What gives me hope is that it is still possible, as evidenced by your story, to become a smart-ass at an early age. I am reminded of myself - not atop some symbolic tower but rather sitting at my desk - telling my teacher that "Yes, I would like to get up in front of the class and teach because we'd all be having a lot more fun if I were."
However, I don't think that Eamon got grounded for his remark. So long as there's one smart-ass in the crowd, the world will be just fine.
