When one looks into a mirror, one see an image of himself....

When raising one's right hand, the image raises its left. When raising one's left, the image raises its right.

So, why is it that the mirror reverses left and right, but not top and bottom? Why does a mirror appear to invert the left-right directions, but not up-down?

good point and equally scary question
the reason I left teaching after 16 years
too much dumbing down
don't lose your thinker
