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.

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.
