All knowledge not found in one school

In the article "Response to Trustee Kealoha eolumn" (in Nov.'95 KWO) Bishop Estate trustee Richard S. Wong wrote "Our [KSBE] study confirmed what has been a matter of trustee discussion for many years: Kamehameha is most effective in improving the education achievement of Hawaiians when Hawaiian students are taught in Kamehameha facilities by Kamehameha teachers using Kamehameha curriculum." I chuckled at that statement because when I attended Kamehameha Schools for the Summer Explorations Program, one of my teachers taught me a wise saying: " 'A'ohe i pau ka 'ike i ka hālau ho'okāhi." It means, not

all knowledge is found in one school. Do I hear a contradiction? Who should I believe, teacher or trustee? What my teacher told me is true: not all knowledge is found in one school. Matthew Kawika Ortiz Lā'ie
