"When you get to a certain age, you can start to count the number of governors and superintendents who have promised us an education system second to none. I remember Gov. John Waihee making such promises when I was a public school student in the 1980s, reading even then the headlines that Hawaii's schools ranked among the worst in the nation. The Big Fix is always right around the corner. Just hang in there a little longer."
