TMT Work to Resume Says Ige!

[Rob L]

Gypsy has a good point. In most of the US rural school produce poorer results than urban one and especially suburban ones. The reason is fairly obvious. With their better tax base urban school spend more per student, and suburban ones have high income parents who are often willing to vote for higher taxes for better schools. But, Hawaii is the only state with a state wide board of education and all funding is from the state, not the locality. So, why are our schools not producing the results that other areas produce? Are better teachers more willing to work in Honolulu and less willing to work on the Big Island? Do results simply mirror the educational level of parents and the schools either cannot or do not do enough to ameliorate the differences? These are questions more people should be asking and demanding that schools find the answers and improve their education of our keki.

The TMT should be a great educational opportunity for Big Island schools. Are our schools good enough to take full advantage?
