Paula Maes is responsible.

Paula Maes casts a big shadow.

She is the President of the APS Board of Education,
the President of the Character Counts Leadership Council
the President and Chief Executive Officer
of the New Mexico Broadcasters Association, and
she is married to the President of the Modrall*.

(*a law firm that has made millions of tax dollars
litigating exception to the law for APS senior administrators
and board members )


She is responsible for all of the corruption and incompetence that interferes with the education of 89,000 of this community's sons and daughters.

And not in some noble or gallant the buck stop here,
kind of a way.

She is responsible by the following logic;

As but one example; "chronically disruptive students".

The problem can be successfully addressed.

It has not been.
It has not been successfully addressed
because it has never been discussed;
and you can't solve a problem without discussing it.

The problem has not seen discussion
outside the circle of good ole boys.

What? ??

(teachers and students and parents talk about it of course, but since they have no real decision making power or resources to employ, they are not party to the discussion of the employment of power and resources.)

The reason that the discussion (of the employment of decision making power and resources) does not extend outside the circle of good ole boys,
is that the discussion cannot take place at all,
without at some discussing the issues of accountability and role modeling.

The solution to the problem of chronically disruptive students, includes

• holding them accountable for their conduct,
• holding the administration accountable for holding the student accountable, and
• perhaps changing the course of the kid's life; by role modeling more appropriate behavior
• including holding one's self honestly accountable
  for their own conduct and competence.

It is the message of the Pillar of Responsibility.

Maes knows that.

Surely she came across it somewhere in her service as
the President of the Character Counts Leadership Council.


Maes/Modrall and the leadership of the APS
have renounced both;

• honest accountability to meaningful standards of conduct and competence, and
• their responsibilities and obligations as role models.

In order to continue to deceive stakeholders, she and
they, cannot begin any discussion on the record,

(meaning; outside the circle of good ole boys),

if that discussion reasonably leads at any point;

to an honest and open discussion of accountability and
role modeling in the leadership of the APS.


Now;
think of a problem that presents an obstacle to educating our children,

that does not have its roots in their lack of accountability,
in holding themselves, and then students accountable,

and in the abject failure as role models,
of Paula Maes,
and the leadership of the APS;

... by their own considered, and deliberate, decision.
