Educators have said such tools
help them gauge how their students
are doing and identify challenges
they might be experiencing. They al-
so say that building relationships is a
fundamental part of their job.

“Fort Worth ISD parents: we hear
you, and we have created a process
that gives you a greater say in the
district surveys your child takes,”
read a news release announcing the
new process earlier this month.

District leaders did not return re-
quests from The Dallas Morning
News seeking further comment.

Rhithm, created by a Dallas-
based start-up, launched during the
pandemic as a way to assess how stu-
dents are feeling each day. It’s used
by more than 2,400 schools in 29
states, according to its website.

When used, the app allows stu-
dents to select how they are feeling
from several emojis depicting a
range of emotions. However, compa-
ny officials stress on its website that
the app is not a “biopsychosocial” or
mental health assessment and does
not provide diagnostic data.

Rhithm representatives did not
respond to a request for comment.

Lawsuit describes alleged abuse by bar owner

employees. “I could have raped
millions of girls,” he said in the
recording.

“You think you deserve a
medal for that or something?”
Freeman said. “No,” Park re-
plied, “I’m just saying at least I
didn’t go that far ... I stopped.”

In a statement to The News,
Park’s lawyer, Bobby Lee, de-
scribed Freeman’s allegations
as “fiction, as the evidence —
including all the text messages
and other communications —
will ultimately demonstrate.”

Without elaborating, Lee
called the lawsuit “a one-sided
distortion of the facts, and if
anyone digs into [Freeman’s]
past, they will find proof that
she has manipulated people
for financial gain, especially in
her jobs prior to working at
Knockouts.”

“Mr. Park and Knockouts
deny Ms. Freeman’s allega-
tions and look forward to vig-
orously defending themselves
against these claims in court,”
Lee said. “We would love to
provide more information, but
it would not be prudent to do
so at this time.”

Freeman’s lawyer, Camille
Avant, said if her client was as
manipulative as Lee claimed,
“she’s very bad at doing it.”

“She would have a lot more
money today if that was the
case,” said Avant, a partner at
Crawford, Wishnew & Lang.
“Forget what her past is, what
matters is what happened
when she was working with

YESTERDAY’S
ANSWER

B.C. By Mastroianni and Hart

ACES ON BRIDGE

By BOBBY WOLFF
Andrews McMeel Syndication

Declarer did not see the dan-

ger in today’s deal until it was too

late.

West led the heart 10 against

four spades, and declarer put the

king up, thinking it could not

possibly matter what he did.

Predictably, East won and

played two more rounds of BIZARRO By Wayno and Piraro

hearts. Declarer could shed a

diamond loser on the third

round, but a fourth heart lead

forced him to guess in the trump

suit. He chose to ruff with the ace

and then play a trump to the jack

(the percentage play), losing his

game. To add insult to injury,

South went two down when

West scored a diamond ruff,

having shed two cards from that
