Kani-lehua,
I am teaching at a public charter school. Even though we are public schools teaching children of Hawaii we do not get access to DOE resources and are funded at less than half the level of the DOE schools, so we do not have the kapuna in our school anymore. I am teaching the 7th grade Hawaiian History class (unification through the overthrow) and my students range from a few Native Hawaiian speakers to fresh from the mainland newcomers. We are having a fun time learning this history together, but I cringe every time I mispronounce important places and people's names.
