APS students aren't the only ones who can't pass a test.

The leadership of the APS was tested last night during the public forum. They failed, miserably.

It is hard to imagine a part of education that plays a greater role in the ultimate success of the endeavor than student conduct.

Superintendent Winston Brooks
was asked to tell the truth about
executive and administrative role
modeling of the student standards
of conduct.

He failed the test when he chose to
not respond.





One after the other, the rest of the leadership of the APS,
Marty Esquivel,
Lorenzo Garcia,
Delores Griego,
David Peercy,
David Robbins,
Robert Lucero, and
Paula Maes,
chose to fail the test as well.

If we cannot expect the leadership of the APS to tell the truth about as basic a concept as student standards of conduct, and their role as role models, how can we expect them to tell the truth about anything else at all.

The leadership of the APS rejects accountability as role models of the student standards of conduct for one reason and one reason only; it is a standard of conduct that requires them to tell the truth to stakeholders.

APS students don't have a chance, never did, never will, apparently.

The Journal was there and watched it all.

Apparently the refusal of the leadership of the APS to answer
a legitimate question candidly, forthrightly and honestly,
even as important a question as role modeling of the student
standards of conduct, is not "newsworthy".

If you would like to see the testing, link, make your way to
33:05, pay attention for one minute.

See School Board President
Marty Esquivel hiding
his face, perhaps even in
honest to God, shame.
