I would take Finland's approach to education. No homework, not a lot of tests, shorter school days and shorter school weeks. That's what makes Finland #1 in education. America is #17 because we get a lot of homework and have to do state standardized tests at the end of the year. I actually have no problem with school being 5 days a week for 6 hours a day, though.

Except homework has been proven to help in education, and as personally, revision and homework helps me leaps and bounds in remembering things. |

Yea, homework kinda helps me also. In pre-algebra, we did some 8th grade version of distributive property and it was hard and confusing. Then we had to do a homework assignment on it and now it's easy.

I did also. In fact, I was learning distributive property in 5th or 6th grade. But when you get to pre-algebra in 8th grade at my school and learn distributive property, it's a little different. I'll show you an extremely easy problem for now:
8x[2+9y]
16x+72y is the answer.

finn you are wrong with distributive property
"No homework, not a lot of tests, shorter school days and shorter school weeks. That's what makes Finland #1 in education. America is #17 because we get a lot of homework and have to do state standardized tests at the end of the year"
yes because the more practice you get the worse you are at it |

one of my questions
prove that the sum to infinity of r (integers) in P(X=x) equals 1 where X~Po(q) (this has to be true because it's a probability distribution) |

I don't like any of it, but sadly it is needed and required. If you became president we would be farther behind then we already are.

GAH, I made up the problem wrong. Correction:
8[2x+9y]
16x+72y is the answer for the corrected problem.

also admins if you are reading this please add a math symbols ability on the forums so we can properly write stuff like this |

how do we know the distributive property actually works
i guess if we tear multiplication to its definition
a*(b+c)
= b+c + b+c + b+c... (a times) = b+b+b... (a times) + c+c+c...(a times) = ab + ac
boeing is that an actual proof help |

-12x And I got confused. We never learned how to do those types of problems. There would usually be an equal sign so it would be easy for me to do.
