みなさんこんばんわ
私の不愉快な経験を聞いてください。
10月20日の15時頃醍醐新町のバス停での出来事です。
私は車で南に走行してました
バス停にバスが2台待機している状態でした。
私はそのバスとは別のバスの後ろに付いて走っていました。
ちょうど東稜高校を過ぎた所で
私の前を走っているバスがバス停の2台を急に追い越しました。
停車中（昇降中）の2台バスから信号まで距離があったので
そのバスが追い越しても十分入れる車間距離がありました。
が！どうでしょう！
その停車中の2台とグルになり追い越しを低速でした挙句
私の追い越しを阻止してきました。
私は行き場を無くし右折レーンへ追いやられました。
仕方なくそのバスの前に割り込もうと思ったら
そのバスは停止線を越え完全に妨害してくるではありませんか！
その時右手に醍醐の派出所があるのに警官も見ているのに無視！
あまりにもハラが立つので信号が変わったら追い抜いてやろうと思っていたら
そのバスは信号が変わる前に発進しました。
こんな道交法を無視したバスを相手にするのも馬鹿らしいので私は信号が変わってから発進しそのバスを抜き去りました。
京阪バスは京都の足だと思っていましたが
ただの危険な乗り物のようです。
事故を誘発するような運転はどうでしょう？
近くには三宝院や隋心院など有名なお寺などある観光地でもあります。
安心して乗っていられるのでしょうか？
そのドライバーが悪い人なのかも知れませんが
1人でもそういう方がいるのが残念です。
もっとバスの運転手は安全運転を自覚して欲しいものです・・・

今、私はとても大変な状況です。父親が倒れ、父子家庭のため、私１人で全ての事をやりくりしなければなりません。大学のほうは何とか私のアルバイト代でまかなっていますが大学にも近くにも親友と呼べる人が居ないので、精神状態は極限にまで達しています。ある事から大学の友人とは絶縁関係になって全く連絡を取っていません。自分が原因で友人とは絶縁になったとは言え、かなり辛く神経がまいっているのです。そんな状況に追い討ちをかけるかのごとく私は大学でもいじめられています。私が通学している学校は、中高一貫教育として大阪では知られている有名な私立女子大のようで周りは派手なお嬢様の子が多くて、ついていけません。そのうえ、女子大と言う事もあって、１人で居る子は居ませんし、学校に行ってもつまらないのですが単位を落とすのはヤバイので、かろうじて毎日重い腰を上げて通っています。学校に行っても話せる子が居ないので、パソコン室に行って、ホームページを見たりしているのでひここもりのように思われているのか私に対して、「気持ち悪い」「マジやばい」と通りすがりに聞こえるように言ったり、足を引っ掛けてきたりします。そんなひびが毎日なのでもう耐えられません。一体どうすれば良いでしょうか??

こんにちわ。何かつらそうな状況のようですが、僕の意見だといじめははっきり言わないと無くならないと思いますよ。いじめられる人は僕が思うにはどちらかと言うと気の弱い部分があると思います。これは事実僕がそうだったからです。どんな人でもありうると思うんですが、自分よりレベルのが下と思える人が回りにいる事で自分は安心出来る部分って人間にはあると思うんですよ。でも実際社会には階級なんて無く、レベルの低い人なんて回りにいるはずが無くて、自分より低いと自分たちが思っていられる人をいじめと言う形で集団で作ってるんだと思います。卑怯ですよね。でもこれは仕方ないです。多分自分では気がついてなくてもほとんどの人がこれと同じような事を人生の中一度は思い、いじめとは限りませんが実行してると思います。考えてみてください。世の中何が正しいなんて基準は一切なんですよ。基本的には多くの意見がそろった方が勝ってしまいます。だから自分に降りかかった問題は基本的には自分で良い方向へもっていくしかないと思います。その時その時で出来る一番最善の方法を見つけて、つらい状態からはなるべく早く這出るようにして頑張ってください。つらい事も多いと思うけど、必要無くなったらどんな物も世の中か消される、つまり消されない限りは誰かがいずれ必要としてくれると思って頑張ってください。ちょっとした幸せを見つけ出して頑張ってみてください。幸せを感じられる瞬間もあると思いますよ。

追伸：嫌な事は嫌って言ったほうが良いですよ。

こんにちは、まず最善の行いは自分自身が置かれている立場や自分が何故に虐められるのか、なぜ自分が原因で友人とは絶縁になったのかをもう少し自分自身を見つめ直す必要が在るのではないかと思うのですが如何でしょうか?厳しいかもしれませんが、そこで妥協しても意味をなさないと感じます。僕も母子家庭で生まれ育ち決して裕福な暮らしでは在りませんが幾度となく社会の修羅場を越えて来て痛感することが在ります。何が現実で非現実なのかを逆境や修羅場を越えてその中で生きてきた人は本当の答えや正しき考え方を培っておられます。僕自身よく自分より年下の子に問うのですが自分たち同年代や２・３年しか離れていない考え方や人生経験の余り変わらない人たちの意見で何故左右されるのか?その中に本当に答えが見いだせるのか?その方が理解に苦しみます。昔から今現代に至るまで虐めは無くならないしそれを改善出来る人は年々減少しているのも事実なのですが何事に於いても最終的には自分自身で行動し行い解決策を打算しなくてはならないのです。何事にも打ち勝つ精神を育み自分の幸せを築き上げないと本当の幸せは訪れません。大学生活に於いて周りは派手なお嬢様の子が多いいようですが気にしては絶対いけません！私から言わせれば、お嬢様自信がお嬢様を築き上げて来たのではなく全てが親の元でそう育っただけで有りお嬢様自身でそれを築き上げてきたのでは無いのですから。逆手に取ればお嬢様の方が何も出来ず親の七光りで育ち親の力で何事も成そうと考えます僕からすれば親ばかりを当てに育って来た人の方が「気持ち悪い」し「マジやばい」と思いますよ！ですからハリガネロック★さんも、もう少し自分に自信を持って周りに左右されず精進しガンバッテ見て下さい僕からもハリガネロック★さんみたいながんばりやさんを応援していきたいと考えて下ります。

はりがねロックさんこんにちわ。書き込みから数日経過しているので、近況は変わってるかもしれませんが、とにかく長い人生で今の状況はほんの少しのことだと思って、がんばってと言う言葉を送るしかできません。学校でのいじめを変えるには、ものすごい力のいることだと思うし、無理かもしれない。とにかく今は絶縁になってる友達に勇気をもって電話してみてください。悪いことをしたのであれば、もう一度謝って素直な気持ちで自分の思いをぶつけてみてください。友達の返事がどうであれ、それが自信にもつながると思う。学校でも自信をもって自分の気持ちを表現してみてください。あなたの周りには、あなたを差別視する人ばかりではないはずです。きっとあなたの気持ちを理解してくれる人もいるはずです。そしてバイト先でも思い切って相談してみればどうですか?自分が一人でないと気がつくことができれば、きっと状況は変わってくると思います。とにかく、頑張って！応援してます。

I’ve got about 130 unread messages now. It looks like they sent me the time for the next lesson, but why do they think I’m actually going to go?
I keep telling them I haven’t read them or even opened them, so why are they sending me so many texts?

I’m facing a huge backlash for teaching the word “ugly” to my American students. People say it’s an outdated or discriminatory term, but I thought Osamu Suzuki’s book *In Love with the Eyes of an Ugly Woman*—which he wrote about his wife—was interesting, and the anime *A Bouquet for an Ugly Woman* has been airing since last year.
I also read a few chapters of *Don’t Call Me Ugly*, which offers a free preview of several chapters on my phone.
I think the word “ugly” is used quite commonly.
Besides, she’s far from being “ugly”—she’s friendly and very popular with guys. When I was a kid, some rude boys used to tease girls by calling them “ugly” ！, and I wonder if that’s still causing her trauma.
But “shikome” is a word people don’t use anymore, so I really think “ugly” is just a normal word.
When I’m talking with friends, I often say things like, “I’m ugly, so there’s no way,” or “I’m ugly, so I won’t take pictures or even look in the mirror.” I also often say things like, “I’m dumb, so I forget things right away” or “I can’t remember anything.” I don’t think “ugly” or “dumb” are discriminatory terms.

そのようなことはできる、される、のでしょうか。。。

前提として業務時間中にやっていたわけでもなく、何か不利益になることをしたわけでもないようです。
「24時間会社に忠実にいるべき（気に食わないから）」が理由のようです。。。

そんな昭和な発想の人がいるんですねという感想ですが、、、
もしそういう事例(ヤバイ会社)があったら教えて欲しいなと思い投稿です。

I’m currently working at my first non-Nikkei company, in an environment with many Japanese and Asian employees. My boss isn’t used to managing people, so he gets flustered and takes his frustration out on those around him by yelling at them. He even yells at new hires who just started and don’t know anything yet, telling them “that’s not right” without any explanation.
I think this kind of situation would be considered power harassment in Japan, but is the term “power harassment” also used in English-speaking countries, and does it refer to situations like this? ？

This is a common issue at Japanese companies.

You should report this to the Labor Department.
In the U.S., if a company did something like that,
the company itself would be sued.

Please report this to the Labor Department.

I'll look into how to report this to the Labor Bureau. Alternatively,
since the company is in the food and beverage industry and originally from Europe, I think I could report it directly to the company itself, so I'd like to consider that option, but I'm worried about whether my anonymity will be properly protected.

Thank you, EEOC, for providing such specific details.
As I suspected, “power harassment” is a term coined in Japan and isn’t used in the U.S.
It’s certainly impossible to file a complaint without evidence. Moreover, since you can’t record conversations without the other person’s permission, it’s practically impossible unless the experience of workplace harassment is severe enough to cause mental distress and result in a doctor’s medical certificate.
I don’t plan on staying at this company much longer myself, but I feel sorry for the new hires and the other employees.

Mr. Hara

No, you can sue.

In both Japan and the United States, you can sue if conduct in the workplace constitutes another tort, such as assault, physical restraint, defamation, or acts that cause extreme mental distress.
Incidentally, “power harassment” is not an official legal term in Japan either



Regarding recordings, in Hawaii, if you are a party to the conversation, you can legally record it even without the other person’s permission.
The issue arises when you eavesdrop on a conversation in which you are not present.

Therefore, the explanation that recording without the person’s permission is illegal and that the case ends as soon as it is filed with the EEOC is also incorrect.

We moved to Hawaii from the Bay Area last May and have two children, our oldest is now 3.5 years old and our youngest is 1.5 years old.
I was interested in Montessori education before my children were born, and while researching, I heard that
Montessori Community School in the Makiki area is a wonderful school. I saw that over 95% of the students go to Iolani or Punahou each year
through the Feeding School to Iolani or Punahou schools.
I know that it is very difficult to get into Montessori Community School as there are several topics on this site.
I would like to enroll my oldest son from Kinder and my youngest son from Pre, what should I do to prepare for the entrance exam?
We would like to know what kind of education and preparation you have done for your son who is currently attending the school.
We have contacted the school and are afraid that the admission rate is quite high.

My two sons will be living in Hawaii for at least 10 years, so I am hoping that they will be able to attend Iolani School or Punahou School in the future
We are hoping to attend Montessori Community School. I heard that another school, Hana Hau'oli, is also a feeding school, but
I heard that you have to have some kind of connection such as family connection or working to get in, but I have given up because I have no connections in Hawaii.
I would appreciate any information you can give me if you have taken the test for Puri or Kinder.

My son graduated from MCS and went from Middle to Punahou and graduated last year. He is now attending a state college in the Mainland.
Oh no, you can't compare Punahou to MCS. To be clear, MCS graduates have a very hard time getting to the top in Punahou.
The "pure gold Punahou kids" （ from Kinder ） are almost always at the top. At Punahou, we call the kids from Kinder "Punahou Kids".
80% of the students who went on to the Ivy League and the most prestigious colleges were also from Kinder.
MCS is a Montessori school, so academics are appropriate, and from about the 4th grade onward, children aiming for Punahou Middle must attend cram school or Tutor.
Don't expect to get into Punahou or Iolani just by taking MCS classes, the SSAT is very revealing.
Punahou, you need to be at least 90% on the SSAT after all these years of academic improvement.
When my son took the Middle, he got 80%. Anyway, Punahou and Iolani are not just the top two.
Once you get in, it's a matter of whether you can keep up with the Punahou kids or not. Anyway, there was a huge difference between the two schools, so as other parents have said, it is true that I had a hard time studying after I entered Punahou.

I had my son attend Monte until 6th grade and took the Punahou, Iolani, Mippa, and Merinol entrance exams, and he was rejected by Punahou and Iolani and is now attending Mippa.
To be honest, I had heard that 90% of the students could go to Punahou or Iolani if they attended Monte, and the school claimed that Monte's education was advanced and comparable to Punahou and Iolani without a tutor. However, when I took the public test （ the national test and the SSAT ） I found that the Monte students were not at that level, but at best Mippa and Merinol.
I was so surprised and impatient that I rushed to the individual tutor and Takahashi Juku. By the time I realized it, there were 8 months until the exam. I could never catch up with Punahou and Iolani level.
In the school year my child attended, 13 students took the exam and 3 were accepted to Punahou or Iolani, and 10, including my child, were not.
As others have said, many of the families who attend Monte are Monte believers （ really believing faith ）. It was my fault for being so relaxed and believing what they said and what the school claimed, but by the time I realized it, it was already too late.
The same people who come to speak at the Elementary panel every year as parents of alumni, the same people. For a long time now. Monte is a laid back, small school. The community is small because of the small number of families and the small number of students, and the information is skewed so that it is too late, as it is for me.
If you are considering Elementary at Monte, you will need tutors, etc. from 4th grade at the latest if you want to go to Punahou or Iolani from the middle.

It's been a while since I've used Vivinavi's private sales and came across this page. My son was also MCS, he was there through 6th grade and took the middle exam but was rejected from Punahou, he did not take the exam to Iola and is attending another school. My child's best friend （, who was in Kinder through 6th grade ）, was accepted to Punahou, but she feels a huge gap in academic ability and is losing confidence. She feels that the kids from Kinder are incredibly smart at Punahou, and that what they are learning at Elementary is far beyond what they are learning at MCS. My child's best friend was at the top of his class at MCS, but after a few years at Punahou, he is still below average. I sent my child to MCS because I thought it was a good idea to give priority to what he liked and to nurture him, but this backfired when it came to aiming for the top schools. The number of students who have been accepted to Punahou and Iolani from MCS in the past few years has been less than 30%, and I think this is a testament to that. What I can say is that the academic level of Punahou and Iolani today is different from that of Punahou and Iolani more than 5 years ago, or maybe the academic level of MCS has dropped. It could be both. Since Punahou has gone up 5% SSAT in the last 3 years. We are planning to try again narrowly （ high school entry ） which only takes a few students because my kids are not satisfied with their current school. By the way, when I took the exam in 6th grade, the whole class had tutors and went to cram school. The school said that it was unnecessary ！, but if I didn't have a tutor, I wouldn't have been able to pass any of the entrance examinations.

We have been fortunate enough to be able to attend MCS pre in August and are now considering whether to send our child to MCS. This year, it seems that all applicants were able to apply for pre, because we contacted them in early March, just before the acceptance announcement, rather than after the application deadline, and they told us that they would send out First Round notices but that there were still spots available and that they would accept our application if we submitted one. ！ We are also wondering whether Central Union, St. Clements, or MCS would be better for us to attend Punahou from Kinder. We have paid the deposit for all three schools, so we are keeping all three. The reason why I applied to MCS in March is because I thought that even if I fail the Kinder exam because of Elementary.................... I thought that even if I failed the Kinder test, I would still be able to go to Punahou, but it looks like my chances of going to Punahou are slim. Thank you all for the useful information to consider.

My daughter attends MCS’s Upper Elementary.
This year, MCS has fewer students than its capacity in both preschool and elementary school. You can still enroll even now. ！
The elementary school is constantly short on students and accepts applications year-round. Currently, there are only a handful of third graders, and while the school aims for 20 students per grade each year,
I’ve never seen a grade with 20 students.
Generally, the largest grade has only 12 or 13 students. The others have only around 10 students, and those are split into two classes—grades 1–3 in one class and grades 4–6 in another—
so the elementary school has a total of four classes for grades 1–6. There are only two teachers for three different grade levels. In any case, it is a fact that quality is declining due to a shortage of students, teachers, and facilities. Recently, only about two students have been accepted into Punahou’s middle school each year.
As others have noted, the acceptance rate to Punahou was 90% more than five years ago, but since about five years ago, Punahou’s academic standards have risen significantly compared to the past, so （ while the bar was already high, it now requires very high SSAT scores— and you won’t get in without a high percentile score. ） As long as MCS maintains its current educational program, it won’t be able to catch up to Punahou’s level. The school itself states that MCS is not a feeder school for Punahou. These days, many students from the middle school division end up going to mid-tier schools or charter schools.
If you’re considering enrolling your child at MCS with the goal of getting into Punahou after middle school, I think you should reconsider and look into a different school starting in kindergarten. Even at Hanahauoli, the acceptance rate to Punahou is only 60–70% these days. Our child entered preschool at MCS over five years ago, so we enrolled based on a 90% acceptance rate, and since this is the situation now while they’re still attending, we have no choice but to stay.
