This afternoon I interviewed Mama Fuj, also know as Miss. Fujimoto, for her perspective on our problems here at Kamehameha. Mama Fuj has been with our school for many years and talked about changes that she has seen and changes that she thinks need to be made. One of her main concerns for this school is our communication. Mama feels that we communicate on a one way track with admin talking to us but student and faculty not getting to really talk to them. She made a suggestion that we spend more time getting to know each other on a friend to friend basis vs. student to teacher. Mama suggested that we create families with two students from each grade all the way down to our lower campuses as well hopefully deceasing the separation between us. Mama also talked about creating a rec center for upper campus students to go and show/share our talents with others when we have free periods because the only place right now is Midkiff. Although all these issues are important and worth taking the time to resolve, for our little physics group it would be hard for us to solve them and even harder to find a way that solves it though physics. Some of mama's other ideas were a little bit more within our range. She said that in middle school they catch the water from the air conditioners and use it to water their plants. Mama also said that we should collect the fallen fruit on campus and donate them to homeless shelters in stead of just letting them go to waste, or make a worm bins to compost our wasted food instead of just throwing it away. These were all super great ideas Mama gave us and i'm excited to share them with my group and to interview some other teachers as well.
