Michael McNamara; Principal at Jefferson Middle School

Mike McNamara hosted the meeting at Jefferson MS Monday.

Before that, the last time I had seen McNamara he was sitting
across the table from me at an arbitration of my dispute with
the APS.

In my opinion, he was perjuring himself.

In the opinion of the arbitrator, a former New Mexico State
Supreme Court Chief Justice, the testimony of McNamara,
and of the Principal Wayne Knight,

"... lacked credibility in the face of controverting testimony
from any other witness.
And here he is, administrative role model of
the Pillar of Trustworthiness.

No wonder so many students make it through the APS with
no idea what it means to be a person of character, and honor
and courage.

McNamara may be an ethicless punk for all I know, but he is better than some I have seen leading our children. The lesser of two dumbasses? Who then is more morally stupid than Mikey?

Let us remmeber the crystal clear vision we have, out of the daily fight, able to survey the whole educational battle-scene. Arm-chair style, I would even venture to say in self-deprecation.

Mike is IN the scene, he can't imagine a world without the grafting and mutual back scratching, as we can. Most people are afraid to rock the boat, because people in glass offices should not hurl metal staplers, yes?

All people have to do, as you have encouraged often, is get together and kvetch about it to the right people. That is all it takes, enough voting and property owning citizens to say "Hey, Mr. Government, please DO something!"

Often, what happens is a pay off, and then they start in on the same old tune that led the children into the woods , AGAIN. Because the money is in the rescue attempts, the overtime that is paid for a situation they created on purpose, an attractive nuisance that they find very lucrative.

So, the people with low ethics levels, and those who just don't participate but don't "rat", they are in the system, we are OUT of the system, and that is why we have different perspectives.

Or I could be full of any kind of excrement you can think of, who knows.
