I have a relative here on the Big Island who as a Kamehameha alum is very proud of his cultural background. So... when is baby girl was 3, enrolled her in Kamehameha's pre school program. Now 2 years later she takes the exam for elem. school and has a good score... but because the campus has only 24 openings, she doesn't get in. My relative's family was crushed because they feel cheated. I can see why! I mean they pay the school to prepare thier child for elem school ....she gets a good score....she didn't get in. Did the school fail to do their job? Or did the school lose another bright Hawaiian child because of space?
IMO ... a pre-school's job is to prepare a child ( in this case to go to Kamehameha) for school. The family will move on and try again when the child is ready for High School ....but after 9 years in public school it will be hard to do it. Is this Pauahi's Legacy?
