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?

Yes, in almost all IITs course feedback system is implemented. Here at IIT-M , it's popularly known as TCF. For a certain physics course, our instructor was not upto the mark and hence we filled the TCF accordingly, I dont know if he/she has been questioned, but we did get a better instructor this semester,for yet another physics course.  TCF is an open way to vent out anger, by shading the omr bubbles in a certain form to resemble written text( I lost the picture), and thus trolling the course.

The phases of the moon, as seen from the earth, are a result of the angle the moon has in relation to the sun. A fact we must remember is that the moon does not have its own light, thus what we see is sunlight reflected from the surface of the moon.

This causes the position of the moonrise and Mo onset to vary up to 28.6 degrees north or south (that's 23.5+5.1 degrees). The Moon orbits completely around the Earth in 28.5 days, about once a month. ... Due to the speed of Earth's rotation and the Moon's orbit, the Moon rises about 50 minutes later each day.

Like the sun, we always consider the moon as rising in the east and setting in the west. In rEvality, it generally rises either north or south of east and sets either north or south of west. The movement of the daily rise and set directions along the horizon form an interesting and predictable pattern.

Current Moon position and distance The arrow shows the Moon's direction as it would show on a standard map, where upwards mean north, right means east, down is south, and left is west. The number next to the arrow provides the same information as an azimuth angle.

Like the sun, the moon, from our perspective on the surface of the Earth, rises in the East and sets in the West.
