To quadruplets, school feels like home
Four Okeene students can call their English teacher ‘Mom'

Each has three siblings in English class, and their mother is the teacher.

Michael said he's known this was coming for a couple of years.

Jamie expected the experience to be fun but different.

Shelby said her friends think her mom is cool, so she's looked forward to this year.

"I've been waiting for her to be my teacher for as long as I can remember,” Scott said. "It's good if I have homework, (because) she can really help me.

"It's bad because she knows everything that goes on.”

The biggest question going into the school year was whether they would call her Mrs. D., as the other students do, or Mom.

"I try to call her Mrs. D, but sometimes I have to correct myself when I say Mom,” Shelby said. "I'm getting used to calling her that in class.”
