As our legislators sit back and watch the future of out keiki get compromised, we need to move to action. We need to initiate change ourselves. I am looking for people that will walk the walk, not talk the talk. I'm looking for people that are willing to MAKE CHANGE, not just talk about it. I am looking for THOUSANDS of concerned citizens to come together to DEMAND change from our legislators. If this issue does motivate people to get involved, nothing will. It is so sad to see that more people gave a damn about the Superferry than for our keiki. This is not right. People, let's PUT UP OR SHUT UP. If you are interested in joining this movement, let me know. More importantly, you need to pass this on. My email is melrapozo@gmail.com and I want to make sure that the future of our kids is the PRIORITY! I am looking at peaceful demonstrations, letter writings, political forums, etc. We need to change the laws to require minimums in instructional days. We need to bring local control to our school districts. This system is broken and we need to fix it. Please spread the word. Email me and lets all stand up and fight for our keiki.
GOD HELP OUR CHILDREN!!
Do you know if your kids go to Kauai High School.and because of block scheduling....in the month of Nov, they will have only 15 school days (7- A days and 8- B days) If math is on an A day...they will have math only 7 days in the entire month of Nov! December is worst...6 -A days and 5- B days! Tell me how can the teacher teach their subjects in ... Read Moresuch time, what is worst, how can the kids learn ?!!! For the entire 2nd quarter, they will have only 19- A days and 19- B days!
ReplyDelete19 days to learn Alg II, or Spanish, or etc..... our poor kids, they are getting "shafted" big time!
Let's not get our panties all up in a twist because of the "shortened" November days of school....the furloughs are taking up two days this month. Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving are taking up three days. I agree that any day taken away is not a good thing, but you can't blame the furloughs by themselves for the shortened November calendar.

No. Sorry. I disagree. It is just more of the same.
If the system is broken do you really think waiting for dum-dums like this legislature and governor for a new law to be bickered back and forth is the answer????? How do explain the fact that the state is already under federal mandate for a certain amount of school days for special ed......but do you think that stopped the lawless, criminal dimwits named Lingle and Bennet?
No.
So as we already KNOW the system is broken, more like dirty...clean it out; impeach Lingle and with that garbage toss so goes Bennet too.
NOBODY is going to bust a move on a limp proposal.
In fact, itʻs easier than one would think because the impeachment papers had already been prepared during the Superferry era and could probably be brought up to date and re-introduced.
The only way to CHANGE THE SYSTEM is to put forward an example to all other government officials that the people just wonʻt stand by twiddling their thumbs.
Just my humble yet disgusted opinion.
Just heard thereʻs an impeachment petition circulating on Oahu.
ReplyDeleteLet us know if it's accessible to Kauai residents and we'll make sure to sign and spread the word via "coconut wireless" so others who agree can sign too. The best idea so far -
ReplyDeleteHeard about the Petition 2 nites ago from a friend in Nanakuli. It may not be an online petition yet?????
ReplyDeleteWILL try to find out more.
