What public schools teach students when it comes to the real world, in my opinion, depends on the academic level of the student (lower elementary, high elementary, middle or high school).Handwriting vice printing is a skill that is being returned to the schools in some areas. Here in Arizona, the state is looking at making it mandatory. It is a skill that is vital for note taking, for some forms of research later in life (especially if working with original notes taken by others), for transcription work, working in medical facilities and the list could go on. Handwriting needs to be introduced no later than third grade and I’ve seen charter schools introducing it successfully in first grade.The teaching of math needs to be done from a practical viewpoint. This does not change the content, just the way it is presented. Using math in real life settings awakens students to the wonder of discovery which then ties into all other subjects. The way it is currently taught, and has been taught for decades, makes math a stand-alone course. In turn this lends to the concept that math is a drudgery for most to endure with only “nerds” enjoying. This must be done from the lower grades onward.English, reading and writing, need far greater emphasis than currently received. Perhaps that should be stated differently, we should not have the average student reaching middle school and higher that cannot write coherently and cannot read standard texts. Yet, statistics from across the nation indicate portray this as a real issue. We have far too many students reaching college who have to take remedial classes in both English and math before they can actually begin college work. As with math and handwriting, this is a real world need. Again, as with math, introduce lower grade students to the use of English skills in the workplace. Higher grade students could work on actual business documents, medical reports, etc.Science and social studies are already part of the curriculum, but at the lower grades they could be subsumed into the English and math classes with changed emphases in the teaching of English and math. It’s important to guide young students in their awakening to the wonders of the world around them. Students in middle and high school, armed with a stronger basis in English and math, could then begin to really explore science and social studies.Art and music, both techniques of how to perform and appreciation classes should be part of the curriculum. This has direct application to real life as it can develop appreciation for the arts as a whole, which in turn adds to the quality of an individual’s life. I think this should be part of the curriculum at least through elementary school. Students desiring to continue with any of the arts or music could then do so with elective classes.A K-8 charter school I worked for had a definite focus on teaching life skills in addition to academics. Beginning in kindergarten, students were required to clean up after themselves in the cafeteria and in the classrooms. This included wiping down tables and sweeping. It taught the value of team work as the sooner the cafeteria was clean, the sooner they could go out and play. At higher grades skills such as balancing a checkbook, reconciling bank statements, maintaining files and such were taught. By 6th grade, each student had a job which earned a particular paycheck. Different jobs earned different rates of pay. They had to pay rent on their desk or save enough and buy it. They received tickets for infractions of rules or not doing homework. There were ways to earn bonuses. Students were encouraged to discuss these with their parents and from it, students developed a better understanding of the adult world.

It won't go through. Checks have been around for 100+ years and the cumulative fraud in paper Checks in less than Credit Cards and other forms of payments. That's mostly because Banks have figured our every loophole and potentially closed it. A full answer will take a long time but here's the gist of it: If you are depositing the same Check at the same bank the back-end clearing and settlement systems will immediately detect it i.e. most likely in real-time and if you're at a Teller location chances are the Teller will tell you that they are seeing error and will likely ask you why are you trying a double deposit.If you are trying to Deposit it at different bank then the aggregation and overnight settlement systems where all the Checks accumulate (i.e. the images of Checks not the actual Checks since Check21 became a law banks are required to deal in images and not actual paper ) and are settled and reconciled, your double deposit will be flagged and rejected.Depending on the bank and your relationship with the bank this could go one of the following ways: Bank simply ignores it, may or may not access fees, may put a hold on your account or close your account. It may as an extreme step refer this to their fraud dept. who may (unlikely but possible) get you for Federal wire fraud.

Those are very common problems for stroke or dementia patients. Depending on the location in the brain of the stroke it can impair short term memory and executive functions. So decision making is often impaired. With Alzheimer’s short term memory loss is the first sign of the disease. If you cannot form short term memories then you cannot later store those into long term memory. So they may forget to pay their bills, or misplace the checkbook, or no longer be able to reconcile their checkbook.
