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?

Actually, the concept of a home room is a shorter than regular class period and place to handle daily routines and administrative matters, not subject instruction. Coming out of grade school it fills the familiar nurturing role of a main teacher in grade school. It could be between first and second period.Some schools might even do without the homeroom concept. If you are in such a school, try to figure out what the form is really asking for and match that to people and roles in your situation.

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.

The page will be divided into 4 \u2014 or sometimes only 3 \u2014 different sections: Two columns, one area at the bottom of the page, and one smaller area at the top of the page. The idea behind this is very easy. All actual notes from the lecture go into the main note-taking column.

The Cornell method provides a systematic format for condensing and organizing notes. This system of taking notes is designed for a high school or college level student.

Step 1: RECORD LECTURE NOTES. The Note Taking Area is for writing your class notes. Step 2: REVIEW YOUR NOTES and CREATE YOUR SELF-TEST COLUMN. In the review/self-test column: Step 3: SUMMARIZE YOUR NOTES. Prepare a summary of the lecture in your own words. ... Step 4: TEST YOURSELF.

However, many successful students and business people have found that the Cornell note-taking system is very effective for lectures or reading that is organized around clearly defined topics, subtopics, and supporting details. The Cornell System is both a note-taking and a study system.

The Modified Cornell method of note-taking offers several advantages. It results in more organized notes. It allows students to quickly identify keywords and key concepts. The notes can easily be used as a study guide for exam preparation.
