What percentage of people do you think use Yahoo! Answers to solve homework problems?

I think Yahoo! Answers is accidentally creating a new generation of lazy kids. It seems that they would rather play video games or text message their friends than write their term papers. However, I think it is good if someone needs something explained to them but I don't think the answers should just be given to them. These kids need to learn.

Here. Yahoo Answers is the best. Many people are willingly to help you with your homework. Some people say it is bad, not educating. Anyway, I noticed whatever question asked, even when it is obviously a homework, people will answer. It is the students responsibility to not abuse this cool feature.

As I answer this question my son is in his room yelling to me that homework is pointless and stupid... His theory is that he does a lot of work in school... Which I agree... but I think a little homework is good for study habits later in life... And it will also help you do better in school and later in life. The teacher teaches you how to do things when you are in school. At the age of 9 and younger, homework pretty much is there to let the teacher know you understand the material you learned in school. And then when you get older the teachers don't have all the time in the world and you need to do more reading and more side work other than what you learn in class...

do you really need help or are you just making other people do your homework

it's not that. other subjects do set homework, but people are more interested in maths. they like maths than any other subject.

Hey, some times folks need help. Course, I don't just give an answer and surf away; if I can show them how to do something right, then they won't need to come back. I try to explain in as understandable a way I can whatever I'm talking about, because I know that textbooks have a bad habit of being confusing, expensive, tree-wasting pieces of useless trash, and lots of teachers too.\n\nAfter all, if these kids resort to this place, which can take forever to get a good answer, then they might actually need help.

Yes, many people do know how to solve that problem.  They learned it the same you should: read your book, go to class, talk to TAs, and do your own homework.

I do because the brain's ability to deal with so much information interferes with its ability to learn the next day. Most of the homework given is detrimental to full mental functioning. The brain needs to rest, it also needs relevant stimulation which homework never seems to provide.\n\nHowever, keep on doing it until you learn that there is no such word as 'alot'.

Seriously though, do kids do their own homework anymore?!

Some of us do care, luv.  It's a question of what constitutes help.  If someone posts "please do these 24 problems for me", then I tend to ignore them.  If they post one or two, then I provide solutions as opposed to just providing answers.  I answer them essentially the same way I would answer someone in class (without, unfortunately, the blackboard, which does sometimes cramp my style).\n\nI have the same problem when someone posts multiple questions that obviously all come from the same assignment.  If someone posts a single question, I think it reasonable to assume they just need an explanation of that kind of question and they'll do the rest themselves.  When there are multiple postings, though, that's obviously not the case.\n\nIn short, I guess, you help someone with his/her homework by showing them how to do that type of problem.  You help them cheat by giving them an answer.\n\nAnd, to be honest, I do that sometimes, too - so I guess it's a judgement call.

Would I be too assumptive in asking whether or not you are trying to get other people to do your homework assignments for you? \n\ntsk tsk \n\n:)
