Ok, but you admit there are more important things than just keeping the kid in line, right?. The stereotypical abusive father keeps his children in fear, he may love them, and in some cases they may either know that now or later as an adult realize it, but that doesn't fix everything. Or what about kids who behave perfectly, but their parents are dim-wits, they go to school and do well, but they are still missing something.
Now Bubba who doesnt behave, and who you believe will never change / is on a bad path in a life / inherently bad / not able to be taught martial arts, the only way to fix him, is to to put fear in him?
Let's say he's no longer the strongest guy, he had a growth stunt, but he's still acting out, and now kids are beating on him, does this fix the problem now that he knows who's boss? Is he "good enough" to be taught martial arts now?
You treat the kid like he's a bad apple or something.
