Frustration Grows Among Hawaii Parents Who Aren’t Ready To Send Their Kids Back To Class … The DOE has mandated that all schools be fully open in the fall, but many families want their kids to still attend classes remotely.

Second, she quit her job as a nurse to stay at home full time and assist her autistic son, then in fourth grade at Pearl Harbor Elementary, with remote learning.
