娘が高橋塾に行って、プナホウとイオラニに合格しました。隣に他の生徒がいて気が散ると言う心配をされていますが、実際の受験の時を考えるとその方が訓練になったと思います。ADHD持ちで、集中力にかなりムラがあるのですが、プナホウの受験の時に、グループに分かれてサークルになって作業するテストの時に、同じようなお友達でいつも一緒に騒いでいる子と同じグループになって、かなり心配しました。終わったー(涙)って思ったくらいです。　でも、合格発表されて、アポイントをとってから結果を聞きに行った時に、「隣のお友達が声をかけてきた時に、今はテストだから終わったらお話しようねって言っていた。とメモ書きされてます」と言われました。　泣きそうでした　笑
塗り絵も、これ本当に娘ですか？？？って聞いたくらい、まぁ本当に丁寧に綺麗に塗ってありました。　静かな環境で家庭教師とかだったら、うちの娘みたいなタイプは、きっと無理だったんじゃないかと思います。
プナホウとイオラニではかなりカラーが違うので、色々悩む時期だと思いますが頑張ってください！

Thank you ！
It is wonderful that your daughter was accepted to both schools. Congratulations.
I didn't know that there is a coloring book in the exam … I don't know anything about it
I am in a hurry to send her to the school as soon as possible to gather information and practice for the exam.
How long did your daughter attend Takahashi Juku ？ and how many times a week did she attend ？
Also, I would like to know if there are any practices or studies that would be good for her to do at home.
Sorry for all the questions ！

Excuse me for coming in from the side.
I too have submitted applications to both schools and
am considering submitting GE as well, while wondering if I should send my now 4 year old daughter to Kinder.
＃ 2 Sanae-san, it is amazing that your child was accepted to both schools. ？
We have only 2 months left until the entrance exam date, so it is too late to start cramming （ tears ）
Did you attend Takahashi cram school everyday ？
I have to admit that I started to consider the idea of cram school. （ I was in a hurry because the exam dates for both schools were set soon after I applied. ）
I would also like to know how and when you submitted your recommendation letters.
There was no place in the Revenna and MyPunahou applications to attach them, etc.

Topix ！ sorry for the flight ！

I go to the main lash shop.
It's $ 140 for 100 classic lashes, including tip.

I've been to many places,
I don't know the price in Japan so I can't say, but
I think it's cheaper in Hawaii ？.

My child attends Waialae Charter Elementary School, so I can explain the special features in detail.

① There are no so-called textbooks, and learning is mainly done using printouts and ipads.
➁All classes other than core subjects are taught by a full-time teacher who goes to each classroom. Hawaiiana, Music, Art, Aina, STEAM,
③ There is no so-called gifted and talented program to attract children who can study well. I have the impression that many children are enrolled in the GE program. There are a few students from the Mainland. The overwhelming majority of middle students are from Kaimuki Middle School. The charter middle in Nuuanu is also popular. Of course, there are children who go on to private schools.
④ After-school program （ W ＋ ） is staffed by a full-time, school-appointed staff member who can keep children until 5:30. ＄ 170/month. Sibling discount. Often available when school is not in session （ for an additional fee ）, and there is also a program that provides childcare for about 4 weeks during the 2-month summer vacation. This is great for co-workers as there are many options to keep them at school.
⑤ Compared to other public elementary schools, the new school year starts about 5 days earlier, but the winter break is 3 weeks longer.
⑥ Depending on the homeroom teacher, many classes have only reading homework, making it easier to learn.
⑦ Drop-off and pick-up by car is possible, rarely very congested.
⑧ Experienced staff who connect parents with the school for various questions are available in a timely manner.

I get the impression that the school emphasizes concepts, approaches, and collaboration among students rather than memorization and repetitive drills.
Perhaps because the emphasis is on students with various characteristics learning from each other's strengths, there is a tendency not to evaluate children solely on the basis of whether they can or cannot study, and as a parent who has received a traditional education, you may be concerned because there are few tests or homework assignments However, our students seem to be enjoying school in a relaxed and enjoyable manner.
Perhaps because many parents are eager to educate their children, some parents who feel that their children are lacking in studies send them to Kumon or provide them with private tutors.

Parent-led activities are also very active, and opportunities abound for parents who want to get involved in school events.

It is a good idea to go to the school's information sessions to get a feel for the atmosphere. When I attended one, I was impressed by the principal who said, "Wai'alae is a public school like a private school. In the end, I decided that I liked the atmosphere of the school and I was sure that my child would be happy to attend. My kids have thanked me （ lol ）.

Bunbuku Chagama
Thank you very much for your kind and detailed explanation.
Wai'alae Charter Elementary School is very attractive ！
It is very valuable to hear from actual students, so thank you very much for taking the time to explain the school in detail. ！
I would like to attend an information session and see the atmosphere of the school.

In my case, I talked to mothers who had older children and also went on a tour of schools I was interested in. I think you should go on a tour. School events （ such as funfairs ） are open to everyone, not just current students and others involved, so I think you should go.

Thank you ！ Is the tour something you ask the school for personally ？ or is there a call for group tours ？
I see there is a funfair. I did a search and found past events so I don't want to miss this year's.

Dear Topic

｢ Sean0914, did you gather information by talking to someone who attended the school ？
or did you visit the school staff room ？ ｣

#3?


We attended school fairs, checked out the atmosphere and programs, and
talked to parents before deciding on GE. \cHB2}

I gathered information when I attended the fair.

In my son's case,
the school he crossed over to had a lot of homework anyway to keep his level up, and I think it was pitiful ？.
However, I really appreciated the Japanese class in the class.
but now I have forgotten all about it.

You can call directly to the school you are interested in and ask about both the funfair and the school tour. The office is busy in the morning, so about a somewhat calmer time. We had one school that we removed from our GE list just because the office staff was so arrogant. We took our kids to both the fair and the school tour, and decided on both Elementary and Middle based on the school's surroundings and our kids' reactions as our first priority.

Visits are scheduled on a specific date and time for each school.
There is an orientation at that time, and the principal will talk to you about the school's features and what they focus on. In addition to the funfair, there are other events such as Halloween that outsiders are free to attend, so please go there.

Experience.
I waited over 2 years ！ I couldn't believe it ！
I had to go renew my drivers license every year for 2 years because my green card was expired … It was really hard.

If you call USCIS and say Lost number, it should connect you to a person in charge. My friend got connected right away, but I had to call several times before I finally got through. After explaining the situation, they will start the process of renewing your renewal acceptance letter again. You will be contacted by a representative in a few weeks to a month … I believe it was via email.
Go to the office around Kakaako on the day of your appointment and they will stamp your passport for renewal on the spot.

In my case, I received my green card just in time for the renewal date.

I don't know if it will connect since it was a few years ago, but please try it once and I wish you a speedy delivery of your green card ！

I work at the school my child attends.

I worked in the tourism industry until I gave birth, but left after the birth to raise my child as a stay-at-home mom. I started looking for a job when my child started kinder. Working at a school is very easy for me while raising my child because I can take weekends, holidays, and spring, summer, fall, and winter off.

Until my kids went to pre, I worked from home plus nights. I had a sales job that allowed me to work short hours after my husband, who worked full time, came home. It was a time when I didn't have the luxury of being too choosy about what I did.

After I was able to send my child to pre, I was able to get a job that I wanted to do and that allowed me to utilize my skills. Although the working environment is client-driven, I feel very secure in my mentality while raising my children. Good luck ！

If you don't mind my asking, I would like to ask what kind of work you do at the school. If it is a public school, did you find the position on the DOE website and apply for it? ？ I have called the school directly and was told that they could not help me and that I would have to apply for the position if it was available.

If the school you are interested in is hiring, you can apply on their website with your name, address, educational background, and work experience. After that, I was contacted directly by the school for an interview by phone and email. （ I also received a letter from DOE accepting my application. ） After interviewing with the principal and his office, I was informed about the background check and TB test, and then I had to complete all those procedures and wait for the school to contact me again.

Honey bee, I think it would be a good idea to describe your internet usage.
The speed you need will depend on how many people are using it, whether you do streaming, etc.

By the way, I am in an old apartment in the McCully area, so I don't have access to HT's blazing fast connection, 50 Mbps (about 20 Mbps actual), but it is fast enough for watching YouTube by myself.
The price would be $ 70 or so for the regular service, but when I told them that Spectrum's service with the same speed was $ 25, they discounted it to $ 30.

We switched to T-mobile internet this year. We used to use Spectrum or Hawaiian Telcom internet, but both of these companies become expensive after the 2 year promotion period, but T-mobile has ＄ 40 ～ ＄ 50 with no extra fee. It seems like this price is still the same after all these years. We consistently get 200Mbps speeds at home. Other than that, the best thing about T-mobile is that I can set it up myself without having to call a technician to set it up. I can take it home and set it up and try it out for 15 days to test speeds, etc.

I have been using HT for almost 20 years. Formerly in Makiki and now in Ala Moana.HT has a lot of problems to say the least. When my neighbors get up in the morning or come home from work and everyone else is using the internet, it cuts out quite frequently （, stays offline for 30 minutes at worst, or mumbles finely about 30 times an hour ）, and the speed becomes extremely slow and unusable. So last year, I asked them to increase my Mbps, but the person in charge did not show up at the appointed time, so I made a new appointment, but that day also ended up with no show. During that time, I had no internet for about two weeks, which was really inconvenient for me because it interfered with my work. I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that an acquaintance's father had worked for HT for a long time, but switched to Spectrum right after he retired because he still had many problems with the internet. However, the good thing about HT is that the price is negotiable, so you can get a much lower price ？. 566>" and they will give you a surprisingly low price. If you still feel that the price is too high, they have a loyalty ・ discount, which allows you to get a further discount under the authority of the person answering the phone, so if you push again, they will give you an even lower price.
