Post: sending my "haole" children to Hawaii's schools

Posted by Joanne W on 12/25/03

I am currently a special education teacher in NY. I taught
on the small Pacific Island of Saipan for 3 years and I
loved it there. My husband and I have been longing for the
tropical lifestyle and are in the planning stages of moving
to Hawaii in the summer of 2005. I have read the postings
on this site and I am so saddened by them that I am
reconsidering my move. I feel that I could handle the
teaching conditions in Hawaii (in Saipan we no breaks, had
to mop, sweep our own rooms and even took out our own
garbage). What really worries me, though, is the prospect
of sending my two little, innocent "haole" children to
school where they may be hated, teased because of their
color (my daughter is so white she's practically blue!)
Honestly, is it really bad for white children in the
schools? I would apprecaite any feedback. Thanks you-
Joanne
