Basically, it is impossible, but it is possible that if the company he is doing business with is located in Japan and he receives remuneration in Japan, he does not have to file an April 15 tax return for $ less than 10,000 per year, but for $ more than 10,000, there may be problems later on. I think there will be a problem later on.

Don't report a person just because you see him or her, but report him or her to an immigration agent when you know for sure that he or she earns more than $ 10,000, otherwise, you may be suspected and you may also incur a grudge against him or her.

He said there's ice cream in Joshua Tree. He's not a ranger.
I went there the other day and right after I paid the park entrance fee, there was an ice cream checkpoint.
I showed them my green card. They also asked about the relationship of the passenger.
He said he doesn't have one at all times now. They also looked at my car's license plate number.
I was surprised that they were also doing checkpoints at the south entrance and exit on the I-10 side.

Iolani finally got under 400 students
As someone who will be taking the test next year, I'm glad to see that the ratio has decreased.
Punahou is my first choice, but if I get in, I am hoping that both schools are good.
I know that Punahou and Iolahou have the same available birthdays from this year.
Iolani seems to have 40 people and waitlists, so I have high hopes ！

Even so, 693 people at Punahou was a surprise, and I applaud the kids who got in ！ I thought 550 people failed, which is horrible … almost everyone failed.

The kids who got both Punahou and Iolani are … well, they are geniuses ！

＃ 127 Puna
Punahou had a "June - August" birthday set long before last year. My son is a 3rd grader now, and he already had the same birthday set at that time.
Iolani has been adjusting to Punahou since this year.
I was lucky that the number of examinees was reduced due to the Korona disaster when my son was there ！ but the number of examinees was over 500.
My younger daughter took the Kinder exam last year, and I remember being surprised on the day of the group exam by the surprisingly large number of people who took the exam.
As a result, it was a fierce battle of 693 applicants, and we thought we might do well since our oldest son is already in Punahou, but unfortunately
our oldest daughter didn't even make the wait list. It's a harsh reality!

We were able to confirm last year's Kinder exam details for your reference ！

Punahou had 150 successful applicants, 20 waitlisted, and 693 examinees.
Iolani had 96 successful candidates, 40 waitlisted, and 403 examinees.

These numbers are from last year's Kindergarten （ Kindergarten ） entrance exam. Acceptance ・ information that was officially shared with waitlist families and is a reliable number （ The number of waitlisted students was also included in the waitlist notification email ）.

Including waitlist numbers ：
• Punahou ： 150 + 20 = 170 total slots
• Iolani ： 96 + 40 = 136 total slots

Recruitment Although the number of slots themselves is not significantly different, Punahou has a much higher number of applicants, which means that the acceptance rate is lower and competition is more intense.

Last year, Punahou passed 4 students from the waitlist and Iolani passed 16 students from the waitlist.
Both schools had very competitive admissions.

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.

As an addendum, Montessori Community School also admits anyone from Kinder. It is said that every year about 20-30 students are accepted from Kinder, but only one is admitted or not.
Currently, the school said that there are not 10 students per grade level. Moreover, they divide the under 10 students into two classes, so there are less than 5 students in the same grade. I declined because the number of students is too small for my child's education, academic competitiveness, and non-academic nurturing environment, but Kinder and Elementary are one of the schools that you can get into if you apply. Pre is very popular and seems to be hard to get into.

Last year my son was accepted to a Montessori community school, Kinder. About 13 people from my son's pre took the test and all were accepted, but none of them were admitted. The reason is still the facilities in the school building are almost nothing. There is no library, no music, no art, not even a schoolyard, and the place to do PE is in a small concrete space ？ parking ？. The public facilities are better than the private ones and the school is not worth paying for the private ones.
I think that's why the number of students is quite small. …
They claim to be multi-age, but I heard from a parent of a 3rd grader who lives in the same townhouse that unless they are multi-age, there are only 7 students in each grade, and they are all elementary students with siblings.
I heard that until around the time of the Corona Disaster, the percentage of students who passed Punahouiolani was 80%, but in the last few years, the school stopped announcing the number of students who passed Punahouiolani because of the decline in academic performance, with only 2 or 3 students passing Punahouiolani.
He said that has had quite an impact on the school, and that the facilities, coupled with the public and below, have made it a school where everyone from Kinder is accepted.
We turned down both HBA and Montessori and went with another private. You should do a lot of solid research ！

Monte I see it's like that
Preschool seems to be very popular, but surely not having a schoolyard is critical for elementary school students, or even an indispensable place. The same goes for libraries and music rooms. Lots of things essential to childhood education are lacking as facilities.
Why is Monte's preschool so popular?

As for HBA, my brother is a graduate of HBA, and it is just about the Hawaii average in terms of academics, nothing too good, nothing too bad. My brother told me that many families have lived in Hawaii for a long time.

We also took the Kinder exam two years ago.
I was a tutor for a year, but I did not get into Punahou or Iolani, even though I was an alternate. We also contacted HBA after we were rejected from Punahou and Iolani and were told that there were openings and we could enroll. I went to see the school and found it to have a unique atmosphere. I was told that the same was true for Merinol and that I could get in right away.
For Kinder, only the top two schools, Punahou and Iolani, are competitive, and the others are always recruiting. There are many schools where you can get in after the announcement of Punahou and Iolani acceptance without any rush. 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 did not get into HBA or Merinol, but Public, and we will be working hard together again for the 4th exam.

Nice to meet you. We were traveling in the US last week with a rental car and my husband was arrested in Utah for speeding 20 mph and failing to stop without immediately noticing a police vehicle. He went to jail, but was released on $750 bail. After returning to Japan later that day, I received an email from the police saying that he would be tried in March and the charges, including fines, would be decided. I am very worried because I am not familiar with foreign court cases and English, but I wonder if I have a lawyer ？ I would appreciate it if you could give me more details about what they will ask me and how long it will take.

I guess the fact that the police didn't notice must have been considered an escape. It's unfortunate, but not noticing the police is not very common. I think it's easy to tell by the blue and red lights. I think the blue and red lights are easy to see.

I think it's quite a big deal that you got arrested. I would consider it an expensive study fee and pay one million yen. If you are unsure of the language and don't know the law, I think it would be more reliable to ask a professional.

Nice to meet you.
I have a lot of tickets both in and out of state.
I have been ticketed for max speeding in my car out of state, negotiating speed discounts, the list goes on and on.
As it turns out, my license is suspended for 6 months. Traffic school is a waste of time to take because it is a series of violations, although the points will disappear if you have no violations for a year after your first violation.
The rules are slightly different in each city in each state, but basically the same.
You will have to go to the court with jurisdiction nearest you, but personal objections are inadmissible. Of course you can get a court-appointed attorney （ Japanese ） for free, but they are only interpreters, so you have no chance.
You can't withdraw a speeding ticket unless you can make up a reason for the family's urgency. Some lawyers seem to be able to turn black into white, but it is difficult to find one, including financially. The bottom line is that it's not a money-making case.
You can get a result in a few months at the earliest, but it is a suspension and a fine.
In my case, even though I was suspended, I was still driving because I have a life.
Even if you hire a lawyer, they will just take your money and give you a discount on the fine.
I know this is a harsh opinion, but it is reality.

As shown in the video #4531, Shikoku consists of four countries, and

it is said that those who go around Shikoku on a pilgrimage do so with the following mind.

In fact, as I approached the final destination, 88th Okuboji Temple, on foot, my eyes were burning.

Awa is the "Dojo of Hosshin" where one's will for ascetic practice is solidified,

Tosa is the "Dojo of Shugyo" where one faces oneself and struggles,

Iyo is the "Dojo of Bosatsu" where one is freed from hesitation,

Sanuki is the "Dojo of Nirvana" where one attains enlightenment after fulfilling a vow.


I am a Mushinist myself, although I speak passionately about the "pilgrimage" to the Buddhist temples in Shikoku.
To put it bluntly, I am a cunning person who is trying to "get the best of" the "teachings" of Buddhism and Christianity.

I attended Montessori Community School Pre for 3 years at ages 2, 3, and 4, and then moved to another school after Kinder.
I attended an elementary panel at the Montessori Community School to get more information about the school, but like others, I found the facilities too small, the number of students in the grade level was only about 10, and I had doubts about the learning program and learning style. However, like others, I decided to apply to other schools because the facilities of the school are too small, the number of students in the grade is only about 10, and I had doubts about the learning program and learning style.

An HBA topic stated that the facilities at Montessori Community School are less than public.
The school yard, library, music room, etc. are all lacking, and it was stated that not having a school yard in Elementary is not an environment in which an Elementary child would grow up.
Academically, they have hardly been able to pass Punahou or Iolani recently.
There are only 7 or 8 children per grade due to the scarcity of facilities, and there are few children of the same age at an early age, although the small number of children seems to cause a mix of grades.

I wonder
why preschool is so popular. It is less than public in terms of facilities, right? I am considering aplying to a preschool this fall. I know this school is not from Kinder ！ but I am considering giving him a Montessori education in his early years and would appreciate any advice you can give me!

As I mentioned in the HBA topic, there are less than 10 students in the same grade, but since the school is divided into two classes, there are only 3 kids of the same age in each class. The classmates are all brothers and sisters, so they are all someone's younger sister or someone's older brother or sister. The number of families in the school is very small.
The lack of facilities is one thing, but the small size of the community and the fact that there are only 7 or 8 friends of the same age makes me wonder if it is even possible to have elementary school.
On top of that, the academic level is much lower than it was a few years ago, and I don't see the value in sending my child there for its own merits.
That's why all the students who took the Kinder exam passed, but only one got in or not. Preschool is popular because Monte education is only nurtured in early childhood. This is the only Monte school that has Elementary, because Elementary no longer fosters Monte education. I suggest you to research Monte education very carefully.

I used to pass Punahou and Iolani 90% of the time …
I say used to be until about 5 years ago.
My daughter went to another pre and failed the Punahou and Iolani kinder exams and got into MCS kinder. …

The facilities are so low level for a school facility that it could be said that there is nothing there.
It was certainly an elementary school full of brothers and sisters. lol
However, when my daughter was there, the academic side was highly rated and most of the kids went to Punahou from the middle. …

Now Elementary has a new teacher and the number of teachers and students is much smaller. The number of elementary students is probably half of what it was seven years ago. There seems to be a lot of preschoolers.
Academically, it's not so good. They used to announce how many students applied to each school and how many were accepted, but three years ago, they stopped disclosing this information. The reason why it can no longer be made public is because of declining results, right?

I don't want to speak ill of the school, as it is my daughter's alma mater, but I don't think Montessori education applies to Elementary at all. The multi-age classes and three grades together are completely disregarded in terms of academic level.
Academic levels are noticeably worse than they were seven years ago.

I used to send my children to a preschool 6 years ago in Corona. It seems that preschools are still very popular.
The reason is, like you, that the number of students is too small and it is important for children to learn a lot from their friends who are the first generation. The reasons are the same as yours, too few students, only 8 students in the same grade at the most important time for children to learn a lot from their friendships, and too few facilities for several years of elementary school.
Many students from MCS go to public kinder and elementary schools. ！ Conversely, few students from MCS preschool and kinder go to Punahou and Iolani.
Six years ago, MCS Preschool was very good.
