Isn't it pathetic how kids are using "Yahoo! Answers" to get word-for-word answers for their homework?

I just told someone to do their own homework. Yes, it is pathetic. The questions they ask aren't even that hard. In the time it takes them to ask the question and get the right answer they could have done the homework themselves.

I agree.  Half the kids who try and get answers to their homework would have done far better to type their questions into google instead of this forum.  I have a friend who likes to make up bull$hit answers that give the appearance of being correct but throws in absolutely false info to teach them a lesson in cheating.  \nTo those above who think we are jealous because we didn't have this "help"...I'm glad I was able to do my own work and I am a smarter and more productive adult because of it.  People can't go through life expecting others to cover for them, or they will eventually get burned.

Sure. Here's the assertion...\n\nStudents who use Yahoo Answers for school work are cheating.\n\n...and it's WRITE, not wright.

I think mostly people are asking opinion questions to see if what they are already thinking agrees with their peers.\nSome are needing help with their homework and have noone else to turn to.\nSome are asking questions they would be made fun of if they ask their friends.\nAnd some are looking for a true answer, website link or fact to something they either can't find on the web, or don't want to weed through 1,873 websites to find.\nAnd yes.. some are here just to goof off

Ha ha.\n\nWot wurys me is kids SMSing. U no wot I meen?\n\nI think sometimes the people who ask a lot of these questions are children or English is their second language. Others may not have done well at school. Not everyone is good at reading and writing; expecting them to be is like expecting everyone to be capable of singing well or being able to fly a space rocket.\n\nAlthough annoying, it does not really affect you badly and these people are getting enjoyment out of interacting with others. Let them have fun without being picked on.

If you are smart enough to get them kind of grades but not smart enough to understand are they good or not then there is only one person to blame--- George Bush for that fricken no student left behind program now any "mo-ron" can get through simple grade school and hold the rest of the kids back to help these "special children" Jeezzz I can believe that I seen this question....What I see is some "cool" kid (judging by the UpPeRcAsE cutisey crap) wanting to get undue praise from some strangers. Well I don’t buy it!

I agree, only come in here as a last resort if you type in a topic in your search engine, and you get jack squat.  They shouldn't eliminate the "Homework Help" section entirely.\n\nMind you, when I had tough questions, I always went to a teacher's aide in my spare classes in high school.  Do you kiddies have spare classes of your own in high school?\n\nOther than that, ICG, you are right on the money here.  I don't mind asking for help when you need it, but to rely on Yahoo! Answers for EVERY SINGLE FRIKKING HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT you have is VERY lazy.  Bravo for your question!

Not as good as Google answers.\n\nToo many kids ask questions for their homework which means they don't put any effort into doing it themselves.\n\nThere is no incentive to put in a lot of effort to answer anyone, however Google answers offers money. Therefore one would put in a lot of effort.\n\nThe quality of some of the questions are pretty bad too.  But sometimes I just make a joke instead of seriously answering them (unless the questions are serious or worded correctly).  There's just no incentive to give a proper answer as well.

i think it is absolutely ingenious and troubling that you are using this site to do your homework. i don't know whether to encourage you or not. well, as long as you learn from the answers.

No joke!  Or just by doing a Google search, for heaven's sake.  Some of them seem like research questions for homework--perhaps the teacher specified that they can't just look it up, and this is a sneaky way of being lazy anyway?\n\nPeople want attention, and even near-anonymous answers are better than nothing?  (You'd think they'd work harder to come up with a clever question if that were the case, though)

because there stupid.  They are bored and have nothing else to do with there free time except give you guys loads of homework.

haha, yeah i get annoyed too. if they were meaningful, concept type questions i wouldnt get so frustrated. but when kids just copy and paste hw questions and expect ppl to do it for them, it irks me. what ab the kids that actually work hard for their grades?

Why do you want other people to do your homework for you. Instead of getting on here and trying to get other people to do your speech, why don't you use the internet to look stuff up?? I mean come on, how lazy can you be?

What is all this? Teachers worried to know if kids know how to use the computer calculator or teachers worried to know if kids know how to use Yahoo Answers to do their homeworks?

I think they are short-sighted, rescuing their kids from the difficulty of homework now at the expense of the children being able to learn on their own later on.  The same goes for kids who come on this website looking for answers that they can just copy down verbatim, instead of just getting a push in the right direction.  \n\nThat said, I think a lot of the homework teachers assign these days is busywork, something for the kids who catch on quickly to do while the teacher works with the struggling kids.  I also think that teachers assign unrealistic projects to the kids.  I can't believe they really expect a 5th grade kid to "construct an authentic log cabin without using lincoln logs, demonstrating 6 features from the novel" (one of the assignments my son got this year), without some parental help.  \n\nIn things like this, I try very hard to let my kids do what they can do themselves, and only step in when adult assistance as needed.  As a result, our projects are often a bit cruder than some of the kids who had parents do it all, but I comfort myself with the knowledge that my kids learned a lot more from the project.
