I anchor NBC4 at 6,7,and 11,and host the weekly political program “The Sunday Briefing.” Asking relevant questions to people who should have honest answers.
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.

@grumpypuggy@nbc4i Financial critics of STRS claim they outperform on this summary based on a monthly report that does not account for expenses/liabilities. Actual/audited numbers are very different. Economist Dr. Fichtenbaum has written on it as have others. https://t.co/0MHgtXY2lw

Hall of Famers! 🏆
It's truly an honor to call them colleagues and friends, and now both @ColleenNBC4 & @BenGelberNBC4 are taking their rightful place among the most accomplished journalists in Ohio history. They've combined for nearly 85 years of service!
@ColleenNBC4 watching #SurvivingOhioState in the UK (Rotherham, where we have our own similar problems)
The number of affected survivors is astounding
Great coverage
