Recently I dealt with a 19 year old Pacific Islander...she spoke and wrote very well. She was very articulate and her grammer was okay.  I asked where she attended school and she replied, "in Micronesia".  OMG she showed a giant gap between our education system and theirs!  Just this one example proves our Hawaii education system is decades behind!!!!

I've dealt with college kids from UH and they weren't as good.  Sad sad sad...
