U.S. Sen. Daniel K. Inouye visited students in Justine Fonte's seventh-grade math class at Aiea Intermediate School today as a participant in Teach for America Week. The senator fielded a variety of questions, from what schools he attended (mostly public schools) to his stand on bringing the Pro Bowl back to the Islands (students should start a petition to convince the NFL).
