It's sad that teachers, not all of them but many like Andy, blame others for not being able to do their job. There are so many teachers who love what they do and find creative ways to reach their students.

Andy, implying that the candidates aren't suited for the job partially because of their lack of Hawaii ties is interesting especially since you aren't from here. Does that mean, since you are closest to the students, you are unable to understand/teach Hawaii's keiki?

And really, the whole Darrel Galera thing again? Is HSTA and Andy really that willing to overlook his seriously unethical behavior and/or incompetence? Either way, not good qualities for a Superintendent.

Lastly, please, do not take credit for the 2014 election. Teachers barely turn out to vote for their own elections!
