I hope to do this regularly again. I need a way to vent. Just a few observations. Central Oahu District is anti civil rights. The civil rights compliance officer is a joke. HSTA needs better uniservs. they realy provide poor representation. The cave in of the roof at Farrington High School is a symptom of an ineffective department. Trying to blame the church (who tried to do repairs) is no class. the superintendent should be fired.the DOE has become corrupt. UH board of regents should not have any input into what coaches should be retained. They do not have the background to do so. If (as Donovan said) that McMackin was asked to resign under the threat of an investigation. Doesn't that imply that an investigation was necessary? And if his resignation stopped that investigation, doesn't that mean another investigation is needed to find out what the initial investigation hid? Just saying. It seems to me that Greenwood is only interested in getting her people in. people loyal to her and not the university. Buying computers for students is a stupid idea. who will maintain? who will monitor? besides students don't know how to use computers for what we would like them to do. they use them like typewriters or toys. students need to learn how to think (which a certain central district cas seems to oppose). then use the computer as a tool. students need to learn to be responsible for their own learning. students need to learn to write cursive. besides learning fine motor skills it will help them to become critical thinkers. art and music is a necessary part of life. it is not an extra, it is not a frill. civilizations from the beginning of time have had music there is a reason.
