In the APS, "Trix are for kids."

Apparently so are the Pillars of Character Counts.

There is not one single senior administrator or board member
in the entire APS, who is willing to hold themselves honestly
accountable as a role model of the Pillars of Character Counts;

the student standard of conduct.


Not even the

President of the APS Character Counts Leadership Council,
and the President of the APS Board of Education,
the senior most public servant;
and the senior most role model in the APS,

Paula Maes.



Which begs the question;
are we expecting too much from kids,
or are we expecting too little from the leadership of the APS?


If the Pillars of Character Counts
are too high a standard of conduct and competence for

• Paula Maes,
• Beth Everitt,
• Linda Sink,
• Tom Savage,
• Gil Lovato,
• Darrel Harrel
  
• Michael Vigil,
  
• Brad Allison,
• and every other administrator and board member
  

why is it still the standard of conduct for students?


... oh yeah, it isn't.

The leadership of the APS recently rewrote
the student standard of conduct.

Students had been required to model and promote
the Pillars of Character Counts for more than a decade.

They no longer are;

by the deliberate, and considered, and secret decision
of the leadership of the APS.
