Hi! One of my family members was in Hawaii this month and
met an old friend for coffee. The friend is involved in
deaf education so the conversation turned to the effects of
the No Child Left Behind law.

The friend said that there were a lot of teaching positions
available because, evidently, the law specifies (or Hawaii
has determined) that their teachers must now have a BA or
BS in the subject they are teaching as well education
credits at the post-grad level.

The friend said that a delegation from Maui (I think) would
be in Texas in December to recruit teachers.

My daughter-in-law was born in Honolulu and she and my son (
they're both engineers)moved there recently. It would be
great to be closer to my two young grandchildren, so I'm

is correct. Is Hawaii really recruiting teachers from out
of state?

Hi cory,
We did NOT have a car and did just fine. I was always on time for work
and never 'just got there'. The bus system is GREAT! A pass is $40.00
a month unlimited usage. We had a 1 bedroom BEAUTIFUL view of Diamond
Head in Pearl City and paid $750 a month (although I do believe that
is WAY low.) We rente...See More
