Alright, this is my first post on this forum....I mean I say it's the first but probably won't be because I'll probably delete it and make another one if I don't like it. Okay, why am I doing this? Well right now is the time I am about to leave mainland America. I arrive in Hilo in about a week and my husband and I will be living in Puna. We want to live there and maybe buy some cheap land and start building our own house somewhere in Nanawale, Eden Roc or some other subdivision. I have a baby on the way and am the mother of a soon-to-be eighth grader who will be joining us when he comes back from summer vacation with his grandparents. I have been looking at posts in different places and I'm not sure what school I should be looking into. We can't afford private schools but we hear the charter school is the way to go. I'm not too impressed with the facilities of most schools that I saw online. Most of them don't even have a website. I was told about one school that was actually entirely on solar power and I think that's neat but I don't know anything about the education in these schools. So I would love to hear y'all's recommendations. And I really hope I don't get replies like "leave your kid on the mainland", people on that city data forum say that a lot. I have no idea why they are so negative about Hawaii. [:o)]
