Re: Private school tuition
From my recollection... the superior athletes at my school were never discriminated against...If anything, given privileges such as time out from school to travel, tutors, more access to the weight rooms, etc.
So where does Kamu get this 80% number?... if Kamu is going to follow that by saying, "in fact..."
You are only looking at the people that you know in Hawaii. The benefit will be seen in the future... it's a simple concept of the rich get richer while the poor get poorer.
Hugs though Kamu if i'm reading this wrong.

For the other 80%, it makes no difference. In fact, in Hawaii, I think the best way to kill the fighting spirit of your average kid is to send them to private school. I've known many Punahou, Iolani and Kamehameha grads who "peaked" on graduation day because they felt entitled to success not simply given the opportunity to start the fight.
When I look around at the people I know in Hawaii (1000s), I can't look at the "products" (the adults) and tell if they were public or private school trained. That's my double blind test. If there seem to be equal numbers of successful or happy or productive individuals from Hawaii private schools as public, then where is the benefit?
