BS on the "roughhousing" boys-will-be-boys bullshit. You don't allow any kid to go unpunished when he reacts with violence to a verbal assault - that doesn't just "resolve itself."
The essay means he has to sit there and think about what he did and put it all into words - even if he doesn't remember it for a lifetime, kids are so ADD, 5 minutes is an eternity of thought. And so what if it is <i>another</i> essay? This one is a type of confession to his parents and if he respects them, he will feel some shame in the admission of guilt.
