Iolani School disciplines seniors over sexual list targeting female students, staff, sources say
https://www.hawaiinewsnow.com/2026/02/26 /iolani-school-disciplines-seniors-over-sexual-list-targeting-female-students-staff-sources-say/
I saw this news article.
If you know specifics, could you please let us know?
I am wondering how such a problem could have occurred at one of the top schools in Hawaii.

Iolani, you were in the news.
My child also started at Iolani from Kinder and now attends the middle school.
Various students are coming from the middle school, and some of them have surprising language and attitudes that my child is surprised.
As a result, it is the parents' responsibility, but my child feels that there are students who have no morals in the school.
In fact, the school's popularity seems to be declining, and the ratio of students who enter is decreasing year by year.
My child's friendships have continued from Kinder, so she is not thinking about changing schools, but I am concerned.
Especially since the school has students with such poor morals that they are in the news. As a parent, I am worried.
I work at a tutoring center
The "serious Iolani" students are changing in quality these days. I have the impression that Punahou has a stricter school discipline and the students are more solid.
If Iolani banned all devices such as cell phones, Apple watches, tablets, etc. in the school, students would be able to communicate with each other, play physically, and
grow up healthy both mentally and physically. This is a very unfortunate incident.

Dear Mr. News
Thank you for your prompt reply.
I understand that there are various types of students depending on the grade level from which they entered the school, such as from kinder, middle, and so on. I think it is common all over the world, including Japan and the U.S., that some students have serious problems even at the top level schools, but I am a little concerned to hear that Iolani's school culture is changing somewhat. What will happen now? Thank you very much for sharing your valuable story with us.

I have a child in second grade at Iolani and first grade at Punahou.
Honestly, Iolani grows up with no real ability for the child to solve their own problems. Counselors, counselors, counselors, every day the kids talk about it.
The counselors are in on everything and the teachers throw everything to the counselors.
At Punahou, emotional management is built from kinder, and even when kids are fighting or struggling with each other, the teachers talk with them about how they can solve the problem by themselves, and how they can think about how they can help each other feel. I, as a parent, also feel that emotional management is being built. I am planning to have my older son take the Punahou 4th exam this fall.
It is nothing but a shame that students at the adult level, who are about to graduate from high school, do not mind childish bullying and slander as they did this time unless they learn more important things at an early age, not just study and follow the rules of the school.
I felt again that it is not a good environment to grow up relying on counselors for the ability to communicate with people, which is so important in life.

Iolani is a good school. Iolani is a good school, but Punahou is a better school in terms of socialization, the ability to think for oneself, and sharing feelings. As a parent of a student, my impression is that Iolani is a school with many challenges other than academics.

Dear Iolani and Punahou mom
Thank you so much for sharing this very valuable comparative information about your two children enrolled at Iolani and Punahou respectively. I read with great interest.
I assume that when your child took the entrance exam, you as a parent visited the school, researched the school, and carefully considered the compatibility with your child before choosing your child's school. You said that you feel that Iolani is "not good", but were these thoughts not grasped during the school tour prior to enrollment?
Are you saying that you were disappointed in many ways after entering the school, although you did not know this during the school tour and the pre-enrollment information session?
Whether it is a school or a job, I am sure that there are many experiences of students who were disappointed when they actually entered a school that seemed to be good at the information session. I would be very grateful if you could tell us more about Iolani.

I moved from NY to LA around 1971, so the hit song at that time was

This was the song. I had heard about it, but the fact that it hardly rains means that I can ride my Motorcycle everyday. So I took a leap of faith, ate lunch at Famous Star and cheap today's specials at Norms Restaurant in the evening, saved up money throughout the year, and bought a new Storts Star that cost less than a Harley-Davidson Full Dress.

Have you ever had "homesickness （ homesickness ）" when you first arrived here from Japan?

I did. My first time in the U.S. was in the City of New York, where I stayed at the apartment of an older colleague who had come before me. Naturally, I could speak Japanese 24 hours a day, so I felt totally at ease, but I could not stay there for long, so I asked him to choose a suitable rental room from the Rent Room section in the Classified Section of the New York Times or some other local newspaper, and I called him and asked him to show me the room. I called him and asked him to show me the room at that location.

I went to the Iolani group exam the other day. I was told that there were still less than 400 people taking the exam and that last year about 20 people were moved up from the waitlist.
When my older son took the exam last year, he said that only about 10 waitlisted students were moved up each year, so
the child who started attending Kinder this August, who passed both Punahou and Iolani, had a much higher percentage of Punahou choices. The Iolani admissions people were truly surprised that there were less than 400 test takers and
that there were 20 advanced admissions. Was the Iolani boom over after about 2 years? Also, as others have mentioned, the 90% Asian race rate was not a lie. Probably 70% Chinese （ Chinese, Taiwanese, Hong Kong ） and 20-25% Korean, Japanese, Vietnamese, Filipino. For your information.

We also took the Kinder exam last year. We sent our child to a preschool where they were told they had a good chance of getting into Punahou Iolani Kinder.
I did it with a tutor for a year and a half, but neither Punahou nor Iolani was able to make the alternate list. I was very depressed, but from there I started looking for a private school that would accept me. After being rejected from Punahou and Iolani, I contacted HBA and Merinole and was told that both schools had finished announcing their acceptances but had openings, so I went to see the schools.
Kinder, Punahou and Iolani are the only top 2 schools that are competitive. There are many schools that you can get into after Punahou and Iolani are announced. To be honest, I was surprised.
I was disappointed with the results of the Kinder exam, but the one year experience was a great experience for me and my child to work towards a goal together for the first time. We decided not to go to HBA or Merinol, but to go to Public, and we will continue to work together with our child for the 4th exam.
If Punahou had 550 applicants who didn't get into Kinder, I'm convinced that it's too narrow a field for us. I know the pressure is on, but I just want my child to go to the school he wants to go to.

Hanako Yamada is your real name as a Japanese. Hanako Smith is your quasi-real name in the U.S. only. Your passport is the only document that proves that Hanako Yamada and Hanako Smith are the same person. It is because of this passport that Hanako Yamada can call herself Hanako Smith in the U.S.

Even if there is no problem now in the US, the current rules for marriage certificates may change in the future. If the alias is not used anymore, you will have to change everything to Hanako Yamada, such as Grobal Entry, GC, SSN, driver's license, credit cards, etc. In order to do this, you need to process everything before processing your passport. The first step is to change everything to Hanako Yamada before processing your passport.

Thank you for your sympathy and for your replies.

It is really inconvenient and I hope the consulate will update the information. I think that if the IC chip and the name notation in the passport are not the same to begin with, it will not be an official ID. ？ I wonder if the Japanese government did not think of the inconsistency in that area .

I have tried various versions of the name for online purchases as follows.
Hanako Yamada Smith
Hanako YamadaSmith
Hanako Smith

What confused the airport staff in both Japan and the US the least was the >>> on the bottom of the passport. >>>'s name, which was Hanako Yamada.

Has anyone tried removing the alias and had no problem ？ If not, what was the problem ？
Was it easy to change it back ？?

Consulate may be right, but I think you're out of your mind when you put (括弧). It's not normal and weird that it's on even though it confuses people in Japan and in the U.S. ？ (括弧) is not part of a normal name. It's an afterthought.

I am also an international marriage. It's a hassle every time … If you change your name when you get married in the US, it will not match the name on your Japanese transcript. So no matter how you change your name on your passport, you need to check your green card and passport at the counter when you check in for your flight. \If you remove the "Smith" from your passport, you may be required to submit a marriage certificate. In conclusion, I think it is best to leave it as it is.

Were you on health insurance when you became pregnant?
If you gave birth within 6 months of leaving the insurance, you will receive a lump sum. I applied for the lump sum as of 2022, but my friend claimed it from there without going back to Japan temporarily through a relative who was in Japan. For some reason, my friend was refused at first and gave up, but when she applied again around the time of my child's birth, she was approved. By the way, my friend and her husband are not Japanese citizens, but they worked in Japan and moved to another country before the birth of their child.
I believe that you can apply for insurance up to 2 years after the birth of your child. If they had not been insured for more than a year before the birth, I think it would be difficult.

I see you are being posted next month, that's exciting.
I used to work at a factory too, and I used to have lunch at
① a nearby restaurant
② bread from 7-Eleven ・ lunch boxes
③ the factory canteen
I changed these depending on my mood.
Restaurants were often crowded during lunch breaks and meals were not finished within the break time
so we often ate in the factory cafeteria.
Seven's lunch boxes were boring and bad.
I recommend you bring pickled plums, friquettes, rice, instant miso soup, etc.
to change the menu of the factory cafeteria ！.
The factory cafeteria may have a variety of menu items, but
many of them are too spicy, and the menu items that Japanese can order are limited.
Good luck and enjoy your work.
