Student Killed

A kid has been shot to death.

I am compelled to point out;

• If students in the APS were held accountable to the Pillars of Character Counts;

• if the District was really promoting and modeling the Pillars of Character Counts;

• if the leadership of the APS had not abdicated their responsibilities as role models for students, of the Pillars of Character Counts;

It would be more likely that students would be good citizens; respectful, responsible, caring, fair and trustworthy.

It would be considerably less likely that they would be out throwing golf balls at strangers;

and there would one less dead kid.

They could not be more responsible except that the murder took place on school ground.



The issue of modeling and promoting the Pillars of Character Counts; is not an unimportant issue.

It may very well be the most important issue of all.
