Editing Hawaiian language (section)

=== Hawaiian medium schools ===
The Hawaiian medium education system is a combination of charter, public, and private schools. K–6 schools operate under coordinated governance of the Department of Education and the charter school, while the pre-K–12 laboratory system is governed by the Department of Education, the [[ʻAha Pūnana Leo]], and the charter school. Over 80% of graduates from these laboratory schools attend college, some of which include Ivy-League schools.<ref>Kimura, L., Wilson, W. H., & Kamanä, K. (2003).

There are two kinds of Hawaiian-immersion medium schools: K–12 total Hawaiian-immersion schools, and grades 7–12 partial Hawaiian immersion schools, the latter having some classes are taught in English and others are taught in Hawaiian.<ref>Wilson, W.

Hale (Eds.), ''The green book of language revitalization in practice'' (p. 147-177). San Diego, CA: Academic Press. &nbsp;</ref> One of the main focuses of Hawaiian-medium schools is to teach the form and structure of the Hawaiian language by modeling sentences as a "pepeke", meaning squid in Hawaiian.<ref>Cook, K. (2000). ''The hawaiian pepeke system. Rongorongo Studies, 10''(2), 46–56.</ref> In this case the pepeke is a metaphor that features the body of a squid with the three essential parts: the poʻo (head), the ʻawe (tentacles) and the piko (where the poʻo and ʻawe meet) representing how a sentence is structured. The poʻo represents the predicate, the piko representing the subject and the ʻawe representing the object.<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Kāhulu Pepeke Relative Clause|url=https://www.hawaiian-study.info/the-relative-clause-kāhulu-pepeke|access-date=2021-11-01|website=www.hawaiian-study.info|language=en}}</ref> Hawaiian immersion schools teach content that both adheres to state standards and stresses Hawaiian culture and values. The existence of immersion schools in Hawaiʻi has developed the opportunity for intergenerational transmission of Hawaiian at home.<ref>Hinton, Leanne (1999-01-01), "Revitalization of endangered languages", ''The Cambridge Handbook of Endangered Languages'', Cambridge University Press, pp. 291–311,{{ISBN|978-0-511-97598-1}}<!--, retrieved 2020-11-17 no url here--></ref>
