why doesn't the entire Puna community back the Stevens family on this matter? "Chronic Bad Apples"? These kids need to be thrown out of Kea'au school...period! With their only chance of an education coming from a different school district.
What is it gonna take, a death of a child before this school and community reacts to these random acts of violence?
To me it obvious that the Principle at Kea'au High School is just there for paycheck, and little else.
One to five day suspension is a joke!!!! These kids stay at home to play Playstation for 5 days, with little or no punishment.
Why not make the parents responsible for their kids acts of violence at schools? Charge them with a criminal act? In Honolulu a few years back when 'cutting school',seemed to be the norm. On OAhu they decided to make the parents responsible their kids action. If the kids kept 'cutting school', the parents could possibly be looking at jail time. It work to a degree with success, and I'm sure Hawaii County could do something similiar to curb this violent trend.
Let's face it, everything starts at home whether good or bad. It's the jobs of the parent to mold their kids into a certain image, not the schools!
Damn, I was under the impression that your kids were better off going to school in Kea'au middle & High School district rather than having your kids go to school in and around Pahoa Town?
As for the school violence in the Kea'au area, it's just to damn high! Where are the parents of these bullies? There is no excuse for this behavior
