Wow, David, this is a whole different Hawaii than the one the tourist sees.
I never was stationed there, but passed thru many times and loved the place.
Hard to see behind the curtain who actually has the 'privelege'.

Yup,  James Campbell High School, Ewa Beach Hawaii.
Teachers by and large didn't give a shit.  One in particular BARELY spoke
english.
Typical dialog:  Me: "I don't understand this part of the book", Him, in
impenetrable chinese accent: "No you can't go to the bathroom".... Me:
Shrug..  Occasionally he'd show a movie that had NO relation with what the
class was about, then have a test that didn't relate to the movie at all.. I
passed, damifino why.   Math class:  More long division. We've been doing
long division the whole year.  Ask the teacher a question, "read the book".
