Ua kūʻai mai ke kula Maui i 300 ʻeke liʻiliʻi i kēia makahiki e laka mākēneki ʻia ke hoʻokomo ʻia ke kelepona i loko, wahi a Michael Stubbs, ke poʻo kula. Hoʻokomo nā haumāna kula kiʻekiʻe i nā kelepona i loko o nā ʻeke ma kinohi o ka lā, a hiki ke wehe ʻia ma ka ʻauinalā ma o kekahi wahi wehe i mālama ʻia e nā kumu ma ko lākou mau lumi. 

I kēia wā, ke holo pono nei ka hana. Wahi a nā kumu, emi aku ka nui o ka lalau ʻana ma kēia makahiki, a nui aʻe ke kūkākūkā ʻana ma waena o nā haumāna, wahi a Stubbs. Ua kūʻai mai ke kula i nā pāʻani, e laʻa ʻo Connect 4 me Jenga, i hiki i nā haumāna ke pāʻani ma ka wā hoʻomaha. 

“Emi aku ka mehameha,” wahi āna. 

Ua pāpā ʻo Nānākuli High and Intermediate i nā kelepona lawe lima ma nā lumi papa i kēia makahiki, akā, hiki ke hoʻohana ʻia nā kelepona ma ka ʻaina awakea. (Anthony Quintano/Civil Beat/2017)

Pilikia nā kula Ჹɲʻ he nui i ka hoʻēmi ʻana i ko nā haumāna hoʻohana ʻana i nā kelepona, kuhi lākou i nā lalau lapuwale ma ka papa a me ka hopena ʻino a ka pāpaho pilikanaka ma luna o ke olakino noʻonoʻo o nā ʻōpio. 

Ua ʻāpono i nā kānāwai e pāpā ʻia ai nā kelepona lawe lima ma ka lumi papa, a ua hāpai nā mokuʻāina he 12 i nā pila e hōʻemi ʻia ai ka hoʻohana kelepona ʻana ma ke kahua kula. Ma Ჹɲʻ nei, wahi a nā ʻōkuhi aʻoaʻo mai ke mai, hiki i nā haumāna ke hoʻohana i nā ʻenehana uila ma hope o ka ʻae ʻana o ke kumu. 

He ea ko nā poʻo kumu ma ka haku ʻana i nā kulekele i pili i ka hoʻohana kelepona, a hiki iā lākou ke hoʻomana i nā kumu e koho i ke ʻano e hoʻohana ʻia ai nā ʻenehana uila e nā haumāna ma ka papa. ʻO ka mea maʻamau, kāpae nā kula i nā kelepona a mālama ʻia nā hālāwai makua ke ʻaʻe pinepine nā haumāna i ke kānāwai a ke kumu. 

I ka makahiki 2005, ua kūkākūkā ko Ჹɲʻ Papa Luna Hoʻonaʻauao i ka pāpā kelepona ʻana ma nā kula aupuni a pau o ka pae ʻāina, akā, ʻaʻole i koho ʻia pēlā ma muli o ka hopohopo i nā haumāna ma ka wā pōpilikia, inā hiki iā lākou ke hoʻohana kelepona ma ia wā. ʻAʻole i kūkākūkā hou ka papa luna i nā papahana like mai kēlā manawa aku. 

Wahi a nā kumu a me nā luna, ʻo ka hoʻēmi ʻana i ka hoʻohana kelepona ma ka lā, hiki ia hana ke hoʻēmi i ke kaukaʻi ʻana i kā lākou ʻenehana, a hiki hoʻi ke hoʻomohala ʻia nā hana e ʻoi aʻe ai ke olakino. Akā, nui nā kānaka e ʻaelike, he palena kikoʻī ko ka pāpā ʻana, a pono i nā kula me nā ʻohana ke hana i nā mea ʻē aʻe ma ke aʻo ʻana aku i nā haumāna e hoʻohana kūpono i ka ʻenehana a me ka pāpaho pilikanaka ma waho aʻe o ke kula. 

“He kōkua ke kulekele,” wahi a Sarah Milianta-Laffin, he kumu ma ʻIlima Intermediate School. “Akā, he kuleana ko kākou ma ke aʻo ʻana aku i kēia mau keiki e hoʻohana i kēia mau ʻenehana me ke kūpono.” 

Ka Hoʻokele ʻAna I Nā Kulekele Kelepona Hou

Ma Nānākuli High and Intermediate School, ua hoʻomaka ʻia ka makahiki me kekahi kānāwai hou: pāpā ʻia nā kelepona, ʻaʻole e hoʻohana ʻia ma ka lumi papa. Ma mua, ʻokoʻa nā kulekele kelepona i kēlā me kēia lumi papa, wahi a Chloe Kitsu, he kumu, ʻo ia hoʻi ka mea nāna i ʻāpono i nā haumāna e waiho i ke kelepona me ke alo i lalo, a i ʻole, e hoʻohana ʻia ke pau ka haʻawina. 

Ua hopohopo mua ʻo Kitsu, e nuku pinepine ana ʻo ia i nā haumāna e kāpae i nā kelepona, a i ʻole, e noi pinepine mai ana ʻo ia i nā luna e hōʻea a lawe aku i nā kelepona mai ka lumi papa. Akā, ua hōʻihi ka hapa nui o nā haumāna i ke kānāwai hou, wahi a Kitsu, ʻoiai, ʻae ʻia lākou e hoʻohana i nā kelepona ma ka ʻaina awakea a me ka wā ma waena o nā papa. 

“Inā ua haʻi mai ʻoe iaʻu i hoʻokahi makahiki aku nei: e emi ana nō ka nui pilikia i pili i ke kelepona, ʻaʻole nō wau e piliwi iā ʻoe,” wahi a Kitsu. “Eia naʻe, he mea maikaʻi wale nō kaʻu i ʻike ai.” 

Pau ka lā kula kiʻekiʻe ma Kīhei Charter School i ka wehe ʻana i nā ʻeke mākēneki e loaʻa ai nā kelepona. Pono i nā haumāna kula waena ke waiho i nā kelepona ma nā pahu laka kūikawā ma ko lākou mau papa liuliu ponoʻī. (Courtesy: Kihei Charter School)

Ma ka pae kula haʻahaʻa hoʻi, maʻa nā haumāna like ʻole i ka hoʻohana kelepona a me ke kaʻana aku i nā ʻenehana me nā hoa, wahi a Bebi Davis, ke poʻo kumu o Kaʻiulani Elementary School. Kauoha ʻo ia i nā haumāna e waiho i nā kelepona ma kā lākou ʻeke kula, a kāpae ʻo ia i nā ʻenehana ke ʻaʻe ʻia ke kānāwai o nā kumu. 

I kekahi mau manawa, uluhua nā mākua a me nā haumāna i ka hiki ʻole ke kelekiko aku kekahi i kekahi ma ka lā kula, wahi a Davis, akā, hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia i nā ʻohana, hiki iā lākou ke kūkākūkā me kā lākou mau keiki ma o ke kelepona ʻana aku i ke keʻena mua. 

ʻO ke kula ʻo ʻIolani, he kula uku ma Honolulu nei, ke hoʻoikaika nei i kāna mau kulekele i pili i ke kelepona no nā haumāna oʻo iki. He mea hou ma kēia makahiki: koi ʻia nā haumāna mai ka papa ʻehiku a i ka papa ʻeiwa e waiho i nā kelepona ma nā ʻeke a i ʻole i nā pahu laka a kani ka pele hope loa, akā, hiki naʻe i nā haumāna mai ka papa 1o aʻe ke hoʻohana i nā ʻenehana ponoʻī e like me ka makemake. 

Koi ʻē ke kula i nā haumāna mai ka papa mālaaʻo a i ka papa ʻeono e waiho i ke kelepona no ka lā holoʻokoʻa, wahi a Timothy Cottrell, ke poʻo kula.  

Wahi a Cottrell, ʻo ke olakino noʻonoʻo o nā haumāna, ʻo ia nō ka mea nui e ʻeuʻeu aʻe ai ke kulekele hou a ke kula i kēia makahiki. Emi aku ka nui manawa e pili ai nā haumāna me nā hoa, a ʻoi aku ka nui manawa e hoʻohālikelike ai lākou kekahi i kekahi ma ko lākou wā e hoʻohana ana i nā kelepona a me ka pāpaho pilikanaka, wahi āna. 

Ua hōʻike mai , ʻo ka hoʻohana nui ʻino ʻana i ka pāpaho pilikanaka a me nā kelepona lawe lima, hiki i ia mau mea ke hana ʻino i ke olakino o nā haumāna, a ʻo ke emi ihola nō ia o ka hiamoe pono a me ka haʻaheo o ka haumāna. 

ʻAʻole hiki i ke kula ke hoʻopololei i ka hoʻohana kelepona ʻana o nā haumāna ma waho o ke kula, akā, lana nō kona manaʻo, e kōkua ana ke kelekule i ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana o nā haumāna e hana kūpono i nā ʻenehana me ke kālele ʻana i nā pilina he alo a he alo a me nā hana hoʻoikaika kino ma ka nohona. 

“He hoʻolauna kēia i ka hoʻokonukonu ʻana, i mea e maikaʻi ai ka pilina o lākou me ka ʻenehana,” wahi a Cottrell. 

Pono Paha Ke Aʻo, ʻAʻole Ka Pāpā

I loko nō o ka pāpā ʻia ʻana o ke kelepona ma nā kula he nui, ke hoʻolahilahi nei kekahi i nā kānāwai kelepona ma o ka manaʻo o nā haumāna a me ka uluhua o nā limahana. 

I nā makahiki i hala aku nei, pāpā ʻia nā kelepona ma ʻIlima Intermediate ma nā wahi lehulehu, e laʻe ka hale waihona puke a me ka hale ʻaina, wahi a Milianata-Laffin. Nui ka manawa i kāpae aku ai ka hui mākaʻi kula i nā kelepona, wahi a ke kumu, a mau nō ka nānā ʻana o nā haumāna i ka pāpaho pilikanaka i loko o ka papa. 

Ua ʻāpono ke kula i nā haumāna e hoʻohana i nā kelepona ma ka ʻaina awakea a me ka wā hoʻomaha, me ka manaʻolana, e waiho ana lākou i nā ʻenehana ma ka papa. 

“He kōkua iki ke kulekele hou, akā, hūnā kekahi mau keiki i ke kelepona ma hope o ka ʻeke kua a i ʻole ma lalo o ke pākaukau ma ka papa,” wahi a Milianta-Laffin. Hiki i nā luna ke kāpae i nā ʻenehana ke noi ke kumu pēlā, akā, he paʻakikī ka hoʻomau ʻole ʻana i ka hana paʻa a ka haumāna. 

“Ua like nō ia me Whac-A-Mole,” wahi a Milianta-Laffin.

Ke aʻo aku nei ʻo Punahou i nā haumāna e hoʻohana kūpono i ka pāpaho pilikanaka me ka ʻenehana, wahi a Michael Latham, ke pelekikena kula, ma kahi hanana ʻohana i pili i ke kūpono o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ke kelepona a me ka ʻenehana. (Megan Tagami/Civil Beat/2024)

Ma kekahi hanana ʻohana i mālama ʻia aku nei ma ke kula ʻo Punahou no nā kelepona lawe lima, ua kūkākūkā nā mākua i nā nīnau like ʻole i pili i ka nānā ʻana i ka hoʻohana pāpaho pilikanaka a me ke kau kānāwai ʻana no ka hoʻohana kelepona ma ka hale. 

Ua kākoʻo ka hapanui o nā mākua i ke koho a ke kula e kāpae i nā kelepona ma ka lumi papa o nā kula kiʻekiʻe, wahi a Pelekikena Michael Latham. Akā, ke hana pū nei ke kula me nā ʻohana ma ke aʻo ʻana aku i nā keiki i ka hopena a ka pāpaho pilikanaka ma luna o ke olakino noʻonoʻo, a me ka hoʻohana kūpono ʻana i ke kelepona ma waho o ke kula, wahi a Latham. 

“I loko nō o kekahi pāpā ʻokoʻa ʻana, ʻaʻohe hiki ke hoʻoponopono i ka mea e hana ʻia ke pau ka lā kula,” wahi a Latham. “Inā ʻaʻole aʻo ʻia kēia mau hopena he pilikanaka a he walohia, a me nā hana e hoʻokonukonu ʻia ai ka hoʻohana ʻana, ʻaʻole e lawelawe pono ʻia ana nā haumāna.” 

ʻO Deborah Bond-Upson, ka pelekikena o a me ka luna kūikawā o ka Hui for Excellence in Education, ua ʻōlelo maila ʻo ia, e kākoʻo ana ʻo ia i kahi kulekele aupuni e kāpae ʻia ai ke kelepona ma ka lumi papa. Akā, wahi āna, pono i nā kumu ke kōkua hou ʻia i mea e kō ai kēia pāpā ʻana, a pono i ke kula ke hoʻohui i kēia mau kānāwai me nā haʻawina hou i pili i ka hoʻohana kūpono ʻana i ka ʻenehana no ke aʻo ʻana, ʻaʻole no ka hana ʻino ʻana. 

“Pono iā kākou ke noʻonoʻo me ke akamai i pili i ka ʻenehana,” wahi āna. 

ʻO kā Civil Beat kūkala nūhou ʻana i pili i ka hoʻonaʻauao, ke uku ʻia nei e kekahi haʻawina kālā maiā Chamberlin Family Philanthropy.
