Kudos to the students, teachers and principal of Campbell High School in ‘Ewa, who protested at the state Capitol today to get air conditioning. While the DOE talks about its progress toward air conditioning the public schools in recent years, I just have to note, the fact that Leeward classrooms get unbearably, ridiculously hot is hardly news. Those conditions existed 30 years ago, when I was a student at Waipahu High School. DOE—improving facilities one generation at a time!
(Theoretically, Waipahu and Campbell are rivals, fighting annually for possession of the Cane Knife in their homecoming football games, but intolerable working and learning conditions transcend all scholastic rivalries!)
Here's to cooler schools, sooner.
