Keep Infectious Haole Money Out of Hawaii

Broken school system + fractured families = big problems!

Teachers arent allowed to teach. All students are pushed towards college (no trades or skills). Parents expect teachers to do 100% of the work. I could go on - but enough generalizations for today!

 

I don’t know the answer but I think there are some legacy issues that play a part in this (African Americans, Native Americans, Hawaiians).

These cultures simulating/integrating over the decades with the “American way” has not worked out well for them. Add family structure and local funding (municipal taxes etc), and political tug o war, and you get a lackluster education system.

Parenting is paramount but the system in general is whacked...whether it’s SC or HI I believe it’s a result of similar legacy issues.

And no, Socializing society is not the answer. But, I don’t know what is...

 

I'd argue you need a literate, numerate and politically aware populace for democracy to work, but we all know for a fact compulsory education is no guarantee of that.

 

Just read the article, wow. It's getting heavy...
