Linda Lingle would leverage random drug testing for teachers for them to receive a manini pay raise. She actually believes this is going to improve education? If we want to see a comprehensive improvement in education in Hawai'i, drug-test the parents, particularly those who show signs that they can't take care of their children. Teachers have students for approximately six hours a day. What is going on in the other 18? Olivia Cockcroft Kapoho, Hawai'i - --- MAP posted-by: Richard Lake
