Esquivel Gessing pissing contest heats up

Current score;

  • Paul Gessing.......................... bone dry
  • Marty Esquivel.......soaked to the bone
Their disagreement is over how much it costs APS to educate one of our sons or daughters.

By Gessing's estimate, link, it costs $14,525.

Esquivel is representing that $3,000 is closer to the truth.

Gessing bases his estimate on a logical calculation, total cost divided by total number of students. It is elegant in its simplicity.

Esquivel's response to the calculation is that it was done by a "right-winger with an agenda, an ax to grind and no credibility".

Esquivel chooses to not disclose the basis for his calculation.

According to the standards of conduct that apply to students but not to Esquivel, when you tell someone something, when you are done with the telling, the other person and you should understand the truth in exactly the same way.

All of this begs a question;
Who is being more honest?
Paul Gessing or Marty Esquivel

Marty Esquivel cannot find the character and the courage to hold himself honestly accountable as a role model of the APS Student Standards of Conduct; the Pillars of Character Counts!

He cannot summon the character and the courage to hold himself honestly accountable to any standard of conduct that requires truthtelling. His preferred standard; "legal" weaselry, the Modrall law firm and a pipeline to classroom bound dollars.

He gets away with it because of Kent Walz and the Journal,
Sue Stephens and KOAT, and the news directors at KRQE and KOB TV.

When Esquivel declares the cost per student to be $3,000 per anum - is he speaking for the entire board? r.
