Hey Ched, are you OK?

Yes, I am, and thank you for asking. I apologize for just dropping off the radar for awhile without explanation.

Sometimes the exceedingly thin prospect of actually changing anything about the leadership of the APS makes the investment in writing even one more post seem pointless.

The hiring of Winston Brooks, without any discussion of his obligations as a role model was the straw that broke the camel's back; at least momentarily.

In any case, I am feeling stronger and prepared to resume my efforts to bring some reform to the leadership of the APS.

pUTTING THE TIME, EFFORT AND EMOTIONAL INVESTMENT THAT YOU DO INTO THIS BLOG IS QUITE ADMIRABLE.
wE APPRECIATE WHAT YOU DO, AND WHEN YOU DROP OFF THE BLOG FOR A FEW DAYS, SOME OF US WONDER IF THOSE aps VAMPIRES MIGHT HAVE CAPTURED YOU AND RAN..lol.
SERIOUSLY, I THINK I SPEAK FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE WHEN I SAY THAT YOU DESERVE: 1)A BREAK WHENEVER YOU FEEL LIKE IT 2)AT LEAST HALF THE SUPERENTENDENTS PAY 3) APPRECIATION AND THANKS FROM THE COMMUNITY AND 4) A HUMANITARIAN AWARD.
WHAT YOU DO IS NOT EASY, AND IT MUST BE AGGRAVATING AND DRAINING A LOT OF THE TIME.
A 1,000 THANKS IS NOT ENOUGH. NEVERTHELESS, HERE'S 1 MORE.
THANKS!

I agree with the APS Instructor. I enjoy your blog and was concerned you let that aggrivation (with APS) get the best of you. I've had my own migrains and chest pains after dealing with the district. I'm glad to hear you took some down time for yourself.
Thanks for all you do, Ched.
