asking for your consideration to please hear this today. I am not under the umbrella of the DOE. <br />I could be a high school person assisting families with their children’s tutoring because it is the <br />parent’s prerogative to do. I’m just asking that I be allowed to work with up to 16 children. I <br />know legally I’m allowed to have up to 5 children with an additional tutor in my home. So I <br />could be working with these students 2-hour sessions a day, five children at a time, which would <br />generate the same amount of traffic, the same amount of noise, very little, you know. <br />WATANABE: Okay, I appreciate your testimony. But let’s try and confine it to whether <br />we are affecting the public school. I don’t want to - . <br />CAMPBELL: Okay. So, yeah, I don’t find myself as a competition to the public school <br />system because these families have already made decisions to do it on their own to assist <br />support. <br />WATANABE: Mr. Iwashita. <br />IWASHITA: I appreciate your representations. You know, my concern is that I’m not <br />totally familiar with all the DOE’s ins and outs and all of those kinds of things, and I appreciate <br />you making your record. I just feel that we ought to have some kind of input from the <br />Department. <br />WATANABE: Yeah, I’m not familiar with any of it so I can’t help. <br />IWASHITA: Cause I don’t know. You know, it seems to me that given the breath of <br />the proposal that we ought to have some kind of input from the DOE. <br />CAMPBELL: May I ask if anyone knows if the DOE controls tutoring center hours <br />somehow? Because I have never heard -. <br />IWASHITA: I’m not -. Tutoring, you know, your tutoring you can do it within, you <br />obviously know more the ins and outs of what you can do and so forth. I’m not, if we call it a <br />school, right, and 16 children in one room is a small class size in a public school, right? <br />CAMPBELL: Yes. <br />IWASITA: And it can be a one-room school. If you call it a school then to me that’s <br />the kind of, then to me it raises some red flags, right -? <br />CAMPBELL: Yeah, I understand. <br />IWASHITA: And so that’s why I want the input from the Department. And the <br />Department may very well say we don’t care. That’s fine, right? <br />CAMPBELL: Yeah. <br />IWASHITA: But I need to have the input from the Department because I don’t know <br />and I want to know. <br /> EXHIBIT B <br />13 <br /> <br />
