I saw this growing up in the ''80s-'90s, including being eligible myself. We hid it because we were so embarrassed. Sometimes your experience doesn't reflect reality.

It's a good thing. Most of us would be wiped out in a first strike, which is what you want. Drop that thing on my head.

Are you sure that is the reason? If so, I agree that the punishment doesn't fit the infraction. I think there is something more.

Do you have evidence of this? Something like this must go through school administration, and people who are experts in the field.

It is always possible that your kid was in the wrong place at the wrong time. However, the majority of the time, it is the kids. If not your kid directly, the company they keep. You can only find this out if you talk to the educators and adults there. If your kid is not in the wrong, you should all work it out as adults. They will want that.

The second lowest bill we have had in a year. We switched to another provider, but I have become my parents and yell about things being left on. So basically responsible with our electronic usage. Wild how it works.
Best way to get back at them is to minimize your usage.

Reply to Killington, Connecticut parents arrested for letting kids, ages 7 and 9, walk to Dunkin' Donuts by Kodiak01
They should have driven them to DnD with an open container.
The one thing about this state I find strange is how boarded up all the kids are. In NY, our kids were running around the neighborhood all the time. Here, our neighbors are always "worried" that we let our kids out too much. They only interact with other kids at activities, and they miss hanging out in the neighborhood with others.

Everyone who downvotes, this is why we have a teaching shortage.

Or maybe they are kids who need their behavior addressed by their parents; I know that sounds crazy because everyone's child is a precious snowflake.

Have you spoken to your kids about their behavior? Have you spoken to the teachers and administrators about this decision? Have you gone to a school board meeting and made your concerns heard? Just curious. We recently had a similar situation where I live, I asked my kid about it and he admitted that the kids in the situation are extremely disruptive. Two sides to every story.
My impulse is to always talk to the adults first, get their perspective and go from there.

Reply to I-95 in CT ranks as most congested corridor in USA beating out LA; Merritt Parkway also makes top 10 by celticnutjob
Both roads should be part of my commute, but I take back roads instead. The truth is most of that congestion is people driving through the state. It should be a toll road, with an EZ pass system that charges local vehicles little or no money.
I take the train whenever I can. The issue is I am on the Waterbury line. Diesel train, slow as hell, and not even a train every hour. So if you miss the train, you are fucked. For some reason, there is a two-hour gap between 8-10, so it fucks anyone with a local commute. I love the train and would take it more, but it is a hassle. I do it once or twice a week to take a breather from the death race of Route 8.
Certainly enough density around lines down the valley.

As I said in another thread, most people who hate taxes don't understand them and usually live way beyond their means (big car payments, big house payments, a boat). They tend to blame their own poor financial decisions on the state. I am not a fan of the taxes I pay in CT, but I get it. More annoyed by how much of my federal taxes go to other states. Which are usually the ones these people want to be like.

Imagine having the free time and energy to hate something like a "state." Imagine having the free time and energy to get a license plate that expresses that hate. Kinda sad.

Automatic traffic enforcement. Lights, speeding and sound. Driving is a privilege, not a right and so many assholes are killing and injuring people. Cops don’t do enforcement, bring on the robots.

Then have them run on a platform that wants to cut spending on education because taxes are too high, so my mill rate also goes up.

So pay them with tax dollars? Which is our money. So we are still paying for record profits? Makes so (little) sense.
