Why is this important?
I began working as an educator in Hawaii in 1995: first as a substitute teacher at Pope Elementary School, then for summer school, then full-time subbing for the Windward District. During my many years as a tenured teacher, my concern over the quality of public education has escalated to the point of panic and despair. This is over the corporate mandates I must adhere to in order to keep my job. We have lost student access to school libraries during the day due to school librarian positions being cut. Testing has become the focus and workplace bullying the norm. Lying, cheating, and harassment by administrators is the norm. This needs to stop. How?
More transparency and accountability is needed from the decision-makers in the Hawaii Department of Education. The Board of Education oversees the public school system and state library system. All Hawaii voters deserve access to meetings which take place during the work day on Oahu and to witness for themselves what is being decided regarding Hawaii's children.
