Only foolish students who are not worthy of the title 'student'.

Shouldn't you be doing homework at school? Your parents are not paying them for nothing.

your homework would need to be learned by whom?

I agree.The reason why teachers give us homework everyday is,because they want us to show them how we progressed in different subjects in school.Us teens and tweens  should stand up for our rights and become individual people.We all need to learn to stand out and say NO HOMEWORK!!!!!!!!!

I agree that the whole category of Education & Reference is being misused by many students. You can easily tell that the question is directly from their homework (they even include the question number!). I'm happy to help them get started with some questions, but will not do all the work for them. I also refuse to answer if they ask multiple questions--either in the same question, or several different questions. And I do worry about the future of the next generation since obviously so many of them aren't reading their assignments before trying to finish the homework. In my day, asking someone to do your homework for you was considered cheating--a serious offense that got you a failing grade in the class.

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.

I think that children ought to do their own homework and turn to this site when they get stuck.\n\nI find it annoying when I see someone take an obvious homework question and put it straight into answers...it shows that they are too lazy even to use a search engine to look it up.\n\nI have heard from some people that they don't like to use search engines because then they have to read all the hits to figure out if it is one they can use or not.  So sometimes, I am tempted to give them incorrect answers that sound realistic as a lesson not to crib their homework.\n\nHowever, I think this site can be a good tool to supplement homework and even do some research on peoples' attitudes toward current events, etc.  Like any other tool, it can be misused.  I'm sure my teachers didn't appreciate me looking up the homework I got in school in the encyclopedia...same sort of thing really.

I knew people like that in school and they would show up to school an hour early, eat breakfast in a nearly empty cafeteria and do their homework while they ate. They do their homework at lunch break in the library. They do their homework for another class in the middle of a boring, useless lecture during a different class. Because they can't get their homework done at home. After school jobs. No time for it really. Where there's a will there's a way, I always say.

I'm an elementary school teacher (first grade and now kindergarten).  When you have small children with many absences or tardies, there's something wrong with the parents.  Small children need the help of adults to get to school on time.  In the case of elementary school aged children I would say yes.  When kids get to be teenagers in middle and high school, it's a  different story.  By that age I think teens should be responsible enough to get themselves to school on time.  Some kids purposely ditch certain classes.  In that case I don't think it's fair to hold parents responsible.  I think teens should be punished for ditching their classes.  Maybe they should be forced to do detention or Saturday school; if they continue, make the punishment even harsher.  Perhaps if you've been absent a certain number of days you shouldn't be allowed to graduate until you make up those hours.  Or maybe they could require teens to complete some sort of community service to make up those hours.  I think it's time that we make people responsible for their own actions.

How are teachers supposed to respond when a student doesn't care about the consequences and in some cases, neither do the parents.  Do you think these kids that are not listening at school, are listening at home?  There are some students that do not care to learn, however, the majority of students in a classroom strive to learn.  It is a shame that outsiders choose to focus on the disruptive students.

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.

That depends... if the students hadn't done their homework or weren't paying attention and this is why they didnt know it, then the teacher might easily become upset.

Homework should really only be for work that absolutely cannot be done at school.  Most homework today is the result of lazy teachers who try to push off their responsibilities to the parents.
