My teachers did explain it that way. European school, if that matters.
European school, if that matters. Heh. Yeah, that matters. In my experience, US highschools are very much "Okay class, today we're going to memorize these formulas."
I don't think its that easy, it depends more on the specific school and most of all on the teacher. For the record: I also had to memorize it and i went to an "european" school, or rather to an austrian one. Europe still has a wide variety of education systems.

This is one of the most beautiful pieces of art I've ever seen! ... and the top comment is typical negative nitpicking! Why HN? Why?! There must be a better way!
Why do we keep calling it "typical negative nitpicking"? How about calling it "feedback"? Or maybe even "the most useful type of feedback"?
We're encouraged here to post things that add value. But that pretty much implies either criticism or going off-topic ("hey, I've seen something similar here:", etc.). There is no practical value in "positive" comments, no matter how elaborately you can write "I liked it". Yes, it will make everyone feel a little bit better, but it hardly contributes anything of value to anyone.
Not every criticism is a valuable feedback, but every valuable feedback is a kind of criticism. And I think the best thing about HN is that it has lots of civil nitpicking (usually followed by interesting discussions), instead of circle jerks and compliments.

> Why HN? Why?! There must be a better way!
There is: it's to stop taking criticism so personally and instead extract as much value from it as one can, and discard the rest. I find it to be a good attitude for life in general, not just HN.
