South Park clip on Ritalin

This episode of south park (season 4 episode 4) is discussing issues around the use of Ritalin on kids. I find this clip interesting because the character chef mentions hitting kids rather then giving them drugs. I think this illustrates a comparison of the two and shows a constant effort to find methods to exert discipline in school. I may do a review on this episode as it has many interesting concepts surrounding sociology of education.
