He cannot even begin to explain, in words that a child can
understand, why he will hold them accountable
to a higher standard of conduct and competence than
his own.
So he won't even try.
Role model, schmole model.
Shame on you, Winston Brooks.
The terms of public service are the prerogative of the public. Fundamental among those terms; public servants are accountable to the public, and to meaningful standards of conduct and competence, at least for the eight measly hours a day that we have to "trust" them with the control over our power and our resources.
I don;t think Brooks is going to be available to anyone, including the board, students, teachers, parents.
ReplyDeleteHe's also probably bitten off more than he can chew. His district was much smaller than APS, and more heterogeous in the populations.
On the other hand, I think the board got conned too. They thought they got some kind of suckup, and they got some kinda-somethin-else instead (not sure what yet).
