Farin Posted January 27, 2010 Report Posted January 27, 2010 The belief part is because they fear public schools in Germany could teach an "anti-christian worldview". The homeschooling part being illegal probably developed historically to protect children, so that their parents couldn't claim to homeschool them when they were actually forced to work. (Also we never had the problems of children living 12 hours on horseback from the next school ) That court decision now is probably because of a mixture of the above two reasons
edna Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 That's more ridiculous than weird to me... Children must go to school, here and everywhere... not only they learn about history and grammar and so, they also learn how to behave and deal with other people... Well, at leasts that's my opinion...
Lea Posted January 28, 2010 Report Posted January 28, 2010 I home schooled my daughter for almost two years. Good thing I did to other wise she would be illiterate. I didn't isolate her tho and she had a lot of friends. She had elective classes at the School and played sports. When I put her back in public school, when she was in 7th grade they tested her and her test scores were 2 levels or more above her grade. She flunked out of High School and dropped out the minute she turned 18. we took her car away because of she did that. She promised us she would get her GED by the time she was 20 and she did. She didn't even have to take classes to get it. She just went in and took the tests. She told us, our home-schooling is the reason she did so well. She is quite bright. Some people home school for different reasons. I did it because our school system sucks that bad. I can't believe it would be outlawed in any country And if your wondering how she did so well when it's pretty obvious my spelling and grammar is nothing to brag about, I had her in a program called Abekka. It's most likely the best home schooling program out there.
Levis Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 ugh, I know the answer to this one but can't remember it
Farin Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 yeees, same here! I hoped one of you would know or remember it
Shawna Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 my computer screen is too small to read the writing...
Farin Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 it only describes what you can see: "How can this be true?" "Below the four parts are moved around" "The partitions are exactly the same as those used above" "From where comes this 'hole'?"
Levis Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 If the two triangles are composed of the same shapes and have the same area why does one of them have a white space, where did it come from?
The Seeker Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 The slope of the first one is a bit steeper, isn't it? Maybe that's got something to do with it?
MindCrime Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 I'm going to see if I can get the answer off another site I regularly frequent, but most of the other regs there are drunken sports fans, so not much luck.
Farin Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 The slope of the first one is a bit steeper, isn't it? Maybe that's got something to do with it? hey, that's true... the smaller one has a slope of 2/5 = 0.4, the larger one has one of 3/8 = 0.375 if that already makes the difference?
MindCrime Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 Possibly, it looks like there's a full square worth missing on the other slope.
Levis Posted February 11, 2010 Report Posted February 11, 2010 That was all I came across when I tried googling the answer, but while I can sorta deduce that the slope might be different, it's not a very satisfactory answer because I can't imagine how that difference adds up to an entire square.
MindCrime Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 At the Alice in Chains concert I was at last night, which was in an indoor arena, somebody had the gusto to hit a bong. Everyone could smell it and even the lead singer made a comment about it in a joking matter. I don't know if they were ever caught by security, but I guess people just don't have proper senses anymore. (not that they have ever since Woodstock anyways)
Steel2Velvet Posted February 18, 2010 Report Posted February 18, 2010 The area of the two matching triangles is exactly the same. There is no "hole." The seeming discrepency of its "parts" is merely a function of layout conservation and not area definition. Don't get too hung up on it.
MuzikTyme Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 Even equilateral, isosceles, scalene, acute or obtuse?
MindCrime Posted February 19, 2010 Report Posted February 19, 2010 (edited) obtuse Careful, remember what happened when Andy DuFrense said that word in Shawshank Redemption, he got 2 months in the hole. edit: of course you'd remember it, you narrated the damn thing Edited February 19, 2010 by Guest

Shawna Posted March 25, 2010 Report Posted March 25, 2010 I believe I see what's not right... but the question is: why? Is this a legit museum photo?
miamisammy29 Posted March 26, 2010 Report Posted March 26, 2010 What am I missing? The weird dude in the Michigan shirts seems a bit more modern compared to the rest, but he COULD be real. So then, what?
Steel2Velvet Posted March 27, 2010 Report Posted March 27, 2010 Reopening of the South Fork Bridge after flood in Nov. 1940 enlarge the pic and watch if there's anything strange, weird or wacky there... Tom Hanks was there?
