Let me clarify, my comments are only directed at 88. He’s the guy that told me to meet him at the hospital. I wasted my time and went, but he never show. I mean, why tell me to meet you and you never show up. That’s not cool. I even had one bag poi and 2 lb poke.

No such thing as a “high level college”. Every college has its own unique attribute.

Whether it’s Emporia state in Kansas, or the more glamorous “Cal-Berkeley”. At Cal you could get lost in the shuffle. Prices for everything are sky high. At Emporia State its the opposite. All these glamorous big name universities are overrated. Whose to say you can’t get a great experience and education at Emporia State, Mid American Nazarene, or Valley city State College.

When at college myself, just being in a town that’s 97% Caucasian was a solid experience for me. We were only an “NAIA” member but we destroyed NCAA D1 schools every year. My junior and senior years we played Washington State over 30 times, they only beat us twice.

I guess ’cause I’m half white it wasn’t so intimidating. But this mindset where you have to go to a big name glamorous University to be successful is foolish.

Education first…Nobody would take issue with what you say if you weren’t so disparaging. Debate your points without calling kids n parents named, n then nobody would care. But the way you post hateful comments, n the amount of hateful things u say is overwhelming. You can be passionate about something without poking at the dignity of others. You can be controversial without offending people. Debate not degrade!!!

To the blogger named Peni Latu, I am sorry if you are offended. But I stand by my argument of low test scores, throwing the coach under the bus, and anything else I have said regarding basketball and the poor 2-3, now 3-3 record.

I like to be realistic. The law of averages tell me if you are not proficient in math, reading, or science, you will most likely struggle to find a high paying job and have the opportunity to go to a high level college.

That is not on the kids. It’s on the parents. But the parents won’t take accountability. Instead they will sling insults on this blog and make excuses. And that is why these test scores really haven’t changed over the past 50+ years.

The test scores are not an insult. It’s scientific fact.

Education First, what the hell did these people do to you to make you say such hurtful things about them??? You talking about PCC and McDonald’s workers with hatred. Whats wrong with you? This article is written about a coach suing a school and 2 women because his team didnt want to play for him…the team doesn’t, and sounds like they won’t even if he gets it back, play for him. Somehow you and everyone found a way to make it sound as if an entire community is full of a bunch of losers…the high school is full of kids that have no chance at making it in life…their test scores are so horrible that their doomed to failure in life…ALL OF THESE INSULTS because kids dont want to play for a basketball coach. You people need a new outlook in life. Turn your message around!!! Tell kids that they WILL be successful! Tell them that they have a chance. Tell them that slme of the best people in this world come from dire situations. Change the way you think. Make this place better, not the crabs in a bucket mentality. I would be raging if I was from there after reading everything. Sorry Mr Latu. We should have never used ur son to debate something. Hes an incredible talent n good luck in college. Kahuku boys good luck with your season. Im going to keep watching Hawaii basketball n cheer on the kids.

88 are you that ignorant? Expressing your opinion is not libel. Man please take a poli sci class or anything about law. Nothing I have written would constitute libel.
