What a travesty to have turned it into an overly selective and racial quotient based school while Hawaiian children of all racial backgrounds are subjected to an unsafe hostile campus in Pahoa.
As stunningly beautiful and affordable at it is here in Puna, it's almost equally inept and corrupt.
The state of Hawaii's schools is in part an unintended consequence of having the Kamehameha schools siphon off the families who would be fighting for a better education for their kids. If those families were sending their kids to public schools we would have a very different school system in this state.
