We have a resin bathtub that cracked about 10 years ago and was repaired with epoxy.

However, the epoxy has changed laterally over time, so it looks bad now.

We are planning to repair it with a material that does not discolor by cutting off the discoloration part in due course.

Hiro,

＞ The epoxy has changed laterally over time

What does "lateral change" mean? I looked it up in Kojien, but it was not found.
In any case, it would be a good thing if it lasted for 10 years.

The one I mentioned is only a few dollars, so if the color changes and it becomes noticeable,
you can just repaint it again. If you call a contractor, they will charge you about $80
just for the trip.

Incidentally, the school that appears at the top of the California rankings in LAUSD is Roscomare Road Elementary, ranked 14th,
formerly known as Balboa Elementary (formally Balboa Gifted/High Ability Magnet Elementary ） had long been the top ranked school in
LAUSD, but since the principal changed, the ranking has been dropping steadily.

If you want to know how your child's school ranks in California, you can enter the school name
in the Search field.
Of course, you can also search California middle school rankings and High School Rankings.
If you change the number in the "show schools at a time" field at the bottom, up to 100 schools will be displayed on one page.
If you want to see schools by Unified, you can enter the Unified name.
If you are interested in a school, you can click on the name of the school to see the details of that school.

Of course, local residents have priority for popular schools, but this year, even popular schools that normally would not be able to get in have a higher chance of getting in because they are not filled up due to Corona. I think it is a way to change schools to take advantage of this chance to get in even if you cross the border.

I agree. The test score difference between the top 70 is 1%.
Considering that I'm ranked 641st in a school with a score of 90%, the test score is more important than what rank I'm ranked.

With 1525 Unified in California, Torrance Unified is ranked 220th, which is great. But even within Torrance, it varies from school to school.

Once upon a time, there was a big fuss when it was discovered that a Japanese child who did not speak English well was told to miss school on the day of the National Common Achievement Test. Why do schools care so much about test scores?

In California, education funding has been cut so much from the state budget that teachers have gone on strike.
The rule that if a school's overall test score goes up 5% over the previous year, it gets more money from the state, and if it goes down 5%, it gets less （ within 5% of the previous year, it stays the same ） has made schools jump through hoops.... I heard that. （ Sorry, but this is just what I heard, not verified by myself ）
I would like to believe that now they should no longer give recess to students who cannot speak English ・ ・ ・.

Greetings, I graduated from college this spring and am currently waiting for my OPT visa to arrive.
I was studying to get my driver's license during this gap period, but I noticed the other day that the I20 is listed as necessary to bring with you when you take the written exam.
However, I myself have already graduated from school this spring, and my I20 expired in June.
In this case, how can I take the exam? By the way, my F1 has not expired.
If anyone knows, I would be grateful for your help.

Even though your student visa may still be valid for a while, when your I-20 period of stay is over, your legal stay in the US The period of stay in the U.S. legally is also over.

What you are waiting for is not an OPT visa, not an SSN, but an EAD card.
As others have said, the I-20 is valid until the OPT is over, so take that with you.
I don't think you should say AB60 because it is for illegal aliens and doesn't apply to them and could complicate the conversation.

I thought you could stay 60 days after your I20 expired ？ If your I20 expired in June, it seems you are not illegal yet. However, if you stay in the U.S. for more than 60 days before your visa expires, you will be in the U.S. illegally 100% of the time, and you will be in trouble the next time you enter the U.S. You should worry about your visa from OPT before your driver's license. You should be more concerned about the visa from OPT before the driver's license.

Has anyone obtained a visa or green card as a sushi chef ？
I would like to hear about your experience if you don't mind.
I would appreciate it if you could tell me about the type of visa, when to get it, sponsors you have had to support you, and any experience you had with being cheated out of a promise to give you a visa, or anything else you should be aware of.
We have no experience and are trying to become a sushi chef.
Thank you very much.

I know some people who came here on student visa, then worked in a sushi restaurant with visa support and got a green card
It took about 5 years, but I'm talking about the last 5 years, not 30 years ago.
That restaurant hires so-called visa slaves, so if you are prepared to work for a low salary until you can get a green card
that's one way. It depends on your desire to get a green card and your ability to work for years at a low salary.

Nikkei Kindergarten

Problem / Need advice
#1
  • Cat

We are senior moms and dads and look forward to your kind-hearted comments.

My daughter started summer school at Nikkei this summer.
She is 3 years old and this is her first time in kindergarten and she is very naughty, so on the first day she had to leave the classroom.
She looked very stressed about it and the teacher nailed me and told me to be sure to tell her at home. I know it was hard, but it was said in the same way as the first and second days. \I know she is tired and I know she is bothering my daughter 😞
but I am depressed because I wonder if this teacher will be okay and I am worried about sending my daughter there in the future.
I don't think she is a bad teacher, but when I go to pick her up, all she says is negative things again, that she is bothering my daughter, and that she is trying her best to teach her things at home, but it's not going well.
My father speaks English at home, so I usually do my best to teach her Japanese, but she still seems to have more difficulty communicating with me than with other children who speak only one language.

The teacher seems mature and very kind, but she says, "It was like this, so let's work together to get used to it while getting support at home again!" I am worried because it is not a positive feeling like that.
I felt so much annoyance that I couldn't stop crying after returning home. I'm worried about my daughter, who is just a rambunctious little thing, going to kindergarten, and I'm skeptical about leaving it in the hands of the teachers.
I heard that this kindergarten has had many problems, but my friends' children go there, and it didn't seem so bad when we visited, so it's even worse.
I know this sounds like I'm still a newbie, but have any of you had this experience?

to help them develop social skills during their socialization period.

I have looked around and found a group called "American Shiba Inu Lover's Club" but have not been able to contact them （ They are no longer active ？ ）

A year or two ago, I seriously considered going tankless because my previous tank type was reaching the end of its useful life, but the price of the main unit alone was three or four times that of a tank type, so I decided to go with a tank type again, just for the sake of short-term savings. I was even stingier and replaced the tank by myself again.

I didn't mind the weight so much the last three times, but this time I was too old to put it on the 16-inch-high stand with my hands.

This is the model I am using now.

It weighs 186 lbs, so it won't lift even 1mm if you just hold it. I remember that I put a 2x4 on the edge of the bottom that I opened by tilting it, put the next 2x4 on the other side of the bottom that I opened by pushing the top, and repeat this process to raise it up to 16 inches.

Double Kinman-sama Thank you again for the information.

Dear Tomo311, We decided not to go for the tankless water heater this time because of the price. We are thinking of going for a tankless water heater next time it breaks down.

This time, we asked a contractor to install it and the installation was completed successfully just now.

Although the contractor is not one of the big ones, I was very satisfied with the price, service, and response

Have a nice weekend everyone.

As the topic title says, I'm looking for the English sub of the touch (anime ).
I don't mind paying for it.
