Konawaena High School

I have have two kid in this school. One just graduated and the other is in the ninth grade. This is by far the worst school I have ever been associated with. My son tried to take advanced Spanish but was told by the Spanish teacher that his class was used for homework and if time allowed, for movies. Then he went to Geometry and was told by the teacher that paddling was the focus and if he paddled he would pass geometry. My son paddled to pass since there was not actual teaching. Then his English teacher had some kind of a nervous breakdown in class and the students were unable to have proper communication with her. Now my daughter is having the same issues. The Algebra teacher will not teach and only passes kids cause she has too, not to lose her job. All she does is give out papers and tells them to learn it. When we approached the teacher, she gave us a number for tutoring. The tutor is great but now the teacher is upset with the fact that now my daughter knows more then she does and does not give her credit for knowing but give the other students credit for trying. There are 20 students in that class and only 7 stay, the rest leave to cruise the hallways because she wont teach. Kids in this school can just get up and leave the class anytime they want. The algebra teacher told all the students to leave because they were asking questions and when they came back she scolded them for leaving. The students have actually told her to take tutoring herself. The principal is nowhere to be found and the students never interact with him. This school only gets higher rating than others in Hawaii because the numbers are not correct and teachers fudge them. My son went to talk to a counselor and was told to come back because they did not want to stop their fun time to handle issues that really don't matter. WOW!!!!!!!!
