What do you think about this that there often children ask help with homework?

They are seeking the easy way out instead of working on their own and getting the full learning experience.  If the question is during the school day, ask your TEACHER.  If it's after school hours, ask your PARENTS.  Just my two cents.

Well...we've reached an all-time low.  Parents asking for answers to their children's homework questions.  This is a exercise in creativity.  Sit down with your kid and have him tell you things he would do if he could catch a star.  Help him expand on it and put his thoughts on paper.  Geeze...this should be under the topic of parenting not homework.

I only use it for homework if I need help with getting a different perspective or opinion, not usually for something that is pure fact.  First of all, not all answers are to be trusted and second, its kinda lazy- I can't really talk though, because i've asked questions about my homework twice.

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:)

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

I can think of several different reasons:\n\n1. If doing the homework is too much effect, the same is probably true of choosing a best answer.\n\n2. Maybe, when they fail the tests because they don't have a clue how to get the answer themselves, they blame the answerer.\n\n3. Ungrateful.\n\n4. There are users and givers in this country - these are examples of the former. \n\nI'm sure you can even think of more possible reasons.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!

There are lots of lazy people here. They would rather that you do their work for them. Also, I see lots of kids who are trying to avoid doing their homework, writing a paper or reading a book by asking other people for answers. I refuse to help those people. I'm not an enabler.

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.

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

I don't have a problem with kids asking for a boost when they are doing homework.  We don't hand it to them, of course, but just give them a hint or two on how to get started.  No more than other kids get from their parents or older siblings.

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

I think students get too much homework.  In fact, with rare exception, I don't think students should get homework at all.  If they are required to study on there own, they should be given the time to do it during school hours (without extending the school day).\n\nAfter spending all day in school, students should not have to go home and do homework.  When do they have time to be kids?  [Weekends aren't enough.]

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!

I would expect it to do so.  It does seem that a number of the questions being asked are coming from homework assignments--especially when the same individual asks several closely related questions one right after another.

"Why do teachers give a load of homework and projects?"\n\nTeachers give you a load of homework and projects to educate you in that field of study. You'll be suprised at what you could possibly learn or become, and realize that you are fortunate to even recieve an education. So quit your complaining and count your blessings.\n\nAlso, I reccomend you focus a little more on that english homework of yours, okay?
