The State Finally Noticed The “Blue Room” and it Only Took Five Years and A Very Patient Raynham Mom

There’s a room at Raynham Elementary that a mother described to her own school committee as “a closet off an empty classroom.” Her son was put in it more than 250 times over two years. That’s not a typo, and it’s not a one-off. Do the math on 25-plus hours in solitary confinement and you get a kid who spent the equivalent of a full work week of his childhood behind a door in a room with no windows, no name on the schedule, and — this is the part that should make you put your coffee down — no requirement that anyone tell his parents it was happening.

Round One: Patio Furniture Wars: Sold Over Asking, Sold Over it

A fun way to look at the data:

“Ten South Shore towns. Three real data points. Zero mercy. 🪑⚔️

We turned your neighbor’s patio into a Hunger Games arena — Hingham’s out here paying LESS in taxes than towns worth a third as much, Cohasset’s bidding wars nearly doubled overnight, and Hanover showed up to the fight without a single verifiable stat (couldn’t make this up if we tried).

Ten Districts. One folding chair of glory. Round One is live — link in bio before your town’s Facebook group finds out where it ranked.

Who’s your pick to win it all? 👇”
