APS School Board (tacitly) admits to characterlessness and/or cowardice.

The APS Student Standards of Conduct read;

Students are expected to model and promote
the Pillars of Character Counts!
The APS Leadership Standards of Conduct read;
Leaders are expected to model and promote
the Pillars of Character Counts!


There are good role models in the leadership of the APS.
There are positive role models in the leadership of the APS.
There are no role models of the Pillars of Character Counts!

Not one. link

I have repeatedly suggested that;

there are only two reasons that they will not discuss
administrative and executive role modeling
of the Pillars of Character Counts!;
openly and honestly.

One being, a lack of character, the other, being a lack of courage.

And they have (tacitly) agreed;
implied (as by an act or by silence) rather than expressed
understood without being openly expressed; implied
silent; saying nothing, unvoiced or unspoken
unexpressed, unspoken, unsaid, implicit.

Implied by or inferred from actions or statements:
It has been 70 days since David Robbins put
the role modeling clause on the table for an open and
honest discussion. The clause reads;
In no case shall the standards of conduct for adults,
be lower than the standards of conduct for students.


70 days later, and still, the open and honest discussion has
not taken place.

They are stonewalling.

Stonewalling is specifically and expressly prohibited according
to the Pillars of Character Counts!

The Pillars of Character Counts! prohibit;
"... all acts, including half-truths, out-of-context
statements, and even silence, that are intended to
create beliefs or leave impressions that are untrue or
misleading.
The leadership of the APS has invested a great deal of money
in creating the belief, and leaving the impression that, character
counts in the leadership of the APS.

There are at least two senior APS administrators who are being
paid specifically to create the belief and leave the impression
that, character counts in the leadership of the APS.

They are creating beliefs, and leaving impressions, that are
deliberately misleading, that are dishonest, that are unethical.

Their conduct is diametrically opposite to the message that
they are supposed to be teaching our children.

Instead of teaching them to embrace character and courage
and honor,

by their example, they are instead, teaching them to be
hypocrites; short on character and/or short on courage.



We should not be so worried that our children never listen to us,
as we should be worried that they are always watching us.
