Comment: Why do we keep changing the Superintendent?  After hiring new Superintendents and paying more money, what do we expect is going to happen?  Do you all think that the student performance is going to suddenly rise to the top?  If so, you are all dreaming.

In general, the key to good student performance in the school lies with the parents and family.  Look around and you can see that many Hawaii families are not ones that produce high academic achievement.  We have too many children that come from uneducated and even poor parents who don't care much if their children finish school.  Yes, there are exceptions but they are too few and will succeed no matter who the Superintendent is or even who their teachers are.

We would be better off if the Board of Education were replaced with people who recognize our situation and work with it and not expect miracles.
