Mrs. Leeʻs Kuapapa Nui Ma Ke Kula Problem Statements by Kumu Holly

Reporting

holee — 2023-12-08 20:10:54 UTC

Currently, it takes too long to report something via hiʻikua. We need a quicker and more private system.

Comfortable Seating

isaiahjoaquin — 2023-12-08 20:12:10 UTC

In some classes we donʻt have comfortable seating like bean bags and other things.

Snacks

2023-12-08 20:12:43 UTC

Not everyone gets snacks sometimes, because some people don't have time to get out there immediately

Eating on the Bus

2023-12-08 20:13:07 UTC

Currently, the people on the buses that have to go far away like Waimea or Kaʻū can't eat on the bus. Students van get hungry and come home really hungry after a VERY LONG ride.

Recess Equipment

2023-12-08 20:13:55 UTC

We all dont have access to all the resources at recess like the basketballs and footballs

Footballs

aizynnragocos — 2023-12-08 20:13:56 UTC

Most 7th graders that play football steal our footballs and don't pass to the 6th graders.

We need more ʻŌiwi learning opportunities

2023-12-08 20:14:18 UTC

We dont have alot of good resources for ʻŌiwi learning or ʻŌiwi learning opportunities in kula. More opportunities like hula for grade 6 maybe.

Chargable Areas

2023-12-08 20:14:34 UTC

Sometimes people have to look around everywhere just to find a charger area maybe we can put more charging areas around campus

Personal Device Repair

2023-12-08 20:14:41 UTC

Personally I thing HPK should be able to repair personal devices too. Some families may not be able to afford a repair for personal devices, I think HPK should at least repair devices for a low cost, personal or in school. if not free the first time for personal devices if it was broken on campus

Equipment

2023-12-08 20:14:45 UTC

Currently, the people who are playing basketball are taking over the space in the gym and there is no space for the people who want to play volleyball.

Helping and Talking

2023-12-08 20:15:12 UTC

Currently, when we are trying to talk to Kumu Shimose(or another kumu) about a problem, she is very busy. If it isnʻt a situation that hurts us physically, we cannot talk to her until a few days so we cannot address or receive advice about the situation. Even though we have others that we can go to, we have to almost create an appointment. According to North Central College, "The practice of conflict resolution involves a number of different methods. Resolving conflict may be done privately through negotiation between parties, or through the use of a neutral third party, such as a counselor or mediator." Here is the link: https://www.northcentralcollege.edu/news/2022/09/13/why-conflict-resolution-important#:~:text=Since%20conflict%20is%20an%20essential,understanding%20and%20control%20emotional%20responses

Dining Hall

When we leave the dining hall, we get excused at 12:35. But normally some people finish before 12:35, At 12 :20.

Being able to not wear a back strap because its hard to find at stores.

Theft

2023-12-08 20:15:38 UTC

Sometimes people will just take other peoples bags or things and just take whatever they want. Especially when people bring money for bradah pops.

Enough Play Equipment

2023-12-08 20:16:30 UTC

People keep getting volleyballs and basketballs stuck on the roof and there is not enough for more people to play during kūkulu or recces.

Safe Places

isaiahjoaquin — 2023-12-08 20:16:37 UTC

We need safe places for bags so people donʻt steal things in it.

recess

2023-12-08 20:16:40 UTC

its not fair when the 7th graders steal our recess equipment because we got it and they just add themselfs and they dont ask to join.

Dress Code

2023-12-08 20:16:41 UTC

clearly, we have to wear sweaters with no logo and school colors on them but I think we should change that by wearing sweaters with logos and different colors on them.

Library Cafe

2023-12-08 20:16:51 UTC

The Library Cafe is closed but I think that it should be open. Maybe sometimes we could make food for the Cafe or donate. We could even have it open in the morning because it gets cold.

Assigned seats on bus

2023-12-08 20:16:59 UTC

On the Kaʻū bus, we have assigned seats and cannot choose where we can sit which can sometimes make me feel uncomfortable.

School Bags

2023-12-08 20:18:53 UTC

I noticed that when I place my bags or instrument on a bench or table, I always come back with all of my stuff either thrown or knocked over and a bag is on the place that my bag was before! This is kind of unsafe too because it knocks my instrument over and I might get in trouble or have to pay some kind of fee for breaking my instrument. After researching, I found an article that states why taking care of someone elseʻs property is important. According to Medium.com, "Property rights are essential to creating a sense of ownership, security, and personal boundaries for people living within communities. Unfortunately, however, individuals sometimes disregard these rights, either unknowingly or intentionally." Here is the link to the website: https://medium.com/@jesteria35/respecting-property-rights-upholding-boundaries-and-fostering-a-culture-of-respect-d262af8d5ebb

Clean-up(@lunch)

2023-12-08 20:21:38 UTC

When we were third lunch, we had to deal with cleaning up and the 8th graders big messes. But recently, iʻve been noticing that we either have to do all the work, or they cut in line even though they are third lunch! In a way, I realized that they kind of complained when we did the same things that they did. According to BetterUp.com, "The running of any business depends on everyone understanding their roles and responsibilities. By understanding their duties, they can perform their assigned tasks efficiently. All members of the team should fulfill their responsibilities to the best of their abilities for teamwork to be effective." Here is the link to the website: https://www.betterup.com/blog/roles-and-responsibilities-why-define-them#:~:text=The%20running%20of%20any%20business,for%20teamwork%20to%20be%20effective.

Sometimes it may be difficult to study and things like that when there are loud people yelling.

More Time to Eat In Dining Hall

2023-12-08 20:23:54 UTC

Like in first quarter, we left class at the last bell to go to lunch. Kids would be complaining about we donʻt have enough time to eat and we only got to eat for 2 minutes and I agree we should have like 10 more minutes to eat when we go last bell to lunch.

people always getting me in drama or starting stuff wit me ifykyk.

2023-12-08 20:23:54 UTC

People spread rumors that aren't even true and start drama that I am not even involved in and then try to bring people into it that also I am not involved.

Eating

saniapeters — 2023-12-08 20:23:59 UTC

When busses come late in the morning some kids donʻt have time to eat till break.

Talking On Bus

2023-12-08 20:25:19 UTC

Our bus driver barley lets us talk on the bus which makes us feel like we canʻt talk. Heʻs always yelling at us for talking too much or too loud. He gets mad if we talk over his music which isnʻt loud so it makes us seem loud.

Free seating

evankanae — 2023-12-08 20:26:08 UTC

I think we should have the option to have free seating in every classroom because different people have different needs also some people learn best in different areas

Sepertate carts for each grade

2023-12-08 20:27:15 UTC

Sometimes when 6th grades want to grab some play equipment the 7th and 8th graders take away our equipment and when we play with them they make the game hard

bullying

2023-12-08 20:28:50 UTC

Some people (including the ASKMS) are being very rude just because they are ASKMS, like bumping into people and not apologizing, and spiking volleyballs at people and not caring.

Dress code

saniapeters — 2023-12-08 20:28:52 UTC

Some people express them selves by how they look.

Bus driver always yelling

2023-12-08 20:29:14 UTC

My bus diver is always yelling at us for little things and acts very rude to me and the people on my bus. He should be more nice to us and stop yelling for no reason.

Second Chances

Sometimes when we get a question wrong we don't get second chances other than summatives but the teachers sometimes don't give second chances

Dress code

ethantamura — 2023-12-08 20:31:24 UTC

If teachers get to wear anything we shouldn't have dress code like them.But nothing inappropriate.

Dress Code

2023-12-08 23:03:42 UTC

I think that we should take away some of the very harsh restrictions for dress code, like spaghetti straps, or what people are allowed to do with their hair. Some of the dress code rules I understand, and some I think are extremely unnecessary.

The main advantage of free bus seating is that it offers more flexibility and convenience for passengers. They can choose to sit in a location that best suits their needs, such as near the front for easy access or near the back for a quieter ride. Additionally, free seating may reduce boarding times and improve passenger flow on the bus.
