Classroom discipline
This story (MRJ, by Amanda Falcone) provides background on a theme (difficulty enforcing discipline in the classroom) that I've heard from teachers everywhere... both in Cheshire and around the country.
The article notes that, in Meriden, the issue relates back to "Connecticut’s 2002 P.J. settlement of a student’s lawsuit against the state education department" said Thomas Bruenn, president of the Meriden Federation of Teachers. He continued on "School systems need to find a way to better carry out the mandates of the decision."
Note: I've never spoken with anyone in Cheshire who linked the "P.J. settlement" to classroom discipline. And I don't want to imply that.
