Attacking people and using violence to force his way into private propery makes him pretty crappy as someone who is supposed to uphold justice.  I mean, seriously, that's awful.  Let's say he stabbed the guy.  Would that really have solved anything?  I can't imagine that it would have helped the situation a whole lot.  "I just stabbed one of your employees because I think it's terrible that you don't send your daughter to school!"

To be fair, the knight he attacks flat out tells him that what he was doing was not as a knight. I mean, the anime didn't condone his actions by any means, and he walks out of the office knowing he just messed up pretty badly. I think the show did a decent job covering the immaturity of his character despite holding the title of knight.

That's basically what I said--"And what's with a "white knight" resorting to violence like that?"  I don't think anything you've said invalidates my criticism of his actions.

I also don't believe he walked out of the office thinking he was wrong.  He was still arguing with the maid after that.  Her words might have made him think but we don't know that.  In fact, I'm guessing he won't understand until next episode.  I bet he even says, "I didn't realize ..."

The thing is, you're criticizing character development, which I find odd. It was an opportunity to weigh his claims against his actions, highlighting the fact that despite his title, he is still basically a kid with a lot to learn. Sure, it seems out of character at first, until you realize his character is still being actively developed and that he isn't just a one dimensional white knight.

I concede the second part though to a certain degree. I'm sure by next episode, as you said, he will either realize what he did wrong as a knight either at a crucial moment, or he'll say something like "when I fought so-and-so and was easily defeated, I realized..." etc., because what is an anime like this without some predictable character development.
