DPM Teo & Pre-U Student

My 2-cents worth of opinion- Normally when we ask questions, we expect a direct answer. A coach or mentor will not give the solution but throw leading questions that will allow the questioner to seek his own answer. In this case, the setting may not have been appropriate.

We don't know exactly how DPM Teo asked the question, but the students expected a direct answer. That is partially a fault of our education system, where we are so used to being spoon fed all the answers. The other problem is that the audience might laugh if the answers to the questions are wrong, and this may also put off the questioner.

Whatever the situation, the student has no right to throw vulgarities at an elder.
