If less state funds were given to the big city schools then Stratford could hire more security guards so that it's students stop molesting each other.

STRATFORD, Conn. - A member of the Bunnell High School wrestling team in Stratford is charged with sexually assaulting a teammate.
The 16-year-old boy is charged with one count of fourth-degree sexual assault. The boy's name has not been released and he has been released on bond.
Police say the charges are based on an incident last December during a wrestling team practice session at the school.

Yes, and what some smart-a**es fail to realize is that in Stratford, students are not afraid to report things like this. They're not worried that they will end up getting shanked in the hallway at school for "snitching".

Well, Shepherdsvoice, Connecticut is part of New England, which looks a lot like Olde England. Trees, rolling hills, big cities, small towns. We do have the distinction of having the country’s second* highest income per capita, not because everyone is rich**, but because so many bazillionaires live here. The draw is nothing more blameworthy than southwestern Connecticut’s proximity to New York City.
*Washington, DC, is first … someone else can take that on.
**If that were the case, then I’d be rich.

Sorry Darla but Connecticut's wealth goes beyond the many "bazillionaires"that live here. There is also a well-off middleclass here that makes very good money in industries like Aerospace, insurance, financing, manufacturing, etc. The "bazillionaires" help but it goes further than that as well. Jay

They still have to watch their back in the streets of Stratford.
Remember that poor teenager driving his motorized scooter by Wendys last month??? The gangbangers drove up next to him and opened fire.
He is lucky he survived.

I suggest that you pick up a copy of last thursday's Stratford Star.
It's really interesting to read in the police blotter how many Bridgeport residents are being arrested for dealing drugs on Gregory Circle in Stratford.
Where is Gregory Circle you ask??????????
Glad you asked,
Behind Wendy's!!!!!!
Class dismissed.

I almost forgot to ask you, how is that 6yr. old boy that was shot in the street a couple months ago in Bridgeport? Shameful.
