I am considering applying to Waldorf preschool, but would like to be able to transfer to Punahou kindergarden in the future.
The atmosphere and curriculum of the school is completely different and I am wondering if I will be able to adjust quickly.
If any of you have had the same experience with your children, I would appreciate it if you would share.

I have a cat and would like to know if you know of a pet hotel or sitter.
We can stay near Ala Moana or a little further away.

Parents of local high school students, do you have a curfew?
I am a parent of a senior citizen child, and since he started driving, if I leave him alone, he doesn't come home until after midnight. Is it too strict for parents to set a curfew for their high school children in the U.S.?

Local School ・ Curfew for High School Students

Problem / Need advice

  • 高校生ママ

I am the mother of a local high school senior.
Since she has been with me, she comes home late every night and sometimes doesn't come home until dawn. When I set a curfew (9:00 on weekdays and 11:00 on weekends), she complains that we are the only American high school students who have a curfew. ?

Also, since he has a girlfriend, his grades have dropped drastically and he has been late for class more often, but he says that he is fine because he has already decided on a university and his tardiness and grades will not be reflected in his future schooling.

How to divide tips between servers and sushi chefs

Question

  • 寿司シェフ向上委員会

  • 2024/02/29 22:37

I would appreciate your opinions on how to divide the tips between the server and the sushi chef at a Japanese restaurant with a sushi counter.
We would like to hear from as many people as possible, even if you are not an experienced server or sushi chef.
Most customers come to a sushi restaurant for great sushi. I don't think there are any customers who come to the restaurant for servers except for their friends. We feel that it is up to the server to provide good sushi and make it better.
Some servers say that all tips should be taken by the server, but I wonder if that is true. ?
The hourly rate is decided by the restaurant based on the experience and work style of the person. One major Japanese restaurant does not mainly do sushi, but they split it 50/50. Please let us know how to make it mutually agreeable. Thank you in advance.

The Japanese restaurant I work at is 7:3.
This has remained the same for the 7 or 8 years I have worked there.
There is a significant difference in hourly wage between kitchen staff and servers, so
I think this is a reasonable ratio ?

Once or twice a year, there is a meeting with the manager, and staff can express their complaints at that time, although they can also make anonymous presentations,
I have not heard any complaints about tips, so I think it is an average ?
.
I'm in the kitchen, but I'm happy with the tips at the restaurants I used to work at, because they were less than they are now.

#3 I think Halo's experience understands employees and
7:3 or 6:4 is fair and best.
I think 5:5 would be unfair.

I think most people decide to tip based on the attitude of the server.

I think that is up to the owner of the restaurant and not the sushi chef or server. I have worked in restaurants with sushi chefs where the sushi chef got a 3% ~ 5% server tip. ( Kitchens are different ) Aloha Hawaiian is right, if you don't like it, I think you should go to a sushi only counter restaurant. Please find a restaurant that you are satisfied with and serves good sushi.

I agree with #2, if you don't agree with the tip ratio, you should quit and find a different place.

At my restaurant, the server tips 85% and the kitchen tips 15%. From the kitchen tips are divided to the sushi chef, kitchen staff, and dishwashers.
The sushi chef gets an extra tip for taking orders and serving the customers at the counter.

Central Union Preschool

Hello. While there have been several posts about preschool,
I would like to take a flight.
I have just received an acceptance letter from Central Union Preschool. There are a few people around me who were dropped on the first announcement but have
received an advanced acceptance notice from Central Union Preschool.
I would like to know how many students are accepted to Punahou and Iolani after preschool. Do some students go from Central Union Preschool to public kinder?
It seems to be called one of the top three schools, but there seem to be a lot of students who have been turned down. … I hear that the rate of students going on to higher education is not so good these days. … I am not sure !
If you have actually had a student attend, graduated, or turned down, please give me your opinion.
Thank you very much.

I am a parent of a child who will be attending Central Union graduation → Punahou/Iolani this year. I decided to post this as a reminder that there is so much false information on this board.

> I was told that only 3 Punahou and 1 Iolani were accepted from Central Union this year, mostly from Public, and the rest from around Mid-Pac, St. Louis and Hongwanji.

> As for the entrance exams to Punahou and Iolani that Topi mentioned, this year, the final results are 4 Punahou and 1 Iolani out of over 60 students.

In terms of CUPS graduation this year, at least this is an absolutely impossible number. This number is totally exceeded by the number I know of in the classes my own children attended. I know of them by name.
I don't know what the purpose of this information was, but I hope that you will not be fooled by false information on an anonymous message board and try to see each school with your own eyes, talk to parents who have/had their children attend, talk to parents who have their children attend Praho/Iolani, etc.

★ Sayaka-san, your children are going to be classmates ! I am looking forward to it !
★ Arisa-san, if you are not sure, I think the best thing is to ask the school. The atmosphere of the school, the teachers and the staff, etc.
I recommend you to see the school and decide for yourself !
★ Arisu-san Congratulations on Punahouiolani. We have confirmed the information with the school after accepting it.
Others have also stated the results of asking the staff and teachers as well, and the numbers are almost the same, including mine, and
I went directly to the Central Union with my husband to ask for this information.
I know several parents of children who graduated from Central Union this year, and they all say the same thing, that only a few of them were accepted
and I don't think Central Union would lie to them ( and in an unfavorable way ).
I also took my child to Central Union because I went on a school tour and found the school very attractive.
I went to the school with a lot of questions because it had so many good points and attractions.
After much deliberation, I decided to go with mid-pack, and it was never my intention to spread disinformation or anything like that.
In fact, I went there and asked them directly.

Sorry, and many others, thanks for the information.
I don't want to get into trouble here, and I don't mean to give false information or anything like that, so I would like to end this topic here.
Thank you so much for all the information and opinions.

I am saddened
by the false information being spread about Central Union.

My child was accepted from Central Union to Punahou.

As far as I know, almost all Japanese from Central Union were accepted to
Punahou and Iolani.

Some joined after graduation from WAIT, so I don't think the school side knows the correct number.

I think
the percentage of students from Central Union going to the two schools is dantt.

I would love to meet you in person and introduce you to all the Japanese who have gotten in.

★ Punahou ・ If you are in Iolani, preschool is
Central Union
★ For exam preparation, Takahashi Juku
( My family went 5 times a week just before the exam. )

★ Mother's correct information gathering and home study

This is not an urban legend or anything but a true story.
I was fortunate to be surrounded by correct information that was not false information
and I took the exam.

Thank you very much😊

Dear Eightlove
I was wondering if it is
impossible for almost all Japanese to be accepted from Central Union …
In fact, my son is disappointed and his classmates are also public at GE, not getting into Punahou or Iolani.
I wonder if you work for Takahashi Juku ?

Anyway, it is your post by eightlove,
all Japanese are accepted ! or Takahashi Juku 5 a week ! or
please stop spreading wrong information.

It is impossible that only Japanese are all accepted
and Central Union is a good preschool, but
please do not spread the path and wrong information.
I don't want to tarnish the impression of this wonderful preschool
from which my son just graduated.

Punahouiolani had a low acceptance this year
because Central Union was a great school.
Central Union does not want an exaggerated evaluation, which is why we have just given an honest reality to prospective students.

That's exactly what you're spreading misinformation …
We were accepted to Midpac but not Punahouiolani
and Japanese classmates around us are also from Public, Midpac and St Andrews.

Japanese, almost no one gets accepted to Punahouiolani ?
Takahashi Juku, urban legend, Central Union for Punahouiolani …
How many years ago was this …

Now we are back to confusing people who are thinking about I don't want to confuse those who are considering preschool. I had two daughters attend Central Union, the younger one graduated this year and the older one two years ago, and there were not that many who were accepted to Punahouiolani !

Now that Central Union is on the school tour
it is not a feeding school. Not ! and it is publicly stated.
You don't have to be so fixated on Punahouiolani and Takahashi Juku …
Eightlove's comment was so far fetched that I had to comment as a parent who actually had my daughter graduate two years ago this year.

Baby lead problems

Problem / Need advice

My child's (2 years old) blood test showed that lead was detected or was in high concentration. \The doctor told me that we live in an old house and that the street was very quiet. The doctor asked us if we lived in an old house, and yes, it was very old. But we painted all the rooms ourselves before we moved in, and we don't touch the walls outside the apartment, and if we do, we wash them immediately.
But my thought is when I wash myself, my kids drink the water from the shower. Is that likely to be the cause if the water pipes are old ? If so, I will immediately switch to a shower with a filter. The first blood test was taken from my finger, and the retest will be directly from my arm, so they will get a more accurate reading.
What if the lead level is still high on the retest ? I'm very concerned because I did some research and found that it can cause learning problems.
