Just a little venting - not aimed at anyone
So we all want to move here, talk about ALOHA, the friendly people, etc, etc, etc. That is until the subject of schools - then it's practically all negative. Ever wonder how local people feel if they knew your true thoughts on how they got to be them? After all, aren't the vast majority of them products of the very school system you all seem to abhor? So, it was OK for them, but not you little preciouses? Could make one think they aren't quite as good. Kinda makes my skin crawl when I read (usually on another forum), " I couldn't possibly move to Hawaii until after my kids finish school." Makes me want to respond - Don't bother, we don't need your superior attitude, not now, not after your kid graduates.
A good education involves much more than getting into some college. Chances of your son/daughter becoming the world's next great whatever are pretty slim, so why not help them just become a good person, friend, neighbor.
