APS school board policy requires that children be taught that their character counts. Board policy requires teachers to teach students that their character is important and worthy of protection even at some sacrifice.
Students are taught; if you are a public servant and you have in your possession public records; and if you are a public servant of character, you will surrender to public knowledge more documents than the law requires; and you will keep secret, fewer records than the law allows.
In particular, if you are a public servant of character; you will surrender even those records of your own incompetence or corruption.
Yet by our example;
We teach children that self exception from accountability is an accoutrement of power. If you are powerful enough, you can ignore any rule; even the law.
Upton Sinclair pointed out that; we should not be so worried that our children are not listening to us; as we should be worried that they are watching us.
Go APS leadership (senior role models for 99,000 kids).
go Darren White (senior role model for the BCSO).
go Kari Brandenburg (senior role model for law enforcement).
go local "news".
Go y'all.

The willingness to do more than the law requires, and less than the law allows

And yet, teachers are also held to student standards!
For example, If a student or teacher gets a dWI, it's supposed to be reported to the school or APS.
When a certain superintendent allegedly got a DWI (or perhaps more than 1), she had it allegedly swept away by an APS APD high-ho that she later tries to fore.
Irony? An example of good and bad.
Privelege for the "upper class".. yep, definetly.
I have to chickle at the snakes biting each other's asses over all this now.
