Do you think that children should be encouraged to stab eachother in the faces with pencils? If your child ever falls victim to a bully are you going to hand him/her a pencil and tell them to "make you proud"? Do you trust children to know when a pencil shiv in the face is the right course of action? How is a child to know whether to stab in the face or the throat? What if he had stabbed this other kid in the throat, hit the jugular, and killed him? Would he still be your hero? Would the bully still deserve it and if so, could you tell the dead bully's parents that their child deserved to die?

I wouldn't tell him to stab someone, but I would definitely tell him to kick some ass. Sitting there and taking it is senseless.
Alright, so ya don't know what he should have done. Then why is this a debate? If ya think he shouldn't have stabbed the other kid, then what should he have done? Self defense is the answer. I don't see how anyone could be against self defense in a case like this.
