I read your article “Parents: Odessa students mistreated.” You misrepresented my role at the board meeting. Your article states, “A lone teacher spoke in support of the district,” when I specifically said, multiple times, that I was speaking as a parent, not a teacher. The article’s use of the word “lone” and the misrepresentation of my role at the meeting give my presence and support I offered less value than it deserves. While I cannot tell you which diction to choose when writing a non-biased article, I can remind you th...
I attended the Odessa school board meeting on March 22. I am an alum of Odessa schools and a teacher. Professionally speaking, I cannot fathom allowing my students to be harmed. Educators’ responsibility to student safety and respect supersedes any other. At times, classroom behaviors require sternness, but never screaming, putting your hands on a student, or demeaning them.

Mark Dale Kuest Dec. 9, 1963 - March 19, 2023 We were lucky enough to learn countless lessons from Mark in his nearly 60 years of life, including this pearl of wisdom: "If it hurts when you do that, don't do that" and many others.

Easter and hot cross buns seem to go together. They are often on the menu for Easter breakfast or dinner.

Originally the cross was made on the buns with a paste of...
