Should homework "help" section be deleted as unethical ?

Interesting. \n\nI agree, back in the day, we didn't have computers.  We had to rely on dictionarys, encyclopedias, parents, teachers, and good old study. \n\nI think providing the answer makes it too easy a solution, so they won't have good skills on looking outside the box.

Hey,I do that too.But i have never wondered about that.I make a time table but never actually do it.I guess that if the homework you're doing is the sub you like then there should'ne be any problem.But if its not then obviously thats human nature.no one likes to do something they hate doing.But inside we know that we're supposed to do it so our unconsious mind is telling us to.We satisfy it by telling it we'll do the homework but actually we dont want to do it.THats the thinking about homework and the part of not doing it is the part that is us.

No its free, and its very convenient to use so I dont think you should delete it. If you want to delete it you can, but its not costing you a thing.

These are for homework help, NOT GETTING SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR YOU!

There's a difference between homework help.. and wanting someone to write your thesis. I would have to say.. same as here.

Off course - no harm in doing so. At the most it can be wrong judgement on your part but then if it's a right judgement think how much a timely help is worth!

You might have better luck posting this under the homework help section, in education.

Ideally you should not be helping them with homework, other than to make sure they have a place and time to do it.  The purpose of homework is to help the students strengthen their understanding of the information taught in class.\n\nTalk to the teachers if your children are having difficulty with homework. The kids should be able to complete the work on their own. If not, some help may be needed, and your school may provide some tutoring (at school) for free.

When the homework isn't done by the person assigned the work that person isn't learning anything. Come test time the teacher will know who did their homework and reading assignments and those that took short cuts like Yahoo Answers.\n\nI personally don't do someone's homework. If they have a question about a reading like trying to understand a poem or what a sentence means in the context of the assigned readng I will gladly help out. But if its obvious the person is wanting to have the essay written for them or the questions at the back of the reading answered, I don't bother.

Here's your argument for your debate:  Homework serves a valuable purpose in education.  Not only does it allow students to practice what was taught in class, thereby solidifying concepts, but most importantly it teaches responsibility.  Best given as a few target exercises rather than pages and pages of mindless drill, homework is a way of teaching students responsibility when the teacher is not there to "make them learn".  As a teacher, I often tell parents of the non-doers that I really don't care if they complete the homework or not- however, try telling the bank you "forgot" or "didn't have time" or "didn't understand" your car payment (/utility bill/cable bill/rent/etc.) and see how well that flies.  Kids and parents understand when I put it that way. No questions are asked when you don't send in your car payment- they just take away your vehicle.

Wow.  You put this in the wrong category.  It should be under the homework help section

You aren't asking for help.  You're asking someone to do your homework.  You've shown zero effort.  Start the process yourself, and if you have specific questions, then ask.

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.

I gladly support a "hand up" but won't take part in a "hand out".  In other words, I will help someone with a question if I can.  Sometime we just don't understand how something works and a little push in the right direction can open up a whole subject.  On the other hand, don't expect me to do your homework for you.  If someone posts a series of 20 math problems, I interpret that to be a whole homework assignment and move on to the next question.  \n\nI helped my kids but I didn't do their assignments.  In fact I don't think I ever answered one of their problems directly.  I worked similar examples and they did the actual assignment.  Having said that, why would anyone think I would do a strangers homework.  Besides, they don't learn a thing if someone else does their work for them.

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".

Can be  cut off from friends, also will have lots of trouble in school as teachers assume all students have internet access.  Before I had a computer I kept getting detentions for not doing homework I couldn't do.  I tried to do some homework at the library and ended up with a huge bill and got barred!

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:)
