“I look forward to working hand in hand with Hawaii’s teachers, leaders, staff, parents, community members, and student leaders...  i've met student council leaders, west side, and they dont exactly represent the majority of the students that i've talked to. my take is they turned into little elitist, like politicians do, and represent their, and their friends interests, dont really know the issues in their schools that affect their classmates, whom they rarely associate with. i checked the homepage for mckinley, waianae and radford, looked for some reference to student leaders, recommendations or anything that any student has proposed and there is nada, zero, zilch on any of them. they are very aware of what is going on in our world but many know it's rigged (their words) so why bother. even DOE doesn't have a single issue they have brought up and in fact, beyond mentioning what the 'hawaii state student council' is for, lists nothing they have ever done, requested or proposed.
