Hi CS. Last week I was speaking to a local HS teacher from Kau that was telling me the stats. She couldn't get hired in her own hometown! because of the "Teach for America" and "mainland recruited teachers". It took her 2 years to get a fulltime job, because she basically had to wait for an opening to open up - as the mainlanders went back home. She ended up in Hilo - which is nuts, because teachers aren't exactly beating the door down to teach in Kau (no offense to the Kau residents).
