Did APS Superintendent Linda Sink "Lie"

"A half truth is a whole lie." unk

Linda Sink said,

“APS has had great success with Character Counts!”

Is the statement the truth? candid, forthright and honest?
Is it even half the truth?

I would maintain that in a school district where
there is not a single administrator or board member
who will pledge allegiance to the Pillars of Character Counts!

even though it is being represented as the student standard of conduct,

has failed so miserably with Character Counts! that there is nothing that balances it, much less surpasses it, and would justify a statement that implies, district wide, “APS has had great success with Character Counts!”.

Their abdication as role models of the Pillars of Character Counts!; including the abdication of the President of the Character Counts! Leadership Council herself

is such an egregious betrayal of the principles of Character Counts!

that Linda Sink cannot honestly say “APS has had great success with Character Counts!”

And she has lied to stakeholders.

Taking national Character Counts! staff to schools which do not fairly, accurately, and honestly represent the presence of CC in any school except a very few and exceptional schools, is deceitful.



Linda Sink, and the leadership of the APS, could respond to this allegation. They have Monica Armenta, and a million dollars worth of spin doctors, and Carole Smith, APS' Character Counts Director, to gather every success story that has been accomplished district wide.

Let them all work together to assemble the positive side of the ledger; and then place it along with the statement; “APS has had great success with Character Counts!”

On the other side, let them admit that there is no administrator or board member in the entire APS that can claim to be honestly accountable to the Pillars of Character Counts!, the student standard of conduct; and that they have, one and all, abdicated from their responsibilities as role models of the student standard of conduct.

Let stakeholders view them side by side and
determine for themselves whether or not

Linda Sink lied.



The greatest success that (the leadership of) the APS
can point to; is that they managed to except themselves
from accountability to the student standard of conduct
(and the law) without stakeholders finding out.

A tip of the hat for that ,goes to Thomas J Lang,
Kent Walz,Phill Casaus, Michelle Donaldson,
Sue Stephens, Thomas Pearl
and their ilk, for their help in the cover up.
