I asked Sook Hi's Alteration to lengthen a t-shirt and they processed it with a lock sewing machine + straight stitches, which made the fabric unwearable because it would not stretch. It is a cropped tight t-shirt. If anyone knows a store that can do such an alteration, please let me know. Even if it is not a store but a private person. Thank you in advance.

Charter Schools in Hawaii

I learned that public schools in Hawaii have large differences in academic achievement and environment depending on the area, and many people choose to go private.
I wish I could send my own children to a private school, but the tuition barrier is still too high and I have given up. 
I am thinking of trying a charter school, although the chances of getting in are low.
Each school has its own characteristics and is very appealing, but I was wondering if anyone who is currently attending a charter school could share their thoughts on how it is really going. Thank you in advance.

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 ).

  • GEについて
  • 2024/08/21 18:05

Hello. I am looking at applying for GE cross-border commuting when I enroll in Kinder and have a few questions.
I am considering Manoa, Nuuanu, Waikiki, Wilson Elementary, etc.


1 . Regarding the "Reason for Application" on the GE application, I am supposed to check either Physical residence, Program of study (describe), or Other (describe), Program of study is the information about the study program of the school, but where can I get information about the characteristics of each school ・? ?

I could not find any detailed information on the website of the school of my choice, and I could not find any special features of the school.


2 . Do public schools have a school information session before admission ?

3. If you have chosen GE, what did you base your choice on if not location ?

I have only heard about each elemental from others, and I have also checked quantitative data on school evaluation websites, but I am having trouble understanding the detailed programs and such. I would be glad if I could use your experience as a reference.

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.

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.

Hello.
If you know anything about this, please let me know. I have decided to marry my US citizen boyfriend and apply for a green card. I am embarrassed to say that neither of us is financially able to afford it, and we plan to have a joint sponsor. Because of these concerns, we would like to apply for a green card with the help of a lawyer. Please let me know if you know of any good lawyers or lawyers with good reviews that you all have asked for.
I am thinking of budgeting 1000-3000 for attorney fees only $. Thank you in advance.

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 !

Hello
I am a resident of Las Vegas.
I am planning to visit the Consulate General of San Francisco
to renew my passport.
I think the area near the Consulate General is convenient and good if it is safe
I hear that downtown San Francisco is very dangerous these days.
Should we stay at a hotel near Fisherman's Wharf? ?
What hotels do you recommend to your friends?
I am not sure about the balance between the security of San Francisco and the cost of lodging.
We are looking to spend $ less than 400, but
$ 200, $ even 100 would be better if it is a safe place to go out.

I would appreciate hearing from you.

Thank you very much.

Yes, daycare centers that care for children in Los Angeles must be licensed. In California, child care centers and day care facilities must follow state regulations and obtain the appropriate licenses.1 This ensures that children receive care in a safe and appropriate environment.

Co-workers with no family in Hawaii to rely on. I know most fathers are full time, but I am interested in what kind of work the mothers do.

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 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.
