This morning in the Advertiser was alarming news that more than 50 of Hawai'i elementary, middle and high schools were in danger of being restructured because they have been unable to meet "No Child Left Behind" standards.
I really sympathize with the school administrators because they are being faced with a double whammy: 1) a shortage of qualified teachers and 2) an influx in some schools of a large immigrant population.
The State will bring in an educational consultant vendor (all from the Mainland) to assist the schools. The saddest thing is, in the Bush Administration's 2006 Budget, the No Child Left Behind Law is going to have its funding cut. So who will pay to get Hawai'i's schools back up to snuff? You, the people of Hawai'i.
