The bone chilling ignorance, and mind numbing hypocrisy, of APS Board Member Marty Esquivel

This link should get you to the minutes of the May 13, 2008
policy committee meeting.

Marty Esquivel is upset by the lack of sportsmanship at
athletic events.

He is in search of a policy that will address the issue.

It is bone chilling to realize that the policy he seeks,
already exists in the standards of conduct that he enforces
upon students.
and he is apparently unaware.

Sportsmanship can not be more adequately addressed than
it already is, by the Pillars of Character Counts!.

The existing policy is more than adequate to the need;
it lacks only enforcement.

It is unenforceable because there is not one member of the
leadership of the APS willing to hold them self accountable
as a role model of that standard of conduct.

Including Marty Esquivel;

which brings us to the mind numbing hypocrisy part.

He has proven to be such a big disappointment. I will not vote for him again, and I always vote.

Is it possible that he already knows that Character Counts applies, and is trying to get it noticed? Who says every approach must be direct?

The indirect approach to Character Counts!; highlighting it when it makes you look good, and ignoring it when it gets in the way,

is pretty much what they have been doing since 1994.

I'll bet that you can't find an aps student in ten, who can name three of the six pillars.

I would be honestly surprised if Mr. Esquivel could either.

Which is why they behave the way they do at athletic events.

Marty Esquivel and Gordon Rowe expect to hold parents accountable to a standard of conduct that they have rejected for themselves; rejected as too high a standard for their interests.

They will make no difference at all.

Leadership starts at the top; and there is no more effective form of leadership, than leadership by personal example.
