Great, another mainland Civil Beat reporter coming in to tell us why Hawaii sucks. Why didn't Civil Beat hire a local reporter? Someone that has gone through Hawaii's public schools and/or has in-depth knowledge about the schools and the culture of the communities that surround them... 

If the Chamberlin Foundation really wanted to help, that money should've gone directly to the students. Not some reporter who will unnecessarily stir the pot, make a mess, and leave Hawaii in two years.
