What I’m saying is that extreme and strange measures might be required in the ghettos of Chicago.
I realize it was a 17-year-old who was paddled severly for not doing volleyball serves properly. I realize this this probably isn’t the right way. I also realize that I don’t know what the answer is for an environment where all but the most spartan dicsipline has broken down, and am not ready to discount corporal coercion as a possible part of a solution.
Hopefully the main idea wasn’t to get better volleyball serves but to get a very disciplined young man who would be a success in life despite growing up in a ghetto.
