Corona på arbejdspladsen (rant/hjælp udbedes)

2021.11.15 18:43 ThatNinthGuyCorona på arbejdspladsen (rant/hjælp udbedes)

Kære hestenettet Velkommen til min post. Det bliver nok en rant, men jeg vil også gerne have råd til hvordan jeg skal håndtere sagen.
Nå, men historien starter forrige torsdag... Jeg arbejder i en lille familievirksomhed på kontoret, hvor jeg sidder med chefens søn og kone i et åbent kontorlandskab. Chefens datter kommer så på besøg og er der i lidt tid. Det samme sker sidste mandag, hvor hun hænger ud i ~30 minutter og snakker med sin familie. Dagen efter tester hun så positiv på covid, og ved middagstid er jeg hjemsendt med plan om at det skal forsætte resten af ugen og deres yngste søn (ikke min kollega) er ligeledes testet positiv.
Han bor med mor og far på deres båd (ikke lille, men you know heller ikke så stort som et hus) og her i fredags begynde chefen så at hoste lidt... Chefen tester så positiv her til formiddag efter at have siddet i bil i en times tid og til møde med min kollega (ældste søn), så han camperer lige pt i et sommerhus, mens han sløjer den af.
Sagen er at jeg bor til leje hos en ældre mand, der er i risikogruppe og skulle jeg blive syg, ville det være meget svært ikke at smitte ham, foruden min roomie på 21 (ham er jeg ikke så bekymret for), så jeg har forhørt mig om muligheden for at arbejde hjemmefra de næste par dage, men fik i stedet 'lov til' at sidde ude i frokoststuen med en bærbar... /rant over
Det var altså muligt at arbejde hjemmefra, da ingen på arbejdspladsen var positive, men nu hvor chefen er syg og jeg sidder på kontor med 2 potentielle smittekilder er det helt umuligt at få til at fungere. Hvad fuck gør jeg lige her?
Jeg har opsagt min stilling pr. 30/11, så har faktisk intet at miste, so don't hold back. Jeg gider bare heller ikke starte mit nye job med en sygeperiode, og da slet ikke covid...
Bonus: Chefens kone siger at hun jo godt kan handle ind til de to syge børn, da hun 'jo ikke er positiv endnu'.

2021.09.07 00:25 DemografiSkaebneEngle og Sjakaler - Det er Danmark, der betaler

SJAKAL MANIFESTET 2008
Vi bruger ordet ”sjakal” om de som vi med god grund foragter. En betegnelse som passer godt i denne sammenhænge og som set ud fra dyrets sande natur, er velvalgt. Sjakalerne er nemme at genkende med deres stupide holdninger og feje handlingsmønstre. Betegnelsen for dem bygger ikke på fordomme eller en snæversynet uforståelighed omkring deres ”svære vilkår”, men er derimod grundigt overvejet ud fra utallige oplevelser og et liv iblandt dem. Fra dengang de var få og til i dag, hvor de er mange nok til at samle sig i flok. Sjakal Manifestet skal ikke opfattes som en hån imod mennesker med en anden hudfarve eller religion, ligeså lidt som det er en hån imod dyret der lægger navn til! Visse frelste personer vil sikkert opfatte det sådan og fred være med dem, og lad i øvrigt dem om at være ofre. Nej, Manifestet skal opfattes som et brugbart redskab til forståelse for, hvem de mennesker er, som med terror, trusler og vold holder uskyldige danskere; børn, unge og ældre af alle racer og begge køn, i et frygtens jerngreb. Sidst men ikke mindst bør betegnelsen bruges som et værn mod racismens åndelige fordærv.
Ved udarbejdelsen af dette manifest er propaganda fra politi, politikere og medier ikke brugt. Manifestet bygger på facts – virkelige hændelser og lang tids oplevelser med omtalte sjakaler. Det handler om at forstå og definere, hvilke personer vi har med at gøre. At bruge betegnelsen ”perkere” om disse tobenede sjakaler vil være misvisende og at skyde med spredehagl. ”Perker” er et stigmatiserende racistisk udtryk, ganske som brugen af ordet ”rocker” er blevet det i forhold til bikere. Ligesom ”rocker” er blevet kædet sammen med ”kriminalitet”, kædes det nu også sammen med ”fremmed” og er dermed et godt eksempel på, hvordan negative ord bruges forkert og forstærker folks frygt og had uden grund. Ingen med bare en lille smule fornuft bør foragte eller være efter uskyldige og ordentlige mennesker blot fordi disse er anderledes, har en anden farve eller kultur, eller fordi det er på mode! Det vil i sidste ende sænke dem selv ned på det stadie, hvor netop sjakalerne finder deres tankegods og hører hjemme.
Sjakalerne findes hovedsageligt blandt folk af arabisk herkomst, alt andet ville være forkert at påstå. Andre nationaliteter er repræsenteret, endog dumme pæredanske drenge. Medlemmer af de såkaldte indvandrerbander er ikke nødvendigvis sjakaler og såfremt tvivl opstår om hvem de er, hvor de kommer fra og hvad de indeholder, så kommer her en glimrende profil på sjakalen:
- Alene og uden våben er de stort set ufarlige over for almindelige voksne mennesker. I sådanne situationer optræder de som oftest venligt, endog krybende og grænsende til det usympatisk fedtende. Når man kender deres holdninger og ved hvad de indeholder og er klar over hvad de siger om en når man har vendt ryggen til dem, virker de nærmest ynkelige.
- I flok fra tre og opefter ændrer de karakter, bliver arrogante og modige. Her angriber de gerne uden varsel og årsag og det går udover unge som gamle.
- De hader danskere; mentaliteten, levevisen, kristendommen og dens symboler. Ofte angiver de racisme som hovedårsag til at de hader, men de kan ikke se ”splinten” i eget øje og tror at racisme kun er hvid mod sort. De betragter Danmark som et luderland og jo mere ondt de kan tilføje landets borgere, jo bedre har de det.
- De terroriserer børn og unge i en sjælden grad set i dette land. Så groft og massivt, at det har givet ordet ”mobning” en helt ny mening, og det går ud over alle – også de nydanskere som i sjakalernes øjne er for integrerede og dermed forrædere overfor den fornemmelse af ”statsløshed” og ”vi-har-ret” mentalitet, som deres opdragelse og forskruede hjerner har skabt. Mange sjakaler påstår at de er ofre for krig, er børn af krig, eller praler med at de har været i krig, men deres ”krige” ligger langt fra det Danmark som har givet dem alle en chance. At de ikke rejser tilbage eller væk til deres ”krige” frem for at skabe dem her, skyldes; at deres forældre er flygtet fra krig, at de selv er flygtet fra krig, eller fordi de aldrig har været i nærheden af en krig!
- De har ingen respekt for venlighed og høflig optræden, med mindre den kommer fra deres far, ældre onkler eller imamer. Høflige og venlige mennesker ser de som lette ofre, som feje og frygtsomme og de tilsviner dem straks, når de er uden for hørevidde.
- De har ingen naturlig respekt for ældre mennesker – bortset fra ovennævnte personer. De ser intet forkert i at genere eller terrorisere dem, eller sågar bruge vold imod dem.
- Før lovstramningerne omkring opholdstilladelser og dansk statsborgerskab syntes de, at det var latterligt at søge dansk statsborgerskab, hvis ikke de havde fået det automatisk, eller var født i ”luderland”. Det var nok at være her, at nyde goderne og opføre sig idiotisk.
- På trods af at de næsten alle er født og opvokset i Danmark benytter de et tabersprog med en stærk påtaget accent. Denne talemåde har de tillagt sig fordi de hader alt dansk, også sproget, og fordi de er imponeret over det sprog som de sorte i USA's ghettoer taler. De ønsker at markere; at de står udenfor samfundet og er gangstas. På den måde identificerer de sig med hinanden og dén virkelige racisme som sorte har været ud for. De påtager sig offerrollen – den er central i deres livsopfattelse.
- De har alle en kvindeundertrykkende mentalitet som de kun lige magter at dæmpe, når de skal score, eller hvis de befinder sig på udebane. Denne mentalitet stammer formentlig fra en opvækst og opdragelse, hvor de allerede fra seks-syv års alderen har fået lov til at bestemme over deres mor og ældre søskende af modsatte køn.
- De foragter de danske piger, deres selvstændighed og frisind, med mindre de gør hvad de beder dem om, indlader sig med dem eller konverterer til islam. Gør de ikke det så betragtes de rask væk som ludere og det er ikke med et kærligt glimt i øjet! Dette kommer ofte til udtryk ved; tilfældige møder på gaden, på diskoteker, i forbindelse med gruppevoldtægter, når piger forsøger at slå op med dem og ved ekskæreste-situationer generelt.
- Hvis de mener at deres egne søstre, kusiner, mødre eller sågar ekskærester; går forkert klædt, går for meget i byen, nyder alkohol eller taler for meget med vantro, lægger de pres på dem. Retter de ikke ind risikerer de udstødelse, trusler, vold eller det der er værre.
- Hvis nogen vover at komme med hentydninger, komplimenter eller jokes om ”deres” kvinder, så opfattes det aldrig som sjov eller en venlighed, men derimod som et angreb på sjakalernes såkaldte ”ære”.
- Møder de modstand i en diskussion eller risikerer tæv i en konkret situation, falder de straks ned på jorden og hyler og jamrer som rigtige sjakaler.
- Får de tæv piber og skriger de og søger straks tilbage til deres egne og foregiver at de har vundet slagsmålet. Kun hvis de ligger på intensiv, eller hvis de synlige skader er for store, erkender de at de har fået røvfuld. I sådanne tilfælde fortæller de altid at der har været mange om dem og at de er blevet overfaldet!
- Er de mange nok finder de sig ikke i at nogen kigger på dem, på de piger som de er i selskab med, ind i deres biler, eller bare i deres retning. Er de derimod alene eller i undertal kigger de ned i jorden eller bort, formentlig fordi de skammer sig, da de kender deres eget værd.
- De optræder altid aggressivt i trafikken og ved tilfældige færdselsuheld vil de tilkalde forstærkning fra flere sjakaler og forsøge at true sig til at modparten påtager sig skylden, eller endog overfalde denne. Redningsfolk, der ellers burde være noget nær hellige kan de finde på at overfalde i deres fælles ophidselse.
- De optræder i flok fra 10-12 års alderen, men de fleste trækker sig fra balladen og sjakaltilværelsen når de passerer 25 års alderen, bliver gift og får børn. Det pudsige er at de så mener at alt bør være tilgivet.
- De tilhører ikke nødvendigvis en bande. Mange af dem færdes i det daglige enkeltvis eller et par stykker sammen, men så snart de samles og bliver mange nok føler de sig ovenpå og så slår sjakalmentaliteten ud i lys lue.
Et tydeligt tegn på at en sjakal føler sig usikker og derfor ikke tør slås, er hvis han råber højt og gestikulerer. Tomme trusler er et speciale og helst på sikker afstand; at give fuckfinger fra en forbipasserende bil, skrive slagord på husmure eller hadefulde meddelelser i fængselsceller er gode eksempler her på. Sådanne risikofrie handlinger opfatter sjakalerne pudsigt nok som sejre!
- Frygten er deres våben og netop det at fredelige mennesker ved at de kan finde på at angribe uden grund, i flok og bevæbnet med kniv, er årsagen til at mange almindelige borgere lever i daglig frygt for sjakaler når de færdes udenfor deres hjem.
- Modsat bikerne (i medierne rockerne), som også af medierne er blevet dæmoniseret, så betragter sjakalerne ”frygten for dem”, som noget stort. Hvor bikerne opfatter unødig frygt fra fremmede og almindelige mennesker som en belastning, opfatter sjakalerne denne frygt som et udtryk for at andre har respekt for dem. At de er noget!
- De fleste sjakaler har udenlandsk baggrund, men der findes enkelte ”gale hunde” af etnisk dansk herkomst. De er enten vokset op det forkerte sted, eller er blevet tiltrukket af den respekt (læs frygt) som sjakalerne, men i høj grad også politi og presse, har skabt omkring sjakaltilværelsen.
- Langt de fleste sjakaler er muslimer, i hvert fald når de er hjemme hos far eller taler med præsten. De foregiver at tro på Gud og at de følger koranen. De påkalder sig ofte Allah – særligt når de sidder i fængsel og er alene og bange. I det daglige kniber det dog med at følge troens sande vej: De ryger hash, tager stoffer, begår kriminalitet, drikker alkohol, slås, bander og svovler, knepper udenom, og de kan i hvert fald ikke beskyldes for IKKE at tage renter! Det eneste som de fleste følger fra deres tro er, at de holder sig fra svinekød og prøver at følge Ramadanen så godt som de kan, ellers er Gud og troens retningslinjer kun en trøst, når de er væk fra flokkens sikkerhed. Denne form for tro og trøst bruges af flokkenes ledere som et magtredskab og til at holde samling når der ikke er anden fornuft bag deres ønsker.
Sjakalerne fremstilles af og til som ”fremmedrockere” og det er blevet almindeligt for politi og presse at gå ud i offentligheden og fortælle, at de sjakaler der er en del af bandemiljøet er værre end ”rockerne”. Det er en søgt sammenligning, men den skaber god frygt hos hr. og fru Danmark. Bikerne har aldrig opført sig på sådan vis, ikke engang da nogle af dem var rockere! Den almindelige dansker må selvfølgelig være rystet når han eller hun hører om nogen der er værre end rockerne. Nu er han/hun gennem de sidste tyve år blevet tudet ørerne fulde med hvor slemme de såkaldte ”rockere” vaer og så dukker der nogen op som er endnu værre!
Selv om disse sjakaler langt fra er uskyldige og i hel uhørt grad benytter sig af meningsløs vold, så må det medgives at netop politi og presse har været med til at gejle dem op. Det har blandt andet givet dem den smule mod, som de aldrig nogensinde selv ville have haft, hvis ikke det var for den megen omtale – noget der i sidste ende har gjort dem farligere for alle de som ikke vil, eller ikke kan forsvare sig.
Kulturberigelse er sjakalerne bestemt ikke en del af og der er snarere tale om rendyrkede tabere med påtaget offerrolle. Når mange danskere ikke føler at de har behov eller lyst til at række hånden frem mod islam, så er det næppe terroren ude i verden eller enkelte individers mere eller mindre skjulte kriminalitet, der er årsagen. Det er snarere deres møde med dagligdagens sjakaler. Aldrig i livet om man bør bøje hovedet for sådan noget menneskeligt affald!

2021.01.05 17:16 dksprocketMegatråd: Pressemøde med Mette Frederiksen - Niveau 5 og strammere restriktioner

https://www.dr.dk/nyhedeindland/live-pressemoede-om-coronasituationen-0
https://www.dr.dk/nyhedeindland/regeringen-forbyder-forsamlinger-paa-mere-end-fem-personer-vi-staar-i-et-reelt
Mette Frederiksen:
  • Mette Frederiksen siger, at vi er gået på niveau 5, som er det højeste risikoniveau herhjemme.
  • 'Vi er igen nødt til at skærpe indsatsen. Derfor vil vi sænke forsamlingsforbuddet til fem personer og komme med nye tiltag', siger hun.
  • Mette Frederiksen siger, at de nye restriktioner indføres på baggrund af den nye, meget smitsomme mutation, som angiveligt så dagens lys i England. Hun siger, at varianten som sådan ikke gør folk mere syge, men den er meget meget smitsom.
  • Mette Frederiksen opfordrer danskerne til at arbejde hjemmefra, købe ind én person ad gangen, undgå at mødes med personer uden for hustanden samt at aflyse aftaler, hvor det er muligt.
  • 'Smittekurven vil være stejlere og have et højere toppunkt, end den udvikling vi kender. Derudover skal en større del af befolkningen være immune for at vi kan få flokimmunitet. Hvis ikke vi griber ind, så vil flere dø, og vores sundhedsvæsen vil komme under stort pres', siger Mette Frederiksen.
  • Statsministeren fortæller, at regeringen overvejer, om der skal flere restriktioner for indrejse fra andre lande end Storbritannien. Blandt andet gælder det et Sydafrika, hvor der også er fundet en farlig mutation.
  • 'Vi skal holde to meters afstand til hinanden. Det gælder i dagligvarerbutikker, men det gælder også i det offentlige rum', siger Mette Frederiksen.
  • Mette Frederiksen siger, at vi er i et ' reelt kapløb med tiden'. Hun opfordrer til, at danskerne udviser solidaritet og står sammen. 'Vi har jo ved flere andre lejligheder vist, hvad vi sammen kan i det her land. Nu skal vi i de kommende uger få banket smitten så meget ned, som det kan lade sig gøre', siger hun.
Sundhedsminister Magnus Heunicke:
  • Han slår fast, at det ikke længere er et spørgsmål om, hvorvidt den engelske variant får fat i Danmark og bliver den bærende. Det gør den, understreger han.
  • Han fortæller om billeder fra England, hvor ambulancer holder i kø. Forhåbentligt vil de nye restriktioner sørge for, at den slags scener ikke udspiller sig i Danmark.
  • Udviklingen i Storbritannien viser, hvor farligt denne variant er. Kapaciteten i sygehusvæsnet er under massivt pres. De restriktioner vi indføre i Danmark gør, at vi kan undgå den situation, siger Magnus Heunicke.
  • Heunicke tilføjer, at der vil gå et stykke tid, før vi for alvor kan se effekten af restriktonerne.
Søren Brostrøm (Sundhedsstyrelsen):
  • 'Vi skal gribe ind nu for at få smitten ned - ellers kan sundhedsvæsenet ikke følge med.'
  • 'Det er vigtigt, at vi alle gør noget helt ekstra nu for at få bøjet smittekurverne af og få brudt smittekæderne', siger han.
  • Og så gentager han, hvad Mette Frederiksen sagde om, at man makismalt bør mødes fem personer. Og så bør man helt generelt aflyse sine aftaler.
Henrik Ullum (SSI):
  • Der har været en højere dødelighed hos den ældre del af befolkningen i de sidste dage i 2020.
  • Han siger, at vi skal undgå, at smitten bliver eksponentiel, for ellers vil sundhedsvæsenet igen komme under et voldsomt pres. Det er sket to gange før under epidemien - i i foråret og i december. I begge tilfælde har det lagt sundhedsvæsnet under ekstremt pres. Den situation skal vi ikke komme i igen, siger Henrik Ullum.
  • Ullum nævner, at der også er en meget smitsom variant i Sydafrika, men den er ikke blevet registreret i Danmark.
Thomas Senderovitz (Lægemiddelstyrelsen):
  • Der er ikke umiddelbart noget, der tyder på, at coronavaccinen ikke virker mod den engelske variant.
Thorkild Fogde (Rigspolitiet):
  • 'Er man far og mor og fire børn, så får man ikke husarrest. Men vi skal allesammen tænke os om, når vi går ud af døren', siger Thorkild Fogde.
Det var opsummeringen af meddelelserne. Som udgangspunkt vil jeg ikke lave resumépunkter for spørgsmålene, men PM mig hvis der mangler noget i ovenstående.

2019.10.29 23:53 BloodAndSeedPoul Andersen: Skolefriheden efter den danske Grundlov (1939)

1. Medens der hverken i den norske Grundlov eller de svenske Grundlove findes Bestemmelser om Skole­gang eller anden Undervisning, har baade den danske, islandske og finske Grundlov Bestemmelser af denne Art. Den finske Regeringsform indeholder endog et helt Afsnit VIII om „Undervisningsvæsenet“, der giver udførlige Regler om de forskellige, højere og lavere Arter af Undervisning. Ogsaa i mange andre Statsforfatninger findes der saadanne Bestemmelser.
Ofte udtales i Overensstemmelse med demokratisk, liberal Tankegang et vist Frihedsprincip: Forfatnin­gen garanterer Undervisningens Frihed, Undervisnin­gen er fri el. lign. Den danske og den finske Forfat­ning sikrer særligt Forældrenes Ret til selv at under­vise deres Børn eller lade dem undervise hjemme eller i private Skoler. Ifølge den danske Grundlovs § 83, 2. Pkt. er saaledes Forældre eller Værger, der selv sør­ger for deres Børns Undervisning, ikke forpligtet til at lade Børnene undervise i Folkeskolen, og ifølge den finske Regeringsforms § 82, 2. Stk. er Hjemmeundervisning ikke undergivet offentligt Tilsyn. Mange For­fatninger fastslaar, at det Offentlige skal drage Om­sorg for Skoleundervisning, navnlig den elementære Børneundervisning, og at Undervisningen skal ydes uden Vederlag. I den danske Grundlovs § 83, 1. Pkt. hedder det saaledes, at de Børn, hvis Forældre ikke har Evne til at sørge for deres Oplærelse, har Ret til fri Undervisning i Folkeskolen, og ifølge den finske Regeringsforms § 80, 2. Stk. skal Undervisning i Folke­skolen være afgiftsfri for alle. En lignende Bestem­melse findes t. Eks. i Albanien, Bolivia, Bulgarien, Jugoslavien, Portugal og Svejts. Hyppige er endvidere Forfatningsbestemmelser vedrørende selve Undervis­ningens Indhold. I adskillige syd- og mellemamerikan­ske Stater, saaledes Brasilien, Honduras, Meksiko, Sal­vador, er det fastslaaet, at Undervisningen skal være ureligiøs; men omvendt siges det i Columbias Forfatning, at den offentlige Undervisning skal organiseres og ledes i Overensstemmelse med den katolske Reli­gion. Undervisningens Forhold til Religionen eller Kirken har overhovedet ofte givet Anledning til For­fatningsbestemmelser. I Irland kan ingen Lov ind­skrænke Børns Ret til at besøge offentlige Skoler uden Forpligtelse til at tage Del i Religionsundervisningen, i Danzig skal Religionen være et Led i Undervisningen, i Lichtenstein skal Undervisningen respektere Religio­nen, i Jugoslavien skal der i Undervisningen udvises religiøs Tolerance, og Religionsundervisningen skal ind­ rettes efter Forældrenes Ønske og religiøse Opfattelse, i Portugal skal Religionsundervisningen være neutral.
Alle saadanne Forfatningsbestemmelser har deres særegne, historiske Forudsætninger, der hænger sam­men med vigtige Sider af Folkets politiske, kulturelle og religiøse Udvikling. Dette er ogsaa Tilfældet med den ovenfor nævnte Bestemmelse i den danske Grund­lovs § 83, 2. Pkt., hvis Oprindelse og Indhold skal søges belyst i det følgende.
2. Udgangspunktet for Udviklingen indenfor det danske Skolevæsen i det 19. og 20. Aarhundrede er en Anordning af 29. Juli 1814 om Almueskolevæsenet paa Landet, en Anordning af s. D. om Borger- og Almueskolevæsenet i Købstæderne, samt et Reglement af s. D. for Almue- og Borgerskolevæsenet i København. Baade de to Anordninger og Reglementet forudsætter en al­mindelig Skolepligt. Ifølge Skoleanordningen for Lan­det § 18 bortfalder imidlertid Forpligtelsen til at lade Børn eller Tyende søge Almueskolerne for dem, som ved en Student, seminaristisk oplært Skolelærer eller paa anden Maade saaledes drager Omsorg for deres Børns, Myndlinges eller Tyendes Undervisning, at Amtsskoledirektionen efter indhentet Oplysning fra Sognekommissionen finder anden Skolegang for disse ufornøden. En ganske tilsvarende Bestemmelse findes i Skoleanordningen for Købstæderne, hvorimod Regle­mentet for København §§ 46—50 har en noget afvi­gende Ordning. Forældre kunde altsaa kun efter en forudgaaende Tilladelse undlade at sende deres Børn i Almueskolerne.
Dette var utilfredsstillende for den Grundtvigske Skolebevægelse, der omkring Midten af det 19. Aar­ hundrede bl. a. stærkt hævdede Forældrenes og Hjem­menes Ret og Pligt til selv at tage sig af deres Børns Undervisning. Denne Skolebevægelse har haft afgø­rende Indflydelse paa dansk Skolelovgivning og har bl. a. givet sig Udslag i den Grundlovsbestemmelse, som er Genstanden for nærværende Afhandling.
Bevægelsens Hovedmænd er Digteren, Præsten og Folkeopdrageren Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig og Skolemanden Kristen Mikkelsen Kold.
Grundtvigs Skoletanker har først og fremmest baaret Frugt i den danske Folkehøjskole; men ogsaa for Barneskolen har han haft afgørende Betydning. Han bekæmpede den rent forstandsmæssige Undervisning af Børn, „Skolen for Døden“: „.. aandsfortærende, dræbende er ikke blot Matematiken og Grammatiken, men alt betydeligt Hovedbrud for Mennesket i Barne­alderen, før Hjernen med det øvrige Legeme er ret ud­viklet, og førend Livet, det indvortes saavelsom det udvortes, er blevet os saa vidt bekendt, at vi kan gen­finde det i Beskrivelsen og føle en naturlig Lyst til at oplyses om dets Vilkaar. Ved derfor at ville indplante Alderdommens Orden og Stilhed, Betænksomhed og Klogskab i Børnene, indpode vi dem kun Døden i Al­derdommens Svaghed baade paa Sjæl og Legeme; hos mange af dem tilintetgøre vi aldeles Livskraften, saa de alt som halvvoksne Drenge hensvinde som Skyg­ger, og hos dem alle arbejde vi paa at nedbryde Men­neskenaturen ved at trodse dens Love ...“. „Indbild­ningskraften trælbindes, og Følelsen forebygges til Bedste for en ubetimelig Eftertanke.“ I Stedet kræver Grundtvig en „Skole for Livet“, der ikke gør „Oplys­ningen eller sig selv, men Livets Tarv til sit Øjemed“, og som maa „tage Livet som det virkelig er, og kun stræbe at oplyse og fremme dets Brugbarhed“. Den eneste gode Drengeskole for Borger-Livet er „dygtige og driftige Borgeres Huse“. „At kende Bogstaver og lægge dem sammen ... læres bedst hos gamle Koner“. Religionsundervisningen bør udgaa af Skolerne; „thi hvad danske Børn maa lære om Troens Ord og Be­kendelse, det skal ikke være en Lektie, men det maa Børnene lære af de ældre, uden at de egentlig ved af det“. Al Skoletvang, der daglig maa gøre Skolen slettere, bør ophæves; til Lærere bør vælges „de livligste Mennesker, man kan finde“.
Blandt dem, der blev grebet af Grundtvigs Skole­ tanker og derved kom i stærk Opposition til den al­mindelige Almueskole, var Kold den, som fik afgø­rende Betydning for disse Tankers Virkeliggørelse. Udgaaet fra et fattigt Haandværkerhjem og maadeligt udrustet med Kundskaber grundlagde han i Midten af forrige Aarhundrede efter mange Omskiftelser og Op­levelser en Skole paa Fyn for unge Bønderkarle og en Børneskole. Kolds Undervisning var i begge stærkt personlighedspræget. Han vilde lære Folk „at elske Gud, sin Næste og sit Fædreland“ ; Metoden liar han angivet med Ordene: „først oplive, saa oplyse“.
Kolds Virksomhed fik grundlæggende Betydning for den danske Folkehøjskole, og hans Børneskole blev Forbilledet for de senere „Friskoler“ : private Børne­ skoler, som i Reglen er oprettet af de skolesøgende Børns Forældre. Disse Skoler, der bandlyste al Uden­adslæren, især i Religionsundervisningen, og lagde Ho­vedvægten paa Lærerens mundtlige Fremstilling og personlige Paavirkning af Børnene, navnlig i kristelig Retning, vandt stor Udbredelse paa Landet og har haft en væsentlig Indflydelse ogsaa paa Undervisningen i den offentlige Skole. De findes endnu i ret stort Antal.
Denne Friskolebevægelse, der paa mange Maader maatte komme i et Modsætningsforhold til den offent­lige Børneskole og til Skolemyndighederne, især fordi Forældrenes Adgang til at lade deres Børn undervise udenfor den offentlige Skole som foran nævnt beroede paa en forudgaaende Tilladelse, har affødt den udvi­dede Skolefrihed, som blev fastslaaet i en Lov af 2. Maj 1855. En Ven af Kold og hans Skoletanker, Præ­sten L. D. Hass, hvem Kold i 1842 ledsagede som Tje­ner paa en Missionsrejse til Lilleasien, forelagde som Medlem af Folketinget i 1852 Tinget et Lovforslag, hvorefter Børns Forpligtelse til Skolegang i Reglen skulde ophøre med 14 Aars Alderen, uanset om de var konfirmerede. En saadan Bestemmelse blev ikke gen­nemført; men under Sagens Behandling paa Rigsda­gen i 1853 foreslog bl. a. J. N. Madvig i Landstingsudvalget en Lov, hvis § 1 i Hovedsagen svarer til § 1 i Loven af 1855. Forslaget blev vedtaget af Rigsdagen i Marts 1854; men A. S. Ørsted, der var Premiermini­ster samt Minister for Kirke- og Undervisningsvæsenet, foranledigede, at Kongen nægtede at stadfæste Loven, som imidlertid blev vedtaget paany i næste Rigsdagssamling. Grundtvig, der i Sommeren 1854 var blevet Medlem af Folketinget, støttede naturligvis Lovforslaget. (Det kan „aldrig være andet end daarlige Skolelærere, der ønske, at hele Befolkningens Børn skulle drives sammen i deres Skoler“). Under 2. Maj 1855 stadfæstedes Loven, hvis § 1 er saalydende:
„Forpligtelsen til Skolegang bortfalder for de Børn, hvis Forældre eller Værger erklære selv at ville sørge for deres Undervisning og regelmæssigt, efter Tilsi­gelse, lade dem møde til Overhøring i Distriktets Skole ved hver ordentlig Eksamen, saalænge Børnene ved disse Prøver af Skolebestyrelsen, nemlig Skole-Kommissionen, skønnes at besidde samme Grad af Kund­skab og Færdighed i de foreskrevne Undervisningsgenstande som Børn af samme Alder i Gennemsnit opnaa i Skolen. Dog kræves Skolebestyrelsens Indvilli­gelse, for at en saadan Fritagelse for Skolegang paany kan gives Børn, der ved Prøven i Skolen ere befundne utilstrækkeligt underviste, eller uden bevislig, uover­vindelig Forhindring ere udeblevne fra Prøven, og en saadan Indvilligelse af Skolebestyrelsen er ligeledes fornøden for de Børn, der ere vedblevne at søge Sko­len indtil det fyldte 12te Aar.“
Loven af 1855 ophævede ikke den ved Anordnin­gerne af 1814 hjemlede Adgang for Forældre til i H. t. en særlig Tilladelse at lade deres Børn undervise uden­ for Almueskolerne. At denne Adgang fortsat skulde staa Forældrene aaben blev under Forhandlingerne paa Rigsdagen navnlig fremhævet af Madvig, hvis Forslag som ovenfor nævnt ligger til Grund for Loven. I administrativ Praksis er det da ogsaa antaget, at Be­stemmelserne fra 1814 var gældende ved Siden af Lo­ven af 1855.
3. Under Forhandlingerne om Grundloven af 5. Juni 1915 fandtes der i Rigsdagen to indflydelsesrige Poli­tikere, som i deres Ungdom havde haft Kristen Kold til Lærer og selv været Lærere ved hans Skoler: Klaus Berntsen og Jørgen Pedersen. Det var førstnævnte, der som Konseilspræsident i 1912 fremsatte det Forslag til Forandringer i Grundloven, hvoraf Grundloven af 1915 fremgik, og ved den afsluttende Behandling i Rigsdagen den 5. Juni 1915 var Klaus Berntsen Ord­fører i Folketinget og Jørgen Pedersen i Landstinget, uagtet ingen af dem hørte til Regeringspartierne. Her­om siger Klaus Berntsen i sine Erindringer: „Det blev for os en uforglemmelig Højtidsdag. Vi var begge Ele­ver af Kristen Kold, hvem Grundtvig havde kaldt den folkelige Oplysnings Hovedmand i Danmark“. Det skyldtes da sikkert først og fremmest disse to Poli­tikere, at der i Grundloven blev indsat en Bestemmelse til Betryggelse af den Skolefrihed, som den Grundtvig-Koldske Skoleretning tillagde saa stor Betydning.
Det var først paa et sent Trin af Grundlovssagens Udvikling, at der fremkom Forslag om en saadan Be­stemmelse, nemlig i Landstingsudvalgets Betænkning af 17. April 1915. Udvalget, hvis Formand var Jør­gen Pedersen, foreslog en saalydende Grundlovsbestem­melse, der ordret blev vedtaget ved de følgende Be­handlinger og nu udgør Indholdet af Grundlovens § 83, 2. Pkt: „Forældre eller Værger, der selv sørger for, at Børnene faar en Undervisning, der kan staa Maal med, hvad der almindeligt kræves i Folkeskolen, er ikke pligtige at lade Børnene undervise i Folkeskolen“. Det hedder i Betænkningen, at Ændringsforslaget „grundlovfæster, hvad der nu er gældende Ret, at For­ ældre eller Værger, der selv paa forsvarlig Maade sør­ger for Børnenes Undervisning, ikke er pligtige at sende dem til den offentlige Skole“. Der sigtes herved naturligvis til Loven af 1855 § 1. Iøvrigt gav Forslaget ikke Anledning til videre Meningsudveksling. Om den Privatundervisning, som skulde være en Betingelse for Fritagelsen for at lade Børnene søge den offentlige Skole, udtalte Klaus Berntsen i Folketinget: „... ved hvem det sker, og hvor det sker, samt paa hvad Maade det sker, er det de enkelte Forældres eller Værgers Sag at tage Beslutning om“.
Denne Udtalelse understreger paa træffende Maade, at det kun er Privatundervisningens Resultater, ikke dens Lærere, Midler og Maade, hvorpaa det kommer an. Dette er netop Princippet i Loven af 1855 § 1, som var Forbilledet for Grundlovsbestemmelsen. Det er der­ for givet, at naar den ved Anordningerne af 1814 hjemlede Adgang for Forældrene til i H. t. en særlig Tilladelse at lade deres Børn undervise udenfor Almue­skolerne blev bestaaende efter Vedtagelsen af Loven af 1855, har ejheller Grundlovens § 83, 2. Pkt. med­ført nogen Forandring i saa Henseende. Dette er ogsaa antaget i administrativ Praksis.
Man har imidlertid ikke altid tilstrækkelig klart haft Øje for Princippet i Grundlovens § 83, 2. Pkt. og Forskellen mellem denne Bestemmelse og Reglerne fra 1814.
Det Forslag til Lov om Folkeskolen, som var til Be­handling i Rigsdagen i Samlingen 1935—36, indeholdt en § 46, 2. Stk., som bl. a. bestemte, at naar den for Barnets Undervisning ansvarlige skriftligt overfor Skolekommissionen erklærer selv at ville sørge for dets Undervisning og paa en efter Skolekommissionens Skøn fyldestgørende Maade godtgør, at det vil faa en Undervisning, der staar Maal med, hvad der alminde­ligt kræves i Folkeskolen, kan Barnet ikke fordres indskrevet i denne. En tilsvarende Bestemmelse inde­holdtes i § 47, 2. Stk. for det Tilfælde, at et Barn for­langes udskrevet af Folkeskolen.
I Rigsdagen blev der rejst Tvivl om disse Bestem­melsers Overensstemmelse med Grundlovens § 83, 2. Pkt., og denne Tvivl var velbegrundet. Forældrenes Ret til selv at tage sig af deres Børns Undervisning var her gjort afhængig af, at Skolemyndighederne efter en paa Forhaand anstillet Undersøgelse giver Sam­tykke til, at Barnet holdes udenfor eller tages ud af den offentlige Skole. Dette svarer til Bestemmelserne fra 1814, men er i Modstrid med Princippet i Loven af 1855 § 1 og Grundlovens § 83, 2. Pkt., der som forannævnt har villet grundlovfæste dette Princip. Store Dele af Rigsdagen og navnlig som foran nævnt en­kelte, indflydelsesrige Medlemmer var i 1915 — og er endnu — præget af det Syn paa Skole- og Undervis­ningsforhold, som førte til Loven af 1855, og det er, hvis man har den historiske Udvikling for Øje, en Selvfølge, at Grundloven ikke er gaaet bag om det Trin i Udviklingen, som Loven af 1855 betegner.
Det omtalte Lovforslag blev da ogsaa ændret, jfr. nedenfor om Folkeskoleloven af 1937.
4. Gaar vi herefter over til en nærmere Undersøgelse af Grundlovens § 83, 2. Pkt., ligger Sagen klar, hvis Forældrene straks fra Undervisningspligtens Indtræden og vedblivende selv drager Omsorg for Børnenes Un­dervisning i de Fag, der hører til Undervisningen i Folkeskolen. Der kan i saa Fald ikke stilles nogetsomhelst Krav om, at Børnene skal besøge en offentlig Skole.
Der er dernæst med Rette antaget, at en Privat­ undervisning, som kun omfatter visse af Folkeskolens Fag, ikke efter Grundloven fritager Forældrene for at lade Børnene nyde den offentlige Skoles Undervisning i de paagældende Fag. Dette udelukker naturligvis ikke, at en saadan Fritagelse kan være hjemlet i den almindelige Lovgivning, idet Grundlovens § 83, 2. Pkt. kun fastslaar en nærmere bestemt Skolefrihed og ikke indeholder nogetsomhelst om, at Børn, der ikke under­vises privat, skal søge den offentlige Skole. Denne For­pligtelse beror alene paa den almindelige Lovgivning. Folkeskoleloven af 1937 har da ogsaa i § 52 indrøm­met Forældrene en særlig Bestemmelsesret m. H. t. deres Børns Undervisning i Kristendomskundskab.
Endelig er det givet, at den grundlovsikrede Skole­ frihed ophører, saa saare og saa ofte det konstateres, at Privatundervisningen ikke kan staa Maal med Fol­keskolens Undervisning. Men den almindelige Lovgiv­ning kan ligeledes i denne Henseende udstrække Fri­heden videre, end Grundloven har gjort det, jfr. Lov om Folkeskolens Styrelse m. v. af 20. Maj 1933 § 44, 1. Stk.
Derimod frembyder Spørgsmaalet om Forældrenes Ret til under Paaberaabelse af Grundlovens § 83, 2. Pkt. at kræve deres Børn udskrevet af Skolen Tvivl i flere Henseender.
Man kunde hævde, at Bestemmelsen slet ikke tillæg­ger Forældrene en saadan Ret. Ligesom det foran er antaget, at Grundloven kun sikrer Skolefrihed for For­ældre, der drager Omsorg for deres Børns Undervis­ning i alle Folkeskolens Fag, kunde det hævdes, at denne Skolefrihed kun tilkommer Forældre, der dra­ger Omsorg for deres Børns Undervisning gennem hele den undervisningspligtige Alder. En saadan Opfattelse, der vel lod sig forene med Grundlovens Ord, er dog ikke stemmende med Grundlovens Mening. Lovgivnin­gen om Skolefrihed har, maaske endog i første Række, taget Sigte paa Forældrenes Ret til at udmelde deres Børn af den offentlige Skole paa Grund af Utilfreds­hed med Læreren eller hans Undervisning, og Loven af 1855 § 1, Forbilledet for Grundlovens § 83, 2. Pkt., forudsætter klart, at Forældre under de der angivne Betingelser har Ret til at tage deres Børn ud af den offentlige Skole.
Denne Ret var imidlertid i Loven af 1855 § 1 un­dergivet den særlige Indskrænkning, at Børn, der hav­de søgt Skolen indtil deres 12. Aar, ikke kunde udskri­ves uden Skolebestyrelsens Samtykke. Bestemmelsen blev under Forhandlingerne om Loven bl. a. begrun­det med, at hvis et Barn blev udskrevet efter den Al­der, og det senere viste sig, at det efter Udskrivningen ikke havde faaet fornøden Undervisning, vilde der ikke kunne bødes derpaa ved fornyet Indskrivning i Skolen, idet Barnet saa oftest vilde være ude over den skolepligtige Alder, der i Almindelighed varede til det fyldte 13. Aar. I Konsekvens af denne Betragtning, mod hvilken der iøvrigt blev gjort adskillige, velbe­grundede Indvendinger, har Lovgivningsmagten, efter at den skolepligtige Alder i 1899 var blevet forlænget til det fyldte 14. Aar, ved Lov Nr. 168 af 17. Maj 1916 § 1 ændret den omtalte Regel i Lov af 1855 derhen, at Skolekommissionens Samtykke til Udskrivning af Sko­len kun skulde være fornødent for de Børns Vedkom­mende, der havde søgt den offentlige Skole indtil det fyldte 13. Aar.
Denne Lovs Gennemførelse er besynderlig derved, at ingen paa Rigsdagen eller udenfor Rigsdagen synes at have været opmærksom paa dens Forhold til den mindre end et Aar før gennemførte Grundlovs § 83, 2. Pkt., hvilket er saa meget mærkeligere, som der under Forhandlingerne paa Rigsdagen ellers blev talt meget om Skolefriheden. Kort før Lovforslagets Frem­sættelse paa Rigsdagen havde Klaus Berntsen og I. C. Christensen forelagt et Forslag til Lov om Skolefrihed; begge Lovforslag var vistnok foranlediget af, at en fynsk Skolekommission med en halsstarrig Præst som Formand havde, som det synes uden tilstrækkelig Grund, nægtet en Fader Tilladelse til at tage sine to Børn ud af den offentlige Skole og sætte dem i en grundtvigsk Friskole, uden at Undervisningsministe­ren havde haft nogen Mulighed for at ændre Skole­ kommissionens Beslutning. Klaus Berntsen citerede Grundtvig: „Skal for Misbrugens Skyld maaske/Paa Aandens Himmelbue/Vi heller Mulm og Mørke se/End Solens blanke Lue“; men han glemte at citere Grund­ loven.
Loven af 1916 § 1 og Loven af 1855 § 1 var for­mentlig grundlovstridige efter den nye Grundlovs Ikrafttræden. Naar det først staar fast, at Grundlo­vens § 83, 2. Pkt. overhovedet giver Forældrene Ret til at udmelde deres Børn af den offentlige Skole, kan en almindelig Lov lige saa lidt betage dem denne Ret i Slutningen som i Begyndelsen af den undervisningspligtige Alder. En Henvisning til, at Loven af 1855 § 1 har tjent som Forbillede for Grundlovens § 83, 2. Pkt., kan ikke føre til noget andet Resultat; thi vel har Grundloven i Princippet kun villet fastslaa den i Loven af 1855 § 1 hjemlede Skolefrihed; men den sær­lige Indskrænkning i denne Frihed, at Forældrene ikke har Ret til at faa deres Børn udskrevet af Skolen in­denfor det sidste Aar af den skolepligtige Alder, er ikke medtaget i Grundloven.
Spørgsmaalet blev fremdraget under Forhandlin­gerne paa Rigsdagen om Folkeskoleloven af 1937. Af Bemærkningerne til Lovforslaget fremgaar det, at der havde været rejst Tvivl om, hvorvidt Loven af 1916 lod sig forene med Grundloven, idet bl. a. Meningerne herom indenfor det juridiske Fakultet, som Undervis­ningsministeriet havde anmodet om en Udtalelse desangaaende, havde været delte, og at Ministeriet da ikke ønskede Bestemmelsen opretholdt. Lovens § 46, 3. Stk. har nu ophævet baade Lov 1916 § 1 og Lov 1855 § 1. Det er hermed ogsaa i den almindelige Lovgivning slaaet fast, at Forældrenes Ret til at forlange deres Børn udskrevet af den offentlige Skole ikke er under­givet nogen særlig Indskrænkning i Slutningen af den undervisningspligtige Alder.
Grundlovens § 83, 2. Pkt. giver i en anden Hen­seende Anledning til Tvivl. Hvis det een Gang er konstateret, at Privatundervisningen ikke kan staa Maal med Folkeskolens Undervisning, og et Barn derfor er blevet indskrevet i en offentlig Skole, kan Forældrene saa (paany) forlange Barnet udskrevet under Angivelse af, at de selv vil sørge for dets Undervisning? Loven af 1855 § 1 indeholdt en udtrykkelig Bestemmelse her­om, idet Børn, der var befundet utilstrækkeligt under­ vist, eller uden bevislig, uovervindelig Hindring var udeblevet fra Prøven, kun kunde udskrives af Skolen med Skolebestyrelsens Samtykke; men Grundlovens § 83, 2. Pkt. udtaler sig ikke om Spørgsmaalet.
Det er klart, at en Ret for Forældrene til saaledes at tage deres Barn ud af en offentlig Skole endog lige efter, at Barnet paa Grund af Privatundervisningens Utilstrækkelighed er blevet indskrevet i Skolen, og saa tit det skal være, vil kunne virke fuldstændigt ødelæg­gende paa Undervisningen gennem hele den undervisningspligtige Alder. Man kunde da i hvert Fald ikke anse Forældrene for berettiget til at faa Barnet ud­skrevet af Skolen, hvor deres Krav herom fremtraadte som et aabenbart Misbrug af Skolefriheden, navnlig hvis det mange Gange var konstateret, at de savnede Evner eller Vilje til at sørge for Barnets Undervisning. En saadan Grænse vilde imidlertid være vanskelig at drage, og det rette er vistnok, at naar det een Gang er konstateret, at Privatundervisningen ikke kan staa Maal med Folkeskolens Undervisning, og Børnene af den Grund er blevet indskrevet i den ofTentlige Skole, har Forældrene ikke nogen grundlovmæssig Ret til (paany) at faa dem udskrevet. Dette er vel foreneligt med Grundlovens Ord; thi i saadanne Tilfælde kan det med fuld Ret siges, at Forældrene ikke hører til dem, der „sørger for, at Børnene faar en Undervisning, der kan staa Maal med, hvad der almindeligt kræves i Folkeskolen“. Den almindelige Lovgivning kan na­turligvis, da Grundloven kun fastslaar en vis, nærmere bestemt Skolefrihed, ikke nogen Forpligtelse for For­ældrene til at lade deres Børn søge en offentlig Skole, indrømme en videregaaende Frihed ogsaa i den her omhandlede Henseende. Men Folkeskoleloven af 1937 indeholder ingen Bestemmelser om Spørgsmaalet. Lo­ven forudsætter desangaaende, at Skolepligten bestaar i det Omfang, den ikke er udelukket ved Grundloven. Resultatet bliver da, at Forældrene i de omhandlede Tilfælde maa falde tilbage paa den i Anordningerne af 1814 hjemlede Adgang til at faa Skolemyndigheder­nes Tilladelse til Barnets Udskrivning af Skolen.
5. Endnu skal gøres nogle Bemærkninger om det Offentliges Kontrol med, at Privatundervisningen hol­der Maal med Folkeskolens Undervisning.
En saadan Kontrol er ingen grundlovmæssig Nød­vendighed. Den almindelige Lovgivning kunde uden at komme i Strid med Grundloven lade sig nøje med en Erklæring fra Forældrene eller slet ingen Ting. P. d. a. S. har Grundloven klart forudsat, at en Kontrol med Privatundervisningens Tilstrækkelighed kan etableres.
Det er som fremhævet ovenfor S. 62 kun Privatun­dervisningens Resultater, der er afgørende for den ved Grundloven hjemlede Skolefrihed. Grundloven er vel ikke til Hinder for, at den almindelige Lovgivning giver Regler om eller etablerer en Kontrol med Privat­undervisningens Lærere, Midler og Maade, t. Eks. for at sikre Børnene mod Sundhedsfare eller moralsk For­dærvelse; men det er alene Konstateringen af Under­visningens Resultater, der kan medføre, at Forældrene bliver forpligtet til at sende Børnene i en offentlig Skole, ikke t. Eks. en Paavisning af, at en Privatlærer medfører Smittefare for Barnet, overanstrenger eller mishandler Barnet osv.
Iøvrigt kan den almindelige Lovgivning frit bestem­me, i hvilket Omfang og paa hvilken Maade Kontrol­len skal linde Sted. Efter Loven af 1855 skulde Bør­nene møde til Overhøring i Distriktets Skole ved hver ordentlig Eksamen, hvilket vakte megen Uvilje inden­ for Friskolekredse. En Lov af 30. September 1864 bestemte da, at privat underviste Børn ved disse Eksa­miner skulde være fritaget for Overhøring i Religions­kundskaber, naar der fremskaffedes Attest fra en Præst for, at Børnene havde tilstrækkelig Kundskab i saa Henseende, samt at Privatskoler under visse Be­tingelser havde Ret til at faa Eksamen afholdt i deres eget Lokale.
Denne liberale Linie er blevet fastholdt i den nyere Skolelovgivning, Lov om Folkeskolens Styrelse og Til­syn samt Tilsynet med private Skoler af 20. Maj 1933 og Lov om Folkeskolen af 18. Maj 1937. Hjemmeundervisning af Børn er ifølge førstnævnte Lovs § 6 undergivet Tilsyn af Skolekommissionen, der selv be­stemmer den Maade, hvorpaa Tilsynet skal udøves; men da Lov 1855 § 1 er ophævet ved Folkeskolelovens § 46, 2. Stk., antages det, at Kommissionen dog ikke kan indkalde Børnene til Overhøring i en Skole eller paa Skolekommissionens Kontor. Hvis paa Landet Skoledirektionen, i Købstæderne Kommunalbestyrel­sen, skønner, at Hjemmeundervisningen er forsvarlig, kan disse Myndigheder tilstaa Fritagelse for Skole­ kommissionens Tilsyn. Finder Privatundervisningen Sted i en Friskole, d. v. s. en Privatskole, der ikke har Eksamensret, er Tilsynsordningen forskellig, eftersom Friskolen har opnaaet Anerkendelse som berettiget til Statstilskud, eller saadan Anerkendelse ikke forelig­ger. I sidstnævnte Tilfælde gælder det samme som foran nævnt vedrørende Tilsynet med Hjemmeundervisning. En Friskole, der har opnaaet Anerkendelse som berettiget til Statstilskud, har derimod ifølge Skoletilsynslovens § 43 en afgørende Medbestemmel­sesret m. H. t. det stedlige Tilsyn med Skolen, idet Til­synet udøves af en Tilsynsførende, der efter Indstilling af Skolens Styrelse anerkendes af Undervisningsmini­steren.
6. Antallet af danske Børn, der undervises i Fri­skolerne, er ca. 3 % af alle Børn udenfor Eksamens­skolerne, og Hjemmeundervisning forekommer natur­ligvis kun sjældent. Men Skolefrihedens Betydning be­ror ikke paa, om den benyttes i større eller mindre Ud­strækning. Den er først og fremmest en grundlov­mæssig Garanti overfor politiske Bestræbelser, der gen­nem Skolen vil paavirke Børnene i en bestemt politisk, religiøs eller antireligiøs Retning, Bestræbelser der jo har vundet Anerkendelse indenfor Nutidens totalitære Statsopfattelser. Forældrenes Ret til at holde deres Børn udenfor den offentlige Skole bliver her deres eneste Tilflugt; en Grundlovsbestemmelse om, at Un­dervisningen i den offentlige Skole skal være „neu­tral“ el. lign., vilde aldrig kunne faa synderlig praktisk Betydning. Historisk har Skolefriheden i Danmark haft størst Betydning ved at skabe Interesse i Befolk­ningen for Skole- og Undervisningsspørgsmaal. Det var navnlig indenfor Befolkningskredse, der sluttede sig til Friskolebevægelsen, at disse Spørgsmaal blev drøftet. I mange Egne af Landet holdtes der omkring Aarhundredskiftet store Skolemøder eller Friskole­møder, og disse Møder, der nu er gaaet noget tilbage, har haft stor Betydning for Gennemførelsen af Reformer i den offentlige Skole.
Skal Skolefriheden være ikke blot et Princip, men et for Befolkningen praktisk tilgængeligt Gode, maa det Offentlige yde Privatundervisningen økonomisk Støtte. Dette sker ogsaa i betydeligt Omfang i Dan­mark. I H. t. en Lov af 22. December 1919 yder Staten Friskolerne et Tilskud, der for hvert Barn svarer til Statens Tilskud til Folkeskolen. Beløbet androg i 1937 56 Kr. pr. Barn, ialt ca. 700,000 Kr., hvortil kommer et Tilskud til Friskolelærernes Efterlønskasse. End­ videre kan Kommunalbestyrelserne i H. t. Loven yde Friskolerne et Tilskud for hvert Barn af indtil Halv­delen af, hvad hvert Barns Undervisning i den offent­lige Skole koster vedkommende Kommune, og denne Bestemmelse udnytter Kommunalbestyrelserne i vidt Omfang.
Den betydelige økonomiske Støtte, der saaledes ydes Friskolerne, beror ikke paa nogen grundlovmæssig Nødvendighed; den er derfor et Vidnesbyrd om, at Skolefriheden i Danmark ogsaa i Nutiden anses for politisk urørlig. Der er da heller ikke under Forhand­lingerne om de mange Grundlovsændringer, som for Tiden er Hovedpunktet i dansk Politik, fra nogen Side udfoldet Bestræbelser for en Indskrænkning eller Op­hævelse af dette grundlovmæssige Frihedsgode.

I løbet af de senere år synes jeg (fodgænger / bruger af offentlig transport), at mange cyklister og nu også folk på løbehjul er blevet dårligere til at overholde de helt almindelige færdselsregler. Ja, bilister er også slemme, og ja, der er også mange cyklister og løbehjulsbrugere, der kører pænt og tager hensyn. Det er ikke dem, mit indlæg handler om.
Jeg er træt af at springe for livet, når cyklister, der udmærket kunne have kørt på vejen, drøner af sted på fortovet. Det er efterhånden hverdagskost at møde den slags vejfobi. Den samme type kører også over for rødt og over fodgængerfeltet, selvom de kun skal flytte sig en meter for at køre lovligt - forleden talte jeg 10 af den slags på 15 min. De blæser rundt i højresving uden at tjekke, om nogen er på vej over, kører i høj fart på gågaderne og stopper ikke op, så buspassagerer kan komme sikkert ud.
Jeg ser dem også presse børn og ældre, der ikke kan holde farten, og nogle bliver decideret vrede over, at der eksisterer andre trafikanter på gaden end dem selv, det være sig fodgængere, bilister eller andre cyklister / løbehjulskørere. Mindre børn lærer ved eksempel, men selvom en voksen måske kan nå at køre over for rødt, er det ikke sikkert, at en på 8 alene kan bedømme risikoen korrekt. Alligevel ser jeg mødre, der cykler sammen med mindre børn, køre fuldstændigt uansvarligt.
Hvad er det der sker? Er der tale om folk, der ikke har hørt om trafikloven siden 2. klasse, eller er de bare pisse ligeglade?

2016.01.02 08:09 Laksefar38Hvordan er man single i 2016?

Efter 16 års forhold er jeg blevet alene og single-livet i dag virker noget anderledes end i år 2000. Dels er jeg selvfølgelig blevet ældre (38) så jeg har nok også nogle andre behov end da jeg var i starten af tyverne, men Danmark står jo heller ikke stille i 16 år. Jeg vil derfor meget gerne høre jeres erfaringer, dels hvordan I får dagene til at gå som single i Kbh (steder, oplevelser, tidsfordriv) men naturligvis også hvor I tager hen for at møde nye mennesker / dates? I forhold til at finde ny kærlighed har jeg oprettet mig på single.dk og overvejer dating.dk da jeg syntes livet og oplevelser er sjovere når man har en at dele det med (og fordi sex), men ved ikke helt om de hjemmesider stadig er noget værd i 2016? Efter 16 år i en bobbel af hus, have, børn, madpakker, ægteskab og næsten intet socialliv udover de faste nære venner og naboer så ville jeg sætte enormt stor pris på at høre jeres erfaringer med livet som single :)
EDIT: Hold da op - det var da overvældende så mange gode råd der vælter ind :) Tusinde tak! Det har virkelig givet inspiration til nye oplevelser og håb om at finde en meningsfyldt tilværelse.

Thanks to this, thousands of people are on this app, which can be seen just by trying to search for members.

There are thousands of pages with the results, which is pretty fascinating for such a low-profile dating site.

There is almost the same number of male and female users, which is good information and means that both genders have pretty good chances of finding someone of the opposite gender, or the same one since the user base is quite large.

The site was designed to help people find happy connections and lasting relationships however, a lot of people are there for sex and casual encounters as well.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

When it comes to using this website and looking for interesting individuals on it, we are happy to say that it does do a good job and causes no difficulties in the process.

You can use both the desktop version if that is your thing, or download the mobile app, which is fully functional and offers the same features and experience as the desktop one.

You will be asked to add your first and last name, e-mail address, password, username, gender, and the date of birth.

After this, the information asked of you will be asked who you are looking for, where you come from, what your eye and hair color is and then add your marital status, religion, ethnicity, number of children, body type, whether you smoke, drink and what your job is.

Demographic

LuvFree.com was created 11 years ago and has grown from a tiny free dating service that was moderated by one man to a huge dating service that attracts thousands of people from all around the world.

Its creator is a software engineer named Fredor Kovalenko who used to work for a large dating service in 2006 and whose task was to create automated messages that were then sent to men from fake female accounts.

He was appalled by this and decided to make his service which would always be free for everyone, and very safe.

The majority of its users come from the US, Canada and the UK, just like in many other dating sites, however, there is a large portion of Filipino, Russian and Chinese users who are in pursuit of love.

LuvFree.com welcomes everyone, no matter whether they are looking for romance, friendships, same-sex or heterosexual connections.

Most of the users belong to the 25-34 and then to the 35-44 age group.

A slight fall is, however, a much larger number of female users, which is either perfect or slightly inadequate depending if you are looking for males or females.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

LuvFree.com is very easy to use both desktop and mobile versions.

Both versions are perfectly compatible and offer the same features and experience.

This means that you can either enjoy it at home on your computer or have fun and keep in touch on the go.

There is only an Android version of the app at the moment, but Fedor is set to creating the IOS version as well, due to the high demand for his dating site.

Besides its simple and straightforward design, this app offers many interesting features, making it extremely useful, especially when taking the fact that it is 100% free into consideration.

If you decide to register, you will most likely be pleased to see that the process doesn’t take more than a few minutes.

You will be asked the most basic information to create your profile.

But you will also be able to complete optional questionnaires to offer even more information about yourself.

Navigating the website is quite easy as everything is clearly labeled, however, in case you can’t seem to find your way there is a 24/7 support that is quite helpful and always present.

Another very important thing is the high level of safety on LuvFree.com.

Mr. Fedor is especially concerned about this matter and because of this has dozens of people working as moderators and overlooking profiles and photos.

In case that anyone violates community rules and guidelines, their profile gets deleted which contributes to everyone’s sense of safety.

Because moderators are looking at profiles carefully, make sure to not lie, because if they see anything suspicious, your profile will get banned from the network.

Since there is a large user base and a very friendly and safe community, there are hundreds of testimonials from users who had an amazing time there and who met someone special.

When it comes to searching for people you can search based on different criteria – mobile, city, age, religion, education, physical appearance, etc.

Messaging is, as well as everything else free, so feel free to do it with whomever you wish.

Besides talking to people one-on-one you can visit forums, blogs, numerous chatrooms, or have fun with picture rating services.

FAQ

1. Does LuvFree have a premium version with more features?

No, this dating website is 100% free and always will be, because it doesn’t create revenue off of its users, but off of ads on the website.

So, don’t worry about having to add your credit card.

2. Is LuvFree legit?

It is, it has been on the market for 13 years now and its user base has been growing continuously, not only in the US but around the world as well.

3. How can I delete my account?

Overall Rating

If you wish to enjoy a completely free, yet, highly functional dating service, with many users from around the globe, who mostly look for a serious commitment, and yet feel very safe online, then LuvFree.com does show as a good choice.

It gets an overall grade od 4.1/5 due to the very good quality and a slight number of downfalls.

3. LoveAwake

Rating

Signing up – 3/5

Making Contact – 4/5

Profile Quality – 2.5/5

Affiliate Program – 2/5

Overall Quality – 3.2/5

Pros

  • International user base with people from many countries
  • 1.5 million members
  • The very easy registration process
  • Advice and guides for dating

Cons

  • Fake accounts are present
  • Profiles are public and even non-members can view them

Demographic

Loveawake is an international, completely free dating service that will help you meet new people from all over the globe, that you would probably never get to know otherwise.

There are more than 1.5 million users who reside in the US, UK, and Canada primarily, but a large chunk is also in Russia, Philippines, and Brazil.

Average users fall in the 25-34 age group and most are there to find a true connection.

This even more so, since effortless hookups require much effort in case you are not from the same country.

Male to female ration is 40:60, which is good news for both genders since none is largely outnumbered.

We got the impression that a lot of women who come from the 2nd and 3rd world countries are quite poor (they state that clearly) and are in the pursuit of love and meaningful connection, but better living standard and lifestyle are on the top of their list as well.

Thus, if you feel tired about meeting someone in your surrounding or are sucker for cute foreigners with even cuter accents, who would come and live in your country, then loveawake could be your deal.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

Loveawake is a modern dating website that was designed by a Russian entrepreneur Slava who had already created a dating service before this one with his partner.

However, there was an ugly fall out between them and they both went separate ways.

After this, Slava decided to give it another shot and came up with Loveawake.

When you look at its front page, it looks very modern and sleek, offering a very good impression.

However, once you look at the profiles, the design falls short of being that modern, as they look pretty basic and even outdated.

If you still feel intrigued and wish to register, the process is quite fast and easy.

Once you fill out the registration form on the homepage and add the basic info, such as your name, country, and city where you are located, email, password, user name, and birthday, there will be a second step.

It will ask for more detailed info about your physical appearance, such as height, weight, hair, and eye color, then marital status, religion, ethnicity, etc.

Once you are registered you can browse for people and enjoy several interesting features.

Some of them are the ability to see only people who verified their accounts via SMS messages, chatting anonymously, meaning that you can talk to someone without giving out any details about your profile and “attending” high-quality relationship courses that deal with advises, issues and other topics related to dating.

Unfortunately, there isn’t a mobile app, which means that you will have to either use a desktop computer or a browser on your phone.

However, the desktop version is mobile-friendly.

FAQ

1. Are there any hidden fees on LoveAwake?

No, this dating website is 100% free and you can use all of the features as much as you like for as long as you like.

If anyone messages you saying that something needs to be paid, that is a scam, no matter how real it may seem.

2. Are there fake accounts on LoveAwake?

Unfortunately, the answer is yes.

There is a high number of fake profiles that people complain about.

This is often a big problem for 100% free dating websites, as they often don’t have the best technical support, or just seem to not want to deal with it seriously.

3. What are the e-courses that are offered on LoveAwake?

This is the favorite feature according to many reviews of this dating website.

Loveawake paired with a famous dating coach Roy Biancalana and created “state-of-the-art” e-courses that serve to help users with any question they may have about dating, approaching someone, starting the conversation, asking for a date, flirting, etc.

Overall Rating

LoveAwake gets an overall grade of 3.2/5, which is pretty decent for a completely free dating service.

Many of this kind offer poor features and receive even poorer reviews, but this one can offer quite a good experience.

Features are interesting, profiles look decent, the search engine functions properly and e-course is very well designed and quite helpful.

Just make sure to be careful about scammers and fake profiles and sharing any personal information.

Cons

  • Website may lag

Demographic

Trumingle is a dating service created back in 2015, making it 5 years old today.

It was created to be an international dating service, available in many countries around the world.

Its userbase comprises thousands of people, but their number depends on what country you live in and whether you live in a rural or urban area.

So, it can easily happen that you live somewhere where there just isn’t a lot of people who use this network, especially if you look for the ones who live quite close to you.

Trumingle welcomes users of all sexual preferences – straight, gays and lesbians and no matter if you wish to date, chat, or just meet new people and exchange stories, all kinds of people can be found.

Most are, however in the pursuit of a relationship and hope to find someone online.

The userbase is quite “young” and average members are between 20 and 25 years old, however, even younger and older age groups are on there as well.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

When it comes to this app’s functionality and ease of use, we are happy to say it is quite functional and simple to navigate.

It has a wonderful, modern, and colorful design that can even be customized according to your preferences, which is an even bigger plus.

Profiles are clearly stated, menus well labeled with large fonts, and being online simply makes you feel good, compared to other outdated dating services.

Trumingle also has a mobile app, for Android only, however, which is a very nice bonus that makes communication much faster and comfortable.

If you wish to give Trumingle a go, you will see that there is a very fast and simple registration process.

Besides using the regular registration form, you can also register via several social media, such as Facebook, Linkedin, and others.

You will be asked to answer some basic questions about your name, location, birthday, and other facts that are common for dating sites.

You will also need to verify your e-mail address which was created to fight fake profiles.

In addition to this, you need to upload at least one photo to your account.

If you don’t have a photo nor verified e-mail, you won’t be able to see other people’s accounts, not enjoy the website and its features.

When it comes to features, we found them quite helpful and interesting!

First of all, you can use the basic search based on gender, age, photo only, online now status, and whether you would like to make friends, chat, or date. For more advanced search there are additional 3 search filters.

Secondly, there is a feature that isn’t seen on almost any other dating sites – Sims-like 3D virtual world where you have your character that interacts with other members in the virtual city.

This way online communication can feel more like the in-person one and it can be especially fun for all the members who love playing games.

Besides all of the free functions that you can use as much as you like without having to pay for anything, three additions can be purchased by using virtual coins that you can get by paying for them.

Now, we repeat, these are 100% optional features, and not using them doesn’t affect the experience in any way!

Here is the price:

Pros

  • Very easy to register

  • International userbase
  • Highly detailed profiles

Cons

  • No e-mail verification and a large number of fake profiles
  • Highly outdated design

Demographic

YouDate.net is practically a fossil in the ocean of different dating services. It was created way back in 2002, making it 18 years old.

Not only that it is quite old, but it also looks quite antique.

Let us say it right away – if you are a sucker for modern, sleek and colorful dating sites that inspire you to be on there, don’t even bother with this one, as it will make your eyes hurt.

Its design is poor and seems as if it hadn’t been changed since the good old 2002.

It was made to welcome all kinds of people of different wishes, ages, sexual preferences, which we love!

There are members from all over the globe who are looking for the significant other on YouDate.net.

In the registration form, you state that your age is anywhere between 18 and 99, meaning that literally, anyone is welcome.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

When it comes to using the features and their functionality, we can say that they are “okay”.

There isn’t a mobile app, however, nor a mobile-friendly version, the latter being pretty unacceptable nowadays.

This means that you are pretty much left with the desktop version.

Once (better said if) you decide to join this network you will see an antique-looking registration form on the right-hand side of the welcome page.

We filled it out to see how things work and there are two things we realized.

It does take less than a minute, which is great, however, we were more concerned with the following message after completing it.

This means that everyone gets the same “special gesture” and is approved right away and it is scary.

Who knows how many thousands of fake profiles are there because there isn’t any form of verification?

We also added a fake profile photo to see what happens and got the message that it is under review.

This is good news because there are moderators who make sure there isn’t any explicit content, such as nudity, nor cartoon characters on the photos.

Once you finish this, you will be able to organize your profile and answer a lot of questions divided into 5 categories.

This is a very good feature, on the other hand, because it lets people filter you easier, and shows that the website isn’t that outdated in every section.

Whenever you start browsing members you can use any of these criteria in your search to find people similar to you and it can be quite helpful.

However, some search filters lag and don’t work properly depending on which one you use.

Other features include international dating page, where you can select a specific country, success stories, tips for the first date, report users page, etc.

You can also messages for free, flirt, like profiles and photos, see who liked you, and get all kinds of notifications, which altogether offers a decent user experience.

FAQ

1. Is YouDate.net completely free without hidden fees?

Yes, it is 100% free and you can enjoy all of the features as much as you like, however long you like.

2. How can I delete my profile?

In case you are tired of online dating or wish to leave the network for any reason, you should scroll any page down to the bottom of any page, where you will see the option “delete my profile”.

3. Do I need to answer all the questions about myself?

No, you don’t. The questions are optional and there to help others get a fuller picture of who you are and help people find you easier in case details about you match their search.

Overall

After registering and seeing how YouDate.net work, it received an overall grade 2.5/5.

If you don’t care about the design and potential fake profiles that may contact you, but just wish to have fun and meet new people, this site could work out for you.

  • 100% free dating site without hidden fees
  • Great privacy options
  • “Quality Membership Score” that shows how active members are
  • Video Chat option

Cons

  • Smaller userbase
  • No app version

Demographic

BookofMatches.com is a dating service created for the American, Australian, UK, and Canadian markets only.

Not only that it is a dating service that helps people find romantic relationships, it is also created with the purpose to help people find friends.

Thus, you can look for different kinds of relationships on there-casual, friendships, long-term, people for dating, etc.

It welcomes people of all sexual preferences – straight, gay, or lesbian and there is no prejudice on there.

Thus, if this is a dealbreaker for you, it’s good to know that this network offers a diverse member pool.

There are thousands of members but there aren’t precise statistics and the number of users will depend on where you live since you can search for them based on your location.

The smallest parameter is up to 50km from you, so if you live in a rural area, don’t expect to find more than a few people.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

When you take a first look at this dating site you can’t help but think how outdated it looks, and probably far from appealing to many potential members.

However, on the bright side, it offers helpful features, and they are 100% free and functional.

Unfortunately, there isn’t an app that you can use once you join, so you will have to stick with chatting from your home or with entering the site via your browser when you are away.

Once you decide to register you will first have to add basic information, like always – your name, username, email, and password and then gender, ethnicity, religion, birthday, relationship status, location, and physical traits.

There are also extra essay questions that are optional but tend to be quite helpful.

They ask about your personality, qualities you look for in a partner, what the perfect date would look like, etc.

After this, you can add up to 3 photos to your profile and 14 in your scrapbook.

Now, the scrapbook is the section of your profile whose visibility you can customize.

Either everyone can see it, or your friends only.

The friends section is similar to your favorites list, however, friends can access more options on your profile, than people from your favorites list.

There are also various ways of communicating, such as flirting, instant messaging, taking part in forums, or video calling.

BOM takes good of the privacy matter and offers several helpful options, such as reporting inappropriate photos, blocking members, turning off instant messages, making your profile invisible, blocking emails from members who don’t meet certain age criteria, etc.

When it comes to searching for members, you can do it by location, gender, age-range, relationship status, and other criteria.

FAQ

1. Is BookofMatches.com 100% free?

Yes, unlike other dating sites that have hidden fees, this one offers 100% free features and will never ask for your credit card details.

2. Can I adjust my profile visibility?

Yes, in case you don’t wish that other members see your profile for a certain period, you can adjust this setting in “Options” in the “My Profile” section.

3. Who can see my photos?

The profile photos, where you can add up to 3 of them will be seen by all members, however, you can add more of them in your Scrapbook and adjust visibility to friends only, or all members as well.

Overall

Thanks to its great features and amazing value that it offers to its members for free, Bookofmtaches gets an overall grade od 3.7/5 and presents a safe and interesting environment for you to meet new people.

Email verification doesn’t exist, which is a bit concerning and raises the question about the number of fake profiles, but we have seen this “issue” on many other dating sites as well, so are pretty much used to it in free services such as this one.

After you are finished with this initial step you can start enjoying the features and look for members who will hopefully catch your eye.

You can search by selecting different criteria that matter to you the most, whether it be the age range, gender, location, body type, the fact that they smoke or drink, practice a certain religion, etc.

And you can also save the search parameters, so you don’t have to adjust them every single time you wish to look for new members.

Unfortunately, there isn’t an app, but the website is mobile-friendly and functions perfectly both on your phone, tablet, computer, or any other device.

Regarding the privacy, we must say that your profile is public, and anyone who visits the website may see it, without any way of hiding it from non-members.

It’s good to keep this in mind in case you don’t wish for anyone to know that you plan to date online.

You may also encounter fake profiles, that are more or less present everywhere, but here especially since there isn’t an e-mail verification.

However, there shouldn’t be any explicit content, because moderators do look at photos and need to approve of them.

FAQ

1. How can I delete my profile?

In case you don’t wish to be present on JumpDates.com anymore, you can easily delete your account by clicking on “My Home” and then on “Account Settings” where you will see the option just like in the photo below.

2. Is JumpDates.com an old dating site?

3. Does Jumpdate.com have many ads?

This web service is completely free for its users but earns revenue through ads that are shown on it. You will see them on every page, but hopefully, they won’t bother you a lot.

Overall

This 19-year old dating website is completely free and offers fully functional features, but there is some work to be done.

The final verdict says that it gets an overall grade of 2.9/5.

Freemium Dating Sites

The second section of this monster review is dedicated to Freemium dating sites.

This means that they offer both free and paid membership that includes additional features.

It’s important to say that the free version enables a high-quality experience and basic features, such as messaging, liking other profiles, flirting, adding to the list of favorites, and other options depending on the website.

The premium version offers even more features, such as no ads, more likes/swipes, other means of communicating, sending virtual gifts, deciding what information from your profile is shown, and so on.

The premium version, along with ads is the revenue stream of these dating websites and they tend to encourage you to purchase it, even though there often isn’t a need for it.

Here is the list of the best freemium dating websites in the USA.

1. Tinder

Overall Quality – 4.5/5

Pros

  • The biggest userbase in the world
  • Very fun and easy to use
  • Quick registration
  • Anonymous – no one knows if you swiped left on their profile

Cons

  • Encourages compulsive use
  • Fake profiles are present and easy to make

Demographic

Tinder is the most popular dating app in the world and there almost isn’t a person who hasn’t heard of it, with thousands of people joining it daily.

Its user base consists of more than 57 million members who live in 190 countries, while the app is available in 40 languages.

Tinder was created in 2012 and it soon became one of the most downloaded apps thanks to its fun and easy way to use.

When it comes to the age distribution, it is much more popular among teenagers and young adults than older groups. Around 38% of users are between 16 and 24 and 45% between 25 and 34 years old.

76% of all users live in urban areas, which makes it extremely easy to find interesting people, especially in countries where it is extremely popular, such as the US, Canada, UK, Brazil, India, etc.

Thus, if you live in a rural area, it might prove to be difficult to find a large pool of users, especially if you look for them quite close to you.

Over the years Tinder has acquired a certain reputation as the dating service for hookups since there is a lot of young people who look for fun and casual dating.

However, many people, especially slightly older ones join to find someone serious.

The reputation also varies between the countries, so you can also ask around and see what your friends say about Tinder.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

Using Tinder is extremely easy and anyone with any technical background can get used to in within hours.

It was developed as an app that is available for both iPhones and Android phones, while only a small number of users enjoy its features on a desktop computer.

If you decide to register there are only a few fields that you need to fill out, verify your e-mail address, and add a profile photo and you are good to go.

The design is very modern, sleek, and colorful.

It seems pretty alluring, inspiring you to spend time on it, which many people do for hours every day.

Besides adding your name, email, photo, location, and a password there is a free space for a short bio – a brief description of who you are, or what you like.

There are hundreds of websites that give ideas for fun and cute bios and make a business of it.

Once you are finished, you can start looking for people and there are only a few criteria you can apply -age range, distance from your location, and gender.

Everything else is off the table and it is up to you to find other details and make up your mind about the person.

The whole point is to go through profiles and either swipe left, which means you dislike someone and want to move on or swipe right, meaning you would like to match.

If your profile gets shown to that person and they like you back, you will get matched and will be able to start the conversation.

Besides disliking and liking (which is anonymous, unless mutual) there is an option for you to Super Like (blue star) someone which will be shown on your profile if it gets displayed to that person.

Premium Version

Even though the free version will let you do all of the above-mentioned things, there are two premium memberships – Tinder Plus and Tinder Gold which will give you even more options.

Some of the features are:

  • Rewind – go back to the last profile
  • Unlimited Likes – approximately 100 right swipes are allowed daily
  • See who likes you – You don’t have to guess with this feature
  • Boost – make your profile much more shown to others

Pricing

The following photo shows the pricing plans for both types of premium membership.

2. OkCupid

Rating

Signing up – 4/5

Making Contact – 4/5

Profile Quality – 5/5

Affiliate Program – 5/5

Overall Quality – 4.5/5

Pros

  • Complete identification – 22 gender and 13 sexual orientation options
  • More than 50 million users worldwide
  • 5000 in-app personality questions to filter members better
  • Well-functioning free version

Cons

  • There are ghost and fake profiles
  • A small number of users in rural areas

Demographic

OkCupid is one of the most popular apps in the world and the 5th most used in the US after Tinder and several other ones.

As of 2020, it counts more than 50 million users, thanks to which it offers a huge and highly diverse user pool.

OkCupid is the very first dating service to offer 22 gender and 13 sexual orientations, which is pretty unbelievable.

This means that anyone, no matter how different and up until now unable to identify themselves, can now do it thanks to this network.

On average, there are around 100.000 members who are online at any moment, especially in countries where OkCupid is used the most – USA, Canada, and the UK.

When it comes to age, the majority of users who reside in the US are between 18 and 29 and then between 30 and 44 years old.

OkCupid is pretty popular among people who strive to find someone for a more serious relationship, and around 10% of them were looking for the same sex one in 2017.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

The OkCupid creators made this network with the idea to make something interesting, without boring questions and for all the members who are tired of the same messages, conversations, and dumb questionnaires.

As if anyone were going to answer with a “yes” to the question “do you cheat?”.

Opposed to this, they have come up with more than 5000 questions that are more than interesting and super attractive, almost making you not stop answering them.

Some of them are “Would you rather share a kiss in a tent or a kiss in Paris?” or “Would you rather go to a music festival or sporting event?”

Both your, and the potential partner’s answers to your questions are what the algorithm takes into the account when searching for the best matches for you.

If you decide to register, you will need 5-10 minutes for the process, as you will have to answer several questions that enable the algorithm to function properly.

You will also need to verify your email address, which is part of the network’s safety policy.

Once you are finished you can start looking for people and have fun!

When you find someone you can message them for free, however, there is a catch.

Before people used to message each other a lot and even spam, which is why a change was made.

Now, even though you can message someone, they will see what you said only if they like you back.

As we have said, the free version is fully functioning, and some of the features are: searching for matches, seeing the search results, sending and receiving likes, and sending and receiving messages.

There app versions for both iPhones and Android phones, so you can have fun and keep in touch on the go.

Premium Version

There are two premium versions: A-list and Premium A-List.

The first one includes no ads, seeing who has liked you before you’ve liked them and unlimited likes, while the latter offers all of that plus one automatic boost to your profile per day, seeing and being seen by more attractive matches and several other features.

Pricing

As you can see, this is another network that offers both the highly functioning free version and also a premium membership that gives you additional perks and helps improve your dating game.

FAQ

1. Can I get a refund for any unused time of my subscription?

Overall

OkCupid is one of the best choices for anyone who wished to meet new people, especially if they look for other genders and sexualities.

Demographic

POF was first created in 2003, which means this dating service is pretty old, however, compared to other ones of the same or even “younger” age, this network keeps getting updates and has an amazing design.

Recently it has even got a brand new, fresher looking logo.

It is present worldwide and claims to have 90 million users, which would make it the biggest dating network ever.

The US only has millions of users, as the largest user of this dating app.

Every day there are more than 2 million logins of different people.

Users have different ages, but the biggest percentage is between 25 and 34 years old.

There is a good ratio of men and women – 60:40, making it the chances of meeting the other gender pretty good and equal.

POV is available in 11 languages and many countries, making international dating pretty doable and easy to happen in the case that is what you are looking for.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

POV is very easy to use and quite interesting as well. The proof of this is that it was downloaded 73 million times between 2014 and 2019.

It is also ranked as the 9th of all dating apps in the Google Play Store and App Store together when it comes to the revenue stream in May 2020.

The app is available in the AppStore, Google Play Store, and Windows store, and more than 75% of the time spent on this network is done via mobile devices and apps.

It requires basic information such as your name, age, gender, location, email, and username, but also your education level, type of relationship you seek, types of property you own, asks about your ambition, education level, desire to have children, etc.

The goal of this app is not to just get a member fast and collect them without much effort, but to encourage you to fill out your profile, so the algorithm can find the best potential matches.

When it comes to searching for members, they offer more than extensive criteria that can let you see members who are amazing potential matches.

Once you find someone interesting you can message them for free.

Another way to get matches is by completing the “chemistry predictor” a feature that takes your and the other party’s answers to dozens of questions and creates the chemistry, needs, and psychological assessment and a “keeper” and “sex” test.

Thanks to this the best potential matches are made.

Profiles are very informative with enough details that enable you to create a fuller picture of who the person is in real life.

You can find out about their parents, siblings, length of the longest relationship, and see up to 8 photos.

Other features that are enabled in the free version besides looking at profiles and messaging are seeing matches who have liked you, look at “my matches” and “recommended” section, look at members who are online or nearby, and several other things.

Premium Version

Like most other apps, POV also earns its revenue from both ads and the premium version.

The paid version offers more features such as viewing users’ extended profiles, no ads, viewing whether the message has been read, sending gifts to other members, standing out in the search results, etc.

Pricing

In the photo below you can look at the pricing details and as you can see, the payment can be made through credit card or Paypal.

FAQ

1. Is Plenty of Fish a hook-up dating site?

There isn’t a precise answer, since people are encouraged to state what kind of relationship exactly, they seek, and that may be a hook-up.

However, arranging your profile and answering questions takes much time, and usually people who hope to meet someone seriously take their time to do it as best as they can.

2. Can I use the site without signing up?

No, you need to create an account, at least the free one to enjoy the community and its features.

3. How can profiles be verified?

There is an SMS verification method that helps the website fight spammers and scammers.

Overall

Plenty of Fish is a pretty serious dating service with a really good algorithm and a matching system, which makes it perfect for people who hope to meet someone serious and who wish to take the time of their days and look for significant others.

The overall grade is 4.7/5.

4. Badoo

Rating

Signing up – 3/5

Making Contact – 4/5

Profile Quality – 2.5/5

Affiliate Program – 3.5/5

Overall Quality – 3.5/5

Pros

  • The fully functional free version
  • Very simple to use
  • Video chat option once members have connected via messages
  • App version for all Oss

Cons

  • Easy to create fake profiles
  • Bought credits expire after only six months and can’t be refunded

Demographic

Badoo is a dating service created in November 2006 by a Russian businessman Andrey Andreev.

It became popular thanks to Facebook quizzes and games, after which it became an independent dating site.

It separates itself from other dating websites thanks to identifying itself as a “social media network” and not a dating site.

It is pretty laid back and welcomes anyone who wishes to chat, meet friends, or date and seek a relationship.

There are millions of users worldwide, 12 million being from the US only.

Thanks to this large number you can easily find people who have the same wishes as yours.

Even though there are a lot of Americans, Badoo is highly popular in Europe and millions of members reside in various countries on this continent.

Men to women ratio are 60:40 which makes connections even easier.

It is much more popular among younger users who belong to the 18-24 age group and then those who are between 25 and 34 years old.

Most people on Badoo are laid back, as already mentioned, and look for casual texting and non-serious commitment, which can be seen pretty much right away.

However, we mustn’t forget about those who are there for serious reasons and hope to find a long-term commitment.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

Badoo is extremely easy to use, which we like.

From the very first moment of entering the app and registering you can see that everything requires just a few steps and the fun can start.

First of all, you can you the desktop version, but also the app ones, that are free to download on both Google Play Store and the App Store.

Both versions offer very good and modern design, with clear labels and easy navigation.

The very first thing you will have to do is register, of course, which takes just a few moments and can be done even faster by using your other social media accounts, such as Facebook, Google+, etc.

You will be asked to give your name, birthday, location, gender, and the purpose of your presence on the network.

After this, you will have to verify your account and add a photo.

In case you don’t wish to add a photo, you should know that the features are limited to profiles without one and you can’t verify your account without it.

When you do so, you will still have to verify it and get a blue checkmark on your profile.

In case you don’t wish to fill out questionnaires, nor spend much of your time on customizing your profile, the good news is that these options aren’t even available and you start searching for people without any further hassle.

The search criteria are pretty basic and resemble those on Tinder (even though Tinder is a “younger” app)

Once you get the search results you can play a game similar to the Tinder’s swiping, where you can press heart and like someone or click on X and move on.

Once you find someone cute you can message them for free limitlessly, however, you need to have a profile photo to do so. That is the only limitation.

Also, if you haven’t matched with someone, you can send only up to two messages to them.

Profiles are pretty scarce with information and to encourage people to add it, Badoo has come up with a profile scoring system called Badoo Encounters.

Over there, people rate each other’s profiles, and the higher the score, the more visibility their profile gets.

All in all, Badoo is pretty chill and fun to use, but it’s obvious it takes privacy and safety measures quite seriously.

Premium Version

Aside from the free version that enables pretty well functioning basic services, there is a premium version as well.

It lets you see who liked you, who put you on their favorites list, browse through the site anonymously, increase your popularity, give gifts, and several other options.

Pricing

In the picture below you can look at the premium membership prices, along with the prices of coins that let you complete in-app purchases, such as virtual gifts.

FAQ

1. What are Badoo Secret Awards?

They are secret badges that you get for certain achievements, such as having the highest profile score or having the most connections.

They aren’t shown on your profile publicly, however.

2. What is Badoo Live?

This feature lets you host live streams or look at the live streams of other members and comment on them.

3. What is the Crush feature?

If you decide to send a Crush to someone, it means you wish to show them how much you like them.

It is something like a Super Like on Tinder.

Overall

In case you live in Europe and hope to meet people who live nearby, or at least on this continent, have fun, exchange stories and even form a relationship, or grade profiles and message carelessly, Badoo can be a pretty fun choice for that market, and also a safe one, with an overall grade of 3.5/5

There are millions of users, more precisely 21 million in New York, Hong Kong, and other metropolitan areas that are the primary target market.

Coffee Meets Bagel targets young professionals who are between 21 and 35 years old and who look for a quality relationship.

A proof of this is the fact that there have been 25 million dates and 120 marriages thanks to this dating service.

Most men and women look for intellect, physical attraction, and common interest, while women have the final say.

We will go over this.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

Using this app is pretty easy, especially when knowing that this isn’t a classic dating site where you search for new members non-stop.

Here, men have given 21 potential female matches – bagels each day, and they can either like them or pass, for which they have 24 hours only.

Between all the men who have liked a certain woman, the algorithm uses the information from her Facebook account and considers everything to filter the best potential matches from that male pool.

Women are then presented with only 6 matches per day.

If she likes the man as well, they will be able to communicate, but for 8 days only.

This was done to encourage real-life encounters.

If you decide to register, you will see that the process is quite simple.

Just add your name, birthday, email, location, username, ethnicity, religion, occupation, and other basic info, and you are almost done.

Also, you are supposed to answer several questions regarding who you are, what you like, etc, and upload photos that can be automatically added from Facebook as well.

Besides getting the matches, people can explore members in the Discover section, however, those are the members whose preferences and traits differ from yours and who weren’t taken into the consideration as the best candidates.

These profiles change every single day and one needs to act fast if they like someone.

To like someone from that section your need to use the in-app coins called Beans that you receive by being active or by purchasing them.

Premium Version

The premium version lets you see if your message has been read, gives you 6000 beans monthly, 5 free takes (likes for the Discovery page), 15% more beans on each purchase, and other perks.

Pricing

Here is the price for the premium version and the price for the beans.

FAQ

1. Where is Coffee Meets Bagel available?

It is available in any country in the world and there are app versions for every operating system, however, the user base is not as large compared to other huge dating services.

2. Is CMB a hookup site?

Even though there probably are people who look for this type of connection, the goal is to inspire more serious and deeper relationships among members.

3. How does the Coffee Meets Bagel algorithm work?

It primarily takes information from your Facebook account (likes, mutual friends, your views, etc), and based on it understands your preferences.

It then created a social graph by looking at friends of friends of friends from your friends list and creates potential matches.

Overall

If you’ve been longing for dating services made for women primarily, where you don’t have to spend much time looking for people, but get served great potential matches daily and do all of it in a well-designed app and a safe environment, joining this app should be a no brainer.

Thanks to its great features it gets an overall grade of 4.2/5.

5 Latest 100 Free Dating Sites In Usa With No Ip Needed

Pros

  • You have a chance to meet someone close by
  • Very easy to set up and use
  • Dates are quite easy to arrange because you probably work or live in the same area
  • Well-functioning free version

Cons

  • There isn’t a regular search option
  • Matches are based on the proximity only and profiles are scarce with information

Demographic

Happn is a pretty different dating app than the rest and it was launched in 2014 with one goal – to help you meet that cute stranger that had just gone passed you.

The whole point is to let people know with whom they have crossed paths and show profiles that are up to 250m away.

Thus, there isn’t any specific demographic group of a certain age, income, ethnicity, etc. that is targeted by this website.

The person whose profile you are shown can be anyone, the neighbor you already know, and who is on Happn, someone who works in your neighborhood or a foreigner who is just walking through your street.

There are, however, 50 million users worldwide who wish to see who is located near them.

A lot of users are from the US, around 10% of the whole userbase, while there are a lot of them from India, Brazil, and other countries as well.

Ease of Use “mobile and desktop version”

If you decide to join this network the registration process and navigation through it are quite fast and easy.

You can register by using your Facebook account and allowing the app to access it.

The only information you need to add is your name, date of birth, and gender and whether you wish to meet men, women, or both.

Anything else, such as education and bio are optional, but not required.

There isn’t a profile verification, which is slightly concerning.

After this your profile is ready and you will start seeing profiles of the people who crossed paths with you, and there will also be a Happn map that shows where it happened.

When you like a certain member from the list and they do the same, the “crush” is made and you can start to communicate and meet in person.

Besides waiting for someone to like you back, you can look at the list of the people who sent you a “like” and fast forward the process by doing the same if interested.

Profiles aren’t filled with information, and this is a slight downfall because you can only see their picture, name, age, gender, work and education, last active date, and distance – that is all.

Spending time on the Happn app is pretty easy and fun because it is quite modern with an amazing and simple design.

Some of the fun features are Hellos and My Music Selection.

The Hello serves for the members to send them to each other and indicate they wish to talk.

Once you sign up you get 10 Hellos for free and can purchase more with the premium membership later.

My Music Selection lets you sync Happn with your Spotify account and share your music with your crush.

Premium Version

Even though the free version enables sending likes, matching, chatting, and viewing photos and profiles of other people, the premium membership offers more.

Some of the features are sending up to 10 hellos per day, being invisible, and preventing the app to track your location, adjusting what information is shown, removing ads, etc.

Pricing

Here is the price of the Premium Version along with the price for the Hellos.

FAQ

1. Can I register without using Facebook?

Yes, this can be done by using your phone number instead of Facebook.

2. How can I find people on Happn?

There are no search options, so you are supposed to wait for new profiles to appear on your timeline based on their location and several set preferences.

3. How can I communicate with someone?

The only way to start chatting is for both of you to like each other, without which no communication is possible.

Overall

Free Dating Sites 100 Percent

Happn is a pretty interesting app that could be the answer to the sad situation that happened to all of us – there was a cute stranger who walked by and was sure we would never see them again.

Now, the chance is there again, but only if they use Happn as well.

The app gets the overall grade of 3.2/5 thanks to its neat design and good features.
