Then when I go the the SAME non-HD channel, or to other non-HD channels, I have to quickly turn down the volume as it is blasting. As I said....this was not always like this. I called Dish Network and they said, This is what the channels are putting out.. They said it was NOT their problem.
The Times published a front-page story over the weekend about efforts in Sacramento to make kindergarten mandatory. Right now, parents in California are not required to send their children to school until theyâre 6 years old. In other words, mandatory schooling starts in first grade. The bill calls for mandatory kindergarten, though the age for mandatory schooling would still be 6. This story led us to look into kindergarten a bit more. We wanted to understand how it has changed over the past few decades.
I wanted to share the experience of what it was like to enroll my kids in school. Since kindergarten is not mandatory here, itâs actually somewhat of a complex process, so perhaps this information will be helpful to others in similar situations. Mandaratory Japanese school starts in first grade at the age of 6. Whereas American kids typically have 1-2 years of (voluntary) preschool before they start (mandatory) kindergarten, Japanese kids typically have 2 years of (voluntary) kindergarten before they start (mandatory) first grade. These two years are called KG-1 (for 4 year olds) and KG-2 (for 5 year olds).
