Fedex has been a black hole for us. Shipments get halfway here then drop into the abyss for weeks at a time.

I've had a 2300lb engine stuck in Eastern NY since the 21st. Vehicle is supposed to be back on the road by April 1st...

Someone pulled his pin at the truck stop

FedEx is the new Swift.

They are completely addicted and cannot stop using them. But parents are also unwilling to restrict them, even when they’re failing classes because they’re sitting on TikTok.

What happened to the child you had a few months ago?

I guess it absolutely positively didn’t have to be there overnight.

a new way to avoid a low bridge on the Merrit?

This will make zero news because she’s a woman. There is beginning to be an awful trend of adult woman getting a slap on the wrist for similar crimes.

Equipment failure I'm hoping. One of my fears when pulling doubles

My neighbor retired from teaching in Torrington and mentioned cell phones being a big issue. A few weeks after talking to her, I read that the students were having a walkout, protesting a new or potentially new cell phone policy.

true but he's not a neck beard which is what I think most people assume

I gotta say I think it depends. I worked with this bastard for a couple years and he 100% seemed like the type. The arrest went down after id left that company but when I saw the news I wasn’t shocked at all. He was aggressive, handsy, demeaning towards the women in the office, tried to encourage similar behavior from the other men in the office, and tried to turn everything into a sexual joke. Yuck

They'll change the weather again and it will be -20° outside next week. I'd wait til the first week of April.

That is not uncommon at all.

Also, a lot of special education costs are increasing for districts which means cuts happen in other areas. More and more kids are needing special education services, including extreme ones like outplacement to alternative schools - which the parent district pays typically pays for in terms of tuition and transportation.

I looked at my district's school budget for 2023 vs 2022 and it looks like most of the budget increase went to the admin versus the teachers (and the teacher numbers were cut a little bit).

This is the kind of stuff I am looking for. Thank you for your response. I don't have children but will start trying to attend my district's board of education meetings to find out if anything is happening like this in my school.

No

Storms might be good in the mountains but they only bring hassle and loss to the cities.

A good friend was a middle school PE teacher in CT for about a decade. During one class last fall, two boys began fist fighting. Both had been in trouble for bullying/physical violence incidents constantly. He put himself between the 2 of them and lightly pushed them back with each arm to separate them until the SRO could get there maybe 30 seconds later…and then of course one of the boys told his mom that the PE teacher pushed him in class, completely leaving out the part about himself fighting. Said PE teacher was given the option of resigning before he would be fired despite being defended by the SRO and several parents.

If schools (really, the ineptitude of admin) have reached this level of ridiculousness, who the hell would ever want to be a teacher?

I’m on that sub, too. CT teachers have it better than many other states (ahem, South) but teaching isn’t without its issues.

Student apathy and lack of parental support strike me as two of the biggest issues I see daily. Also, we are understaffed and no one cares. Our community only wants to slash our budget, so we cannot add staff to accommodate our increasing enrollment.

The cell phones are an enormous issue in any school that doesn’t have a strict no phone policy. And again, we rarely see parental support on that front. Half the time it’s the parents texting during class. 😑

i guess lol. I don't even know what type of answer I was expecting when I asked my question

Luke’s, Avon.

Gerry’s, Ellington

I get the sense you make your own life hard. Well, you do you.

Ohhhhhhhhhh, I'm angry? Well shoot.

Thanks for putting me in my place. Great job! A+
