I don't think kids should learn to use cutlery at such early age, not without proper ethics training. Cutlery gives you a lot of power. The power to do both good and evil. Children just don't have that kind of judgement.
If you teach a kid to eat with a knife and fork and they end up stabbing someone, who is going to take responsibility? Does the kid get tried as an adult or juvenile?
- lightblade 12y agoOh, but we have proper ethics training for using cutlery. It's called table manner. > Table manners are the rules of etiquette used while eating, which may also include the appropriate use of utensils. > - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_manners http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_manners Now the stabbing part, there are many court cases of these. I can't cite specifics, but I'm sure you can find them.
