Departments of education and school districts always have to make decisions about what to include in their curriculum.  There are a lot of life skills that people need that aren't taught in school.  The question is should those skills be taught in schools?I teach high school, so I'll talk about that.  The typical high school curriculum is supposed to give students a broad-based education that prepares them to be citizens in a democracy and to be able to think critically.  For a democracy to work, we need educated, discerning citizens with the ability to make good decisions based on evidence and objective thought.  In theory, people who are well informed about history, culture, science, mathematics, etc., and are capable of critical, unbiased thinking, will have the tools to participate in a democracy and make good decisions for themselves and for society at large.  In addition to that, they should be learning how to be learners, how to do effective, basic research, and collaborate with other people.  If that happens, figuring out how to do procedural tasks in real life should not provide much of a challenge.  We can't possibly teach every necessary life skill people need, but we can help students become better at knowing how to acquire the skills they need.  Should we teach them how to change a tire when they can easily consult a book or search the internet to find step by step instructions for that?  Should we teach them how to balance a check book or teach them how to think mathematically and make sense of problems so that the simple task of balancing a check book (which requires simple arithmetic and the ability to enter numbers and words in columns and rows in obvious ways) is easy for them to figure out.  If we teach them to be good at critical thinking and have some problem solving skills they will be able to apply those overarching skills to all sorts of every day tasks that shouldn't be difficult for someone with decent cognitive ability  to figure out.  It's analogous to asking why a culinary school didn't teach its students the steps and ingredients to a specific recipe.  The school taught them about more general food preparation and food science skills so that they can figure out how to make a lot of specific recipes without much trouble.  They're also able to create their own recipes.So, do we want citizens with very specific skill sets that they need to get through day to day life or do we want citizens with critical thinking, problem solving, and other overarching cognitive skills that will allow them to easily acquire ANY simple, procedural skill they may come to need at any point in their lives?

When I first started using anki, I would tag all cards based on the lecture they came from and what block they were from. An example would be ‘Block4_Lecture21_SkinHistology’. That way, if I knew I was having trouble remembering information from a specific lecture, I could study by tag for that lecture until I remembered.As I went through medical school, I transitioned from using lectures to textbooks and stopped using tags. I found I was more efficient by making a master deck with subdecks for each chapter (see below).As far as creating high yield cards, focus on one fact per card. If you try and put too much information on a single card, you will be frustrated when you can’t remember everything on that card. I love cloze deletions, and they work perfectly for the ‘one fact per card’ method. You know what works best for you to remember things though, maybe try making your own mnemonics.For more, check out Anki Tips - The number one resource for all things anki

My district has a window of time that allows students to transfer to chosen schools. Almost all transfers are accepted.There is a specific procedure to do this correctly.If the student lives in a different district, they have to officially notify that district that they are planning on going to a neighboring district. Paperwork must be signed by both districts.Please contact all the districts involved. They can help you with the steps.Each year the student must reapply for the transfer. My district only denies transfers when attendance or behavior has been an issue.

Any time after the teachers have finished sending in grades so that your thank-you doesn't seem like trying for a better grade.  It's never too late to send a formal thank-you and it's never to early to say "thank you" in person.

I worked hard at school to get good grades, went to university, studied hard, graduated, got a series of better and better jobs, and finally transferred across as an international manager under an L1-A visa (executive management).After a year my lawyer submitted my green card paperwork, and a few months later I was approved.Your friends experience may differ - there are MANY ways of ending up with a green card - hard work, education, and business success is one of the easiest, but not the only way.You can be lucky (diversity lottery), rich (investment), talented (internationally recognised artists, athletes and scientists), or have family in the USA.ALL these options require you to either pay a lawyer, or actually learn the process yourself.Your friend should start by obtaining a visa which allows them to legally reside and work in the USA - that’s the first step in the process.Simply “wanting to come to the USA” isn’t enough - it’s a start. Now your friend needs to learn the process and apply themselves.U.S. Visas

I have also modified my Mobile number once for my aadhar, and next name was rectified for my wife.I have observed the updated card is received within 15 days. There might be postal delay. And you can download the updated card yourself also.

To be an effective leader, you need to realise it’s not about you. It’s about them.Stop focusing on yourself, and focus on them. Spend a lot of time asking a lot of questions. Things like:“What things do you worry about right now?”“Can you think of a really great captain you had before? Why and how were they great? What did you like about them and what they did?”“What things would you like to see from your next captain?”“If I become captain, what could I do to help you?”Once you’ve had this conversation 50/100 times, you’ll have a much better picture of how to help your fellow students, and thus you’ll be better able to explain how you’ll advocate for them.In summary,
