Hybrid?
Snacks being passed out in Konia
With the spread of COVID-19’s new Delta variant, is continuing in-person learning on campus the best idea?
Although the vaccination brings a sense of security to many, there are certain contingencies that still make going hybrid or even full distance learning again worthwhile. Running Kamehameha Schools at full capacity was definitely a shot in the right direction, but did the Administration aim a little too high? With busses barely able to shuttle kids to their classes, and students contracting COVID-19 day by day, I would argue that it is frightening going to school not knowing if I’m going to be contact-traced next.
There were only about 500 Coronavirus cases on the week we started school, and before the end of the month, the state had already broken over the 1,000 threshold sending many families in fear for their children to continue going back to school.
While school life attempts to go back to normal, reflected in the revival of sports and clubs, many groups, such as the football team, have already had an outbreak and we have only been in school for a month. If we continue to push boundaries to go back to normal we are risking the health and wellness of our students

Hi, I'm Kaylah, I've been a student at Kamehameha since 7th grade, I'm in Sinfonietta, and I am also the Public Speaking Captain of the Speech and Debate Team. This is my second year on Ka Mōʻī and I couldn't be more excited! I enjoy long walks on the beach as long it's not at the beach and the walk isn't long. I love a good cup of coffee at any time of the day, and I pride myself on being able to sleep for 18 hours straight during my non-existent free time. I've tried every sport known to mankind, but it seems like God had other plans for me. But hey, at least it brought me here to Ka Mōʻī I try to be well versed in the world of politics, and ever since my middle school research project on greenhouse gas emissions Iʻve always made an effort to be up to date on the latest Global Warming press conferences. Is this what it feels like to write a Tinder bio?
