10 points for the most creative answer: what's the difference between a high school freshman and a turnip?

I'm not sure that I know the answer, but whatever it is, it has got to favor the turnip because Freshmen are just DUMB sometimes!!!

Sorry, it was a BAD day with my froshies. Hopefully, tomorrow will be different.

Of course, they're probably wanting to know "what's the difference between a Spanish teacher and a turnip?" ;)

So, if someone comes to Yahoo! Answers for help with their homework, is that cheating?

If someone asks: how do you do this math problem? Or: name 3 important things Thomas Jefferson did. Is that research? Or cheating?

Thoughts?

Any ideas for tutors?

I have a child in kindergarten and just received papers saying they have to be in Title 1 reading which in this school pretty much means "your child is stupid". Does anyone have any suggestions on any local organizations that provide tutoring for kindergarten kids? I'm not looking for anyone online to do, I'm looking for someone like a teacher's aide or something like that. But I have no idea where to call to find someone that might be able to help.

How independant should college students be?

I teach university level science labs while I'm working on my Ph.D. I just finished teaching a 2 hour lab that most students finished in an hour. I had two students who wasted the first hour trying in vain to get me to do the lab for them or just goofing off. They are in college now, it should be their responsibility to make sure they finish the work - it's not my problem if they fail; it's their fault. They are supposed to be adults now. However, their wasting time wasted a good hour of my time.

Should I have pushed them harder to get the work done? Or was I right to make them motivate themselves to finish it on their own? It's an easy lab with step-by-step instructions; a junior high school student could have done it.
