I just went the other day ！ highly recommended ！
I purchased a Kama'aina ticket, they checked my ID. I think you will have to buy a regular price if only you are a kama'aina and your family does not have a Hawaii state ID.

Thank you very much, Cirque du Soleil.
Yes, there was an ID check at the entrance, some people said just show the QR code and others said you need an ID, so the information from those who have recently been there was very helpful.
When purchasing online, it is a bit of a hassle to have to split the purchase into two separate purchases, one for my wife and I at Kama'aina and one for the two of us from Japan at the regular price.

Thank you very much.

Hello. I am the mother of a child who has been a student at Central Union for 2 years, graduated this May, and is now attending Kinder.
Regarding enrollment, we were also unable to get into the preschool that was our first choice, and we waited for a while for an alternate to come forward, but none came.
I was told to come and see the school, so I went to see the school, filled in the application form, and was admitted.
There is an examination, but it seems that all applicants on the alternate list are notified of their acceptance by March or April. Looking at the situation
where we were able to get in because there were still openings on it, I think the exam is only ostensibly a performance thing.

Kinder exams, but I think that almost all Punahou took the exam, which is really not an exaggeration to say all of them, and about 80% of Iolani took the exam as well.
Punahou was by far the most popular. We all wear Tutor and I go to Tutor almost 3-4 days a week.
Central Union is not a feeder school, but a preschool where all the children go to take the Kinder exam
where the families who send their children to the school wear Tutor, go to cram school, and attend IQ Math classes in Kahala.

I do think the acceptance rate was low this year. There are quite a few children in my child's class who are currently attending Public.
Unfortunately, we were not accepted to Punahou and Iolani, so we have started attending another private school.

I hear that the feeder schools to Punahou and Iolani now are St. Clements and Unity School, which are very academic.
I think Central Union and Waiokeola are out of the three feeder families. That may lead to them all being accepted, and there being enough openings to accept them at any time without having to take the test. The Montessori community is another pedagogy, and we don't hear much about kinder exams. However, I do hear that children raised in early childhood with Montessori methods
have higher academic achievement. I don't know if this is true or not. It may or may not be a good fit.
When we contacted them, Montessori was full and they would not even let us wait for a substitute.

If you are considering taking the Kinder exam, St. Clements or Unity School will do academics in preschool. However,
if you don't start tutoring and attending cram school at least one year before the exam, it will be difficult to take the Punahou or Iolani exam after Korona.
As someone else mentioned, in the year of our children who are currently in kinder, there were 663 students in Punahou and 403 in Iolani.
The sad reality is that 500 Punahou and 300 Iolani were not accepted.

No matter which preschool you go to, it depends on how much you can prepare for the exam at home, so I think you should visit the preschool and see for yourself.

My second child is currently attending Central Union. We are in the middle of an entrance exam right now.
It's pretty bleak right now. ！ Some mothers are trying to get the upper hand by directly asking the mothers of the children who finished their exams early.
Probably all of them are taking the exam again this year.
My oldest son also took the Kinder exam last year at Central Union, but he did not pass the top two schools and is a public school. Our policy is that the top two schools are worth it to get into private, but if not, go to the top public school ！. Of course, we will let them take the test in 4th grade and middle.
Last year when my oldest son took the test, I think there were about 15 kids from Central Union who were accepted to Punahou. Within Central Union alone, 40-50 were rejected.
There are a lot of kids who went to Public, including ours.

Regarding your question about how to enter Central Union, there is indeed an exam. However, it is said that all students are accepted, so even if you are on the waitlist, you will be accepted.
If you ask whether it is academic or not, I am at a loss to answer. It is not that academic preschool.
Everyone sends their children to Takahashi Juku, other Tutor, IQ, etc., so the academic part is actually supplemented there.
For your information.

Thank you both for your comments. It seems that Central Union is not a feeding school to Punahou after all. I understand.
The acceptance rate is not that high, although all students take the exam. I am glad that I could see the reality and not believe the old rumors. Thank you very much. I have the impression that you don't have to worry much about the entrance exam. I contacted the school and they told me that they have been giving acceptance letters to all students for the past several years. I have submitted my application, but I am not sure if I will actually take the test. I have St. Clements and Unity School as my first choice, and if they all pass, I may try to take the exam as a suppression since the location is close to my home.
I appreciate your valuable feedback. Thank you very much.

Two years ago, my husband and I, who had no knowledge of preschool entrance exams, had no idea that Central Union had exams, so we contacted Central Union in June, two months before school started, to enroll our daughter at age 3. I was told, "Come on in August ！ I will send you a form to fill out with your application and bank account" and with one phone call I was in. lol

She has been there for 2 years since then and this year she is attending another school in Kinder.
I didn't even know there was an exam, one phone call, one paper, and I got in and graduated ！ I think almost all the families at Punahou took the exam and 80-90% of the families at Iolani did.
However, this year, not many children from Central Union were accepted into Kinder, both Punahou and Iolani.

Unfortunately, it is not a feeder school now. However, Punahou's Baccalaureate is held annually at Central Union. Central Union Preschool → Punahou → Central Union Cathedral at graduation is a special one!

・ I'm not sure I understand the thinking behind the figure that often sees Prius being bought and sold = lower popularity

.
Prius is not a rare car, and there are quite a few on the road everywhere.
If the population is large, they are more likely to be seen in the market...? Buying and selling has been common for a long time and I don't think it will change now.

It is popular in the used car market because of the large number of units sold. As long as the hybrid battery is OK, you can save money on gasoline and maintenance costs. You can change the transmission oil and do it yourself without changing the filter. The problem is that the generator replacement costs about $6,000 and the hybrid battery replacement costs several thousand dollars, but if you replace the battery yourself, it will only cost a little over $2,000. I can sell it for more than any other car. I guess that means I can sell it for more than other cars, so I'll get my balls out of it.

The current administration has instituted a fine of $ 1000 per day for illegal aliens. If you are arrested by ICE and deported, this fine plus a semi-permanent ban from entering the US will be imposed. However, if you voluntarily return to your home country through the CBP ONE app, the fine will be waived and you will be provided with a free airline ticket. There is also a possibility that you may be allowed to enter the U.S. in the future. For more information, please visit DHS.gov.

>KAN, if you know, I was wondering if it is possible to refuse payment for a civil compensation award in the first place ？
Even if （ it might be difficult in this case, ） I was wondering if I could go through an attorney to get my wages and bank accounts seized through an attorney,
I thought that would be unobjectionable.

＃ Hello 4 Saba.
The process of garnishment, 👇
if the other party is uninsured, you can garnish the bank account, but you must first win the case in court and get a final judgment. If the other party does not pay after the judgment, it is possible to file a motion for garnishment and seize the other party's bank account and wages to receive payment.
Process to seize bank accounts
Filing a lawsuit: If the other party does not pay, file a lawsuit in court.
Fixation of judgment in favor: If you win the case and the judgment becomes final, you will obtain a "title of obligation".
Filing a petition for seizure: Based on the final and binding judgment （ and the title of obligation ）, a petition for seizure is filed with the court.
Identification of property: It is necessary to identify the property （ such as bank accounts ） of the party to be seized.
Execution of garnishment: the court will send a notice of garnishment to the bank, etc., and you can collect the deposit directly.

There is a huge amount of time, effort and hard work involved in the process up to this point.
So although legally it is possible to seize accounts, I don't think many people actually go through with it. Lawyers' fees will also be quite expensive. It will probably exceed the amount of damage.

In Hawaii, UM is not mandatory, but the coverage has to be Offered. So it's obvious that you're paid since you're also adding UM to your policy. If you have trouble understanding what the insurance company is talking about, ask the agent you bought the insurance from ？
The insurance company can't pay until they assess the damage, so you shouldn't have to wait until they assess the repairs.　Does your insurance not cover rental cars ？?

#9 Dear Outs
We told our insurance company that Uninsured Motorists Coverage is included in our insurance plan, but they told us that UM is not available in the state of Hawaii. I asked ？ what we were paying UM for then, and they replied that if we were seriously injured in an accident, UM would cover our medical expenses depending on the extent of our injuries.

The car is already at the repair shop.
What does rental car coverage mean ？ is a loaner car while the car is not available?

Thank you for the clear explanation

My car was hit and I contacted my insurance company first. I was told that my insurance did not have collision coverage and that I could use the Tow Truck on my policy, but that I would have to do the repairs myself.

I had insurance for the rental car
Thank you all!

If you stay at an MGM Group hotel, you can come and go free of charge with your room key at any of the Group's hotels as long as you pay the parking fee at the hotel where you are staying.
It is free until midnight on the day you check out.
No matter where you eat, it is expensive.
I think you should just decide on a good restaurant and head there.
