Aloha Nala, I see Clara says it's appauling ... well hopefully
Clara is not teaching spelling. Actually most Teachers find
taking a 8% pay cut is a fair exchange for gaining over three
weeks more vacation for this year and next. We get to have
really worthwhile weekends where we can enjoy our beautiful
surroundings. Hopefully the shorter year will be a constant
and with the good mood all the Teachers are in with this new
four day week it's possible that our keiki will score better
on our annual tests this year than ever before. So all you in
the 49 states watch us closely and a new trend may emerge
where less is more. Loving it with only 160 days of students.
