Carey, I was just trying to go the opposite way and put a specific and human face on the problem. There is something very frustrating about reading so many comments that focus on the system and the politics that are not from people actually directly dealing with the fallout in a personal way, and I wanted to make a counterpoint.
btw, my grandson attends Waikoloa School. It is a wonderful school. He loves attending and is sad on days the bus doesn't come. The events like the Ho'olaulea are truly joyous and uplifting. They are doing something right. However, if they aren't open, then he is deprived of all that. 3 1/2 days of school is absolutely shameful.
My son has been searching for day care to cover the after school and half day for six months, and hasn't found anything, so this makes an already difficult juggling act impossible for a single employed parent to manage.
If any of you who seem to know a lot about programs have any knowledge of a program for Waikoloa, I will be beyond grateful to you for sharing.
