Splinter is Kind of a Jerk (and an idiot)

Well, how about you teach them how to use them before throwing them into the frying pan

I fully agree with you on this.

What did strike to me as odd was that if the turtles are learning the art of ninjutsu from Splinter, doesn't ninjutsu include at least bojutsu and kenjutsu as a "must" in the training program. The sais and nunchucks are optional, but they all should be able to fight well with Donnie's Bo and at least so-so with Leo's katanas.

Of course, I can't say anything for certain about Splinter's teaching style. Just wondering.
