There was more of a scare than harm

Clark also remembers the day his bus fell off a bridge into the local river on his way to school, which was pretty bad luck. So Clark single-handedly pushed the bus out of the water, saving his entire class and the driver from a gruesome end. That same night, Papa Kent yelled at him, explaining that damn it, you have to hide your powers, people get scared! And insists that, yes, he should have let his entire class die. But other than that, he encourages Kent to do good.
" You understand, Clark? Doing good is cool, but it's very secondary to what people think special lead of you.
– You mean I can let people die if I have a good communications team?
– You just summarized 50 years of the history of the United States presidency, my bunny .

I'm not making this up: Papa Kent clearly explains that he should have let his class die rather than giving them a big scare. I'd be curious to know how this guy uses the expression " ." In any case, this motivates Papa Kent to take his son to the cellar, not to hit him with a shovel, but to show him something: the ship he found him in. " Yes, son, now that you've been freaking out for a few years about why you have supernatural powers, I wanted to tell you that, in fact, you were an alien and that you were found in this capsule one morning in a field. And I'm sure that your capsule is alien, because I found elements in it that aren't even classified on the periodic table, which is fine. Because yes, even though I'm a farmer, I calmly explain that I do this kind of analysis with ease." And even though logic would dictate that a baby in a capsule is very similar to a child placed in a lifeboat during some misfortune, I'm going to tell you over and over again, even though I have no way of knowing, that if your parents sent you there, it's because they had a purpose for you, not just to save your ass. Oh, and I found some kind of key in the shuttle: I'll give it to you .
