I think that the person that invented homework just wanted to torture kids.

I am a grown man,but I remember homework,and I agree that it is not right.The education system is paid to teach our children and kids are required to spend,eight full hours a day of their lives in school.Five days a week,and three quarters of the year.Their time at home should be their FREE time.Tottally unconnected with school and schoolwork.If eight hours a day isn`t enough to teach them,then something is wrong with the system.

I would, we put off punishing kids and look at them now, the are in grade school cussing, making gangs, they have no respect. I've seen kids I believe a good sound beating every now and then will straighten them out.

You are perfectly right and it is concerning.  I have seen hundreds of questions which are really homework questions.  This would certainly discourage kids from studying and finding answers on their own.  Perhaps I would suggest Yahoo to block access to users who are less than 18 years of age.\n\nIts also the responsibility of Yahoo users to direct students and not spood-feed them.

With rights come responsibilities. If the student wishes to write "The Principle is a poopie-doodle head" (Yes, I know principal is misspelled), he may, but must take the consequences for that action, or, punish the whole school to force out the miscreant

This "Teacher" is teaching hatred! She is a bigot and a narrow minded FOOL!....I'm outraged! These are CHILDREN for Goddess sake!!! How the HELL can she think it would be o.k. to treat children this way??? It's akin to a concentration camp!!! She should have her teaching license revoked and have to apologize publicly to ALL these children and serve LOTS of community service !!!!!...P.S. This is just another reinforcement to me that my decision to home school is correct!

I couldn't agree with you more. I think the reason is because with the age of the Internet, people have become lazy in trying to think about the simplest of things. Although this site started out with the best of intentions it seems that it has just exacerbated the problem with people not thinking for themselves. Even worse now they have gone one step further and are too lazy to type something into a search engine to find out information on something. Instead they just come in here and ask in the hopes that someone else will do the research for them. I find that kids blatantly asking people to supply them with answers to their homework questions especially worrisome. These kids are the next generation of people who won't be able to think for themselves. This is just the beginning it is only going to get worse.

I think like that, but I'm also a big fan of "punishment should fit the crime," too. For these child molesters out here who think it's okay to do kids and babies that way, they need to tie them over a fifty gallon drum and shove a fence post up their ass. Repeatedly. then cut their penis off, stuff it in their mouth, and sew their lips shut around it.\n\nI'm mean, ain't I?

Was so tricky when I was in school - wanted to have friends, but telling them they couldn't copy my work wouldn't go over too well.\n\nEven worse, some people would even go out of there way to see that I did worse. I remember a whole class once convinced the teacher who graded a project of mine an A+ that it was done commercially, and she was convinced enough to lower my mark to a B, even though all those accusations were false.\n\nSo why did I not allow people to copy my homework? Because it was me that went home and put in long hours, it was me who studied for the tests, it was me who did what I had to do when I couldn't understand what I did in class.\n\nIt was unfathomable to me why someone in school should profit and get the same results as someone who actually puts in the work.\n\nAnd I figured having a friend who would reject me because I refuse to have my homework copied wouldn't be much of a true friend, so I'd rather go without anyway.\n\nAt the end of the day, I felt much better being able to make that hard decision, and I knew that one day soon, petty elementary school and secondary school would be over and I'd be in schools of higher education, where presumably my peers would be more mature. And they were.

Sounds to me like somebody wants to have someone else do their homework for them.  Hmmmmmmmm...

I dont mind people looking for help,\nbut kids who just type in their homework questions straight from the book and expect answers should be banned.  Especially when its math and they say "show your work".

yes. it's called "why don't you do the homework yourself since there is the internet and you obviously know how to use it since you wrote this question".

There is homework HELP and homework DOING.  You want the latter and that's being lazy.

This is the wrong way to get your homework done.  And I do know the answer.  Look harder, you'll find it.
