Teacher: “You scored 42%. There’s nothing to argue about.”
My younger sister came home from school in tears, holding her mathematics result.
Sister: “I know I did better than this. I checked every answer before submitting.”
Mom: “Maybe you made mistakes you didn’t notice.”
Sister: “Mom, I got 86% in the last test. I studied harder for this one.”
The next morning, I accompanied her to school to ask the teacher to review the paper.
Teacher: “Your sister isn’t the only student who thinks she deserves a higher score.”
Me: “We’re not asking you to increase her marks. We just want to see where she lost them.”
He reluctantly brought out her answer sheet.
As I went through it, I noticed something strange. Several correct answers had been marked wrong, even though the teacher’s own corrections matched what my sister had written.
Me: “Sir, can you explain this question? Her answer is correct.”
He took the paper from me.
Teacher: “I said the result stands.”
My sister started crying again.
Then another student waiting outside the classroom stepped forward.
Student: “Sir, please check mine too. I think the same thing happened to me.”
The teacher’s face changed.

Thank you,@SandyTheis, but I want to thank the men who were brave enough to share really difficult stories of assault and institutional indifference. #NBC4 #HBODocumentaries
Let’s all thank Colleen Marshall for helping expose this predator and those who enabled him @ColleenNBC4

Much thanks to @Aportzline who also covered the troubling saga of OSU’s Dr. Strauss - as he does here with the heartbreaking story of Al Novakowski, one of the men featured in the HBO documentary.
Much respect to actor/director George Clooney for making this film.
And much respect to @ColleenNBC4 Colleen Marshall, who covered this story more than anybody else in Columbus.
Here's our story on Novakowski from Dec. 2020: nytimes.com/athletic/2251280…

Proud to say I am the mother-in-law of a firefighter/paramedic. They get all kinds of strange calls, but this one had a happy ending.#thankyouforyourservice
"When you're a firefighter, you have no idea what's coming that day."
So true, @JerodNBC4 & @ColleenNBC4.
But @ColsFire stays ready to serve residents of all shapes and sizes- fowl, furry, and of course our friends and family.

SUPCO finds nitrogen is not toxic after it kills a man. The attorney for the victim’s widow says he is disgusted that Ohio’s highest court values industry over people.

Hey @marcschare kind to stand up for billionaires but ‘21 White House study shows wealthiest 400 billionaires paid a tax of 8.2%. Avg.American that yr. paid 13%. ProPublica found 25 richest people paid 3.4% from 2014-18 due to loopholes. Research is important and facts matter.
Hey @ColleenNBC4, why did you repeatedly claim that the top 1% don’t pay their taxes. The top 1% earn 22% of the income and pay 41% of all federal income taxes. It’s just a lie to say they don’t pay taxes.

Why is grief amplified during the holiday season? @BobNBC4 was kind, fun, and such a good person. We shared a love for senior, disabled dogs. Our NBC4family will miss him. Light your candles, we are not promised tomorrow,

Best of luck to a great journalist who did what we should all strive to do: speak truth to power, get the facts straight, tell people what they need to know. Enjoy retirement @darreldrowland - you’ve earned it!
ICYMI: A bit of personal news…
After a career approaching 48 years, I am retiring Wednesday from full-time journalism.
It’s appropriate this comes just before Thanksgiving, b/c I have so much to be grateful for…including coworkers who guided & helped me every step of the way

I am humbled and honored to be recognized by @ColumbusCouncil. Thank you @SG_Hardin for making me feel so special and the entire council for the very kind words.
Trusted voices matter more than ever in this era of misinformation.
That's why @ColumbusCouncil recognized @nbc4i @ColleenNBC4 tonight.
Thank you for being a trailblazer, truth teller, and the conscience of our City - especially when holding accountable those of us who lead it.

I am glad @Coachjayryan asked these questions. NO and NO! Under the Fair Use Doctrine, candidates can cherry pick segments from news reports without permission or notice. TV stations and reporters can’t stop it. Both parties do it and it confuses viewers and voters. #MakeItStop
@ColleenNBC4
In the ad for @SenSherrodBrown that attacks @berniemoreno, did they get your permission to use your NIL? Were you compensated?

The best part of Whitney’s screaming dash out of the makeup room? I was talking to her, had no idea what had happened but I screamed and ran too. Need blind support during your panic? I’m your girl. #Divas
Well, we may not have had a diva performance at the DNC tonight, but my entire newsroom got one after our show when I walked into the makeup room and there was a cockroach in the sink. Yep, when forced I still have a solid vertical and 40-yard-dash.

THANK YOU DISPATCH!
NBC4’s @IsabelCleary relentlessly digs for truths,and first revealed the scope of the cyber breach - in the face of conflicting information from the City and even as others reported false information. Thanks Dispatch for making note of her good work. #NBC4
