What's In a Name?
It's Aloha Friday! Hope you have a good weekend!! And now for some written thoughts before the week closes: Ok. My sister's input has spurred me to consider a name change for the school. See it on the blog's title page. I tweeked it a little. Her recommendation is for NOT using the term ACADEMY. She wrote: "I personally feel that "Academy" is way too rigid and has negative connotations, structured through non-Pacific philosophies of knowledge that are actually inhibiting our (pacific) children's learning. I suggest "Iosepa Center for Cultural Learning and Education". I added the 21st century part. So what is a 21st century education? That'll be the topic of another post. For now, consider this comment and change, and give your feedback! Mahalo!!!
