The Ear said he hoped this would be an eye-opener for teachers and parents of primary school kids here. “Maayong dili kaayo haiton ang pagtahal sa lapis nga mahimo’g ‘deadly weapon’ sa mga bata,” the said ex-police officer said.
