Aloha all,
Since you guys are already hip to using forums, I thought you might be interested in our new totally non-profit, totally ad-free site regarding education in Hawaii. A labor of love project that has cost my wife and I more time and money than we ever imagined, but it's finally ready to roll. Lots of forums (see below). And info on a new program for "accelerated" 5/6th graders--pretty radical actually, a self-contained class for high potential elementary students.
I invite you to come on over and register. It has just opened and, as HawaiiThreads knows, it takes a certain level of activity for a forums-based website to reach a critical mass. So make a post on a brand new website to help the cause of educational discourse in Hawaii!
http://real-school.com
You will find:
Match-Ed Forums
The "Match-Ed Forums" are something of an educational match-making
service for people to share their expertise with each other informally.
The Match-Ed Forums also contain areas for people giving lessons of
some sort, clubs and hobbies, as well as an area for folks providing
other services and local events.
Education Forums
A variety of educational topics are specified in the "Education
Forums". It's like interactive letters-to-the-editor discussions of
many different aspects of schooling on the Big Island. You are invited
to join in!
School Forums
Each and every school on the Big Island has their own forum to discuss
issues specific to their school. Check out the discussion at your
public, charter, or private school!
REAL Class
The Hawai'i Academy of Arts and Science Public Charter School
(commonly known as HAAS) is hosting a pilot program called "Relevant
Education for Accelerated Learners". The REAL Class will be accepting
applications through April 2006 for 20 spaces in a 5th/6th combo class
to start in July 2006.
Real School will become _the_ place to to talk story about education in
the Hawaii! We hope.
