Theft of Knowledge

I'm taken by the Mau'i News article on the theft of Waihe'e School's computers. To steal from someone is bad enough, but to take from and prevent our keiki's education.... no can! Our children are hurting enough with the furlough's going on and taking away from the amount of time that they spend in school learning, isn't that enough? Our school system has changed dramatically in the past five to ten years. Some for the good, some for worse. Leave our keiki alone, stop harming them by starving them further of knowledge! they are so fortunate to have the technology that they do today compared to when I was in school. They deserve all that they are provided. Doesn't anyone care anymore about what our keiki will grow up to become? Or do we just sit back and let them figure it out for themselves? My oldest son has ambitions of becoming a professional bodyboarder, and yet, his mother and I continuously push him to keep involved with high school sports and try to acheive academic scholarships to get accepted into a good college. How are keiki supposed to do this if we have vagrants stealing from their schools, preventing them from getting a good education? My heart goes out to those students and faculty that have lost precious and valuable time and work on all those stolen computers, and too the thieves who took them I say A'ole!!.... return them anonymously and give back to our keiki, they are the future of our land and we shall continue on through them.
