Interview #2 & #3

In the last week, our group was struggling to find a (physics-related) problem, let alone solution on campus. However, on thursday we started to really kick-off our project by actually being productive and interviewing Mr. Kamalu down the hall (See Interview #1). Also on Thursday I had the opportunity to interview my math teacher, Mrs. Gusman. She had really general concerns i.e. traffic and parking up at the school. And though this does affect many, if not all people at Kamehameha during school hours, it's not "physics appropriate", nor can it be remotely possible for a group of teenagers and their enthusiastic physics teacher to construct a parking facility on upper campus with the time constraints we're working with. Lastly, although we didn't get the opportunity to speak with Kumu Auli'i, a new teacher at Kamehameha, I had the chance to contact her briefly through email. She stressed that there has to be a greater sense of communication of all forms on campus, especially from administration to the staff below. Apart of this, she says has to come from improving relationships."If every one could have more faith in our students and teach them how to make/pick good choices than we could all benefit from their actions. As it stands now, I feel that we need to improve our relationships with one another. Our students can listen to teachers and the students would be more willing to listen to them in return." I feel that Kumu has a really great point that there needs to be a greater sense of trust with the staff and students, yet again, the physics criteria doesn't fit into this problem.
