They weren’t disciplined as children, so you shouldn’t be surprised by this behavior from ‘adults’. Many are like this in New England...adults that act like five year-olds are quite common.
This is just one more indication of how far NH has fallen from its once great, conservative positions.
Our local high school, located in a VERY up-scale town just outside of Manchester, during a Parent information night - we had a relatively new teacher state that her theory of teaching was that she had ‘as much if not more to learn from her students than she had to teach them’ and ran her classroom accordingly. I couldn’t understand why she was getting paid let alone given a graduate degree in education if that was even remotely true. BTW, she’s still ‘teaching’.
