Yes, another indication that the BOE/DOE is the source of many of the problems with the public school system.

You may choose to rant a bit about a graph notation that you've seemingly interpreted to mean Hawaii's schools are in fine shape, but the reality is that it is still up to the C-D reader(s) to choose who they want to trust in sending them on a useful path to researching the situation of Hawaii's schools. I'll repeat my recommendations, and then I'll let the reader(s) take it or leave it:

What a bizarre post!
You put a lot of words in my mouth that I didn't say, and put a spin on my posts to bolster your replies. Yes, I assumed anyone would read the "Introduction" to this report without being directed to it. Duh! Apparently, you did not.
I have no dog in this fight, and quoted what appeared to be a positive improvement. If the report is all B.S., so be it. Did you find anything in those 32 page to be true?

Meanwhile, please do not twist or interpret any more of my words.
Sheesh!

We are going to have kids soon, so the school system isn't the biggest concern at this moment.
so, I'm not really sure why this thread is being derailed.

You are right.
I tried to explain what seemed, initially, to be a misunderstanding about a bit of good news, and now here we are.
My apologies!
Back to the regularly scheduled broadcast!
BTW: I'm sitting home with an injured knee, and my best friends just called from a ski resort, to report a wonderful day.
Bah, humbug! Surgery in two weeks!

Have lived in the LA area, Tidewater VA area, Memphis, New Haven CT, Japan, Kuwait, Germany.... I love it here. I've spent time in Chicago and I love Chigaco people!! But I do love it here. Haven't been here long enough to really get sick of it, if that'll ever happen w/the gorgeous surroundings and great climate.
