		<description>There has always been and will always be some degree of bat shit insane authoritarianism ruling the day. But you&#039;ll find that at private schools too, which I would find even more maddening, especially when writing that check every year.

I suck at dodge ball.</description>

		<description>Sounds fun! In my neighborhood (Shrewsbury St 1970&#039;s), we played dodge rocks. Let&#039;s play. Any Tuesday night at the Common should be best. Say 7ish?</description>

		<description>Don&#039;t you need a wall for a dodgeball game? Or are you going to play that version with teams and a midline? I always thought that was a sort of softer version of it; at least I was always better at it.

Anyway, where&#039;s the wall on the Common? And can we invite the City Council? I&#039;ll bet you could sell tickets to that!</description>

		<description>My entire second grade class was threatened with detention for drawing pictures of complex Rube Goldberg-esque &quot;bombs&quot; on the back of pen pal letters we were forced to write every month.

Instead, we were ordered to draw &quot;happy things.&quot;

Seriously, I&#039;ve always viewed that moment as the beginning of the PC Movement in Connecticut, for many reasons.  The whole year before, we had been applauded for our creativity; in one split second, we were told we were the same as that bitch who got in trouble for stealing my lunch money.

And cell phones?  I was screamed at by an administrator at my high school during graduation rehearsal in 2000 for talking on a cell.  In an empty school.
