role models, role modeling

there is a disconnect in the leadership of the aps.

when they control the conversation, they are quick to point out the obligation that they share with other adults, to model the behavior that they expect students to emulate. they are quick to point out what an outstanding job they are doing in that respect.

in fact there is no evidence what so ever that demonstrates any real commitment to their obligation as role models. when pressed for details, they can only stonewall the question.

why did they remove the following expectation from their own code of conduct?

...in no case shall the standard for adults be lower than the standard for students...

their decision stands in diametric opposition to the concept of leadership by example. how does one simply renounce an inescapable obligation?

anyone who knows anything about leadership and character building, knows that leading by example is the only way to teach children about character.

the standard of conduct for the leadership of the aps is lower than the standard that they enforce upon students. in fact, their record shows that they are not accountable even to the lower standard of conduct.

they are modeling only hypocrisy before 98,000 of our sons and daughters and thousands ofaps employees.

the journal and trib both have reporters that they call "education" reporters. yet neither the journal nor the tribune will investigate and report upon the different standards of conduct for students and adults in the aps. they will not report to the community the truth about role models and role modeling in the aps.

if not at the behest of the leadership of the aps; then why?
