Why government would not negotiate with terrorists?

If you give terrorists what they want, you will prove that terrorism is a successful strategy and you will encourage others to also use terrorism to get what they want. The more that terrorism is rewarded, the more terrorism we will get. Much the same principle applies in dealing with kidnappers. You can pay them off to get them to release their victims, but that will just encourage them to keep kidnapping more people and collecting more ransoms indefinitely.

How can you prevent a homeschooled child from being bored with their work?

We often use themes. We will assign a theme for each week. As the kids get older, the themes change. It takes a little more planning, but the kids always look forward to them. Pay attention to current events, new movie releases, museum exhibits, festivals, fairs, circuses, zoo happenings, and other things. You can shape your themes around these. If funds are a little tight, and homeschooling they often are, search for movie rentals or discounted rates for events. We often pick up annual passes as a way to cut costs. An example of a theme we have used is as follows.

In one daughter's second grade year, we had a frog week. We did our regular school work. In addition we used froggy stamps and stickers on her graded work, we checked books out of the library about frogs of the Amazon rainforest, we listened to frog sounds online, rented "Kermit, the Swamp Years," went to the zoo and checked out the frog exhibit that was in town, printed free frog coloring pages off the internet, hopped around on the trampoline frog style. We also went down to the local lake and caught tadpoles. We grew them in a small tank. When we were done, we went back and released them from where we found them. We have also used themes of butterflies, fish, New York, Asian, Colonial American, robots, space, comics, and many others.

Another cool thing is to incorperate the kitchen into the classroom. If you are doing an Asian week, let the kids plan some Asian meals. Help them make a stir fry. Use some lemon grass and other items that may not usually be on your menu. Sit on cushions in the livingroom floor around the coffee table to eat it with chop sticks. Watch Mulan, or another age appropraite Asian theme movie.

How do you prevent child labor in Indonesia?

Child labor in Indonesia is relatively low compare to India or China, we only have less than 10 percent child labor, this figure has dropped from previous year which child labor was quite common in late 90s

The only child labor that i mostly see everyday is kids forced to beg money in urban area or in traffic light by their parent

so most Indonesian suppose not to give some money to the the young beggar, i think only lazy people / parent who ask their children to be at dangerous place, so we need to raise awareness toward everyone

Which publishers accept books written by 11 year olds?

I believe that any major publishing house, or minor one, would be happy to accept a book written by an 11 year old, assuming it met all their standards of quality.

That could be hard for an 11 year old to do, but prodigies do exist, so if one feels they have a good book, then after looking up how to submit it, they should. Remember, it has to be submitted a certain way and in a certain format.

Good Luck!
