Ms. Suevon Lee, please continue to write articles like this one.  Your positivity regarding Hawaii's public schools has been a breath of fresh air.  For every bad experience the public can cite, I can cite good ones -- it's just that no one seems to care about the parts that work.  That in turn, leads to discouragement among those that try to make a difference.  In order to move forward, we need you, and everyone else in our community, to help us balance our views of what is and is not working.
