I placed my question in wrong section (i.e Homework help instead of Home schooling

Answer 1

I believe that the teachers in the public school aren't doing their jobs well. They don't have enough time to finish their daily plans and just shout out some kind of home work and not explain to the children how to do it..i have seen a lot of children in public school have so much home work that they don't even have time to eat their dinner or even be a kid and play..they end up with more home work then school work they did in school all week and they get stuck with work they don't understand so they have to look for help if its on here or a television show..if you get stuck doing 10 -12 hours of school work every day you would also find help to get it done...they should of never took study hall out of school..


Well Mr. Snardum..then if you actually are a good teacher then you are a dieing breed..and not to many teacher like you are teaching in the public schools no more..THe schools here are horrible..I know first hand that they are that bad..Ask a question about how the teachers teach on here for the students to answer.
When my child was in public school the teacher would tell him that they dont have time to teach one on one that if he needed help to come home and ask us..thats the teachers job to make sure the child understands fully wants he doing..the teacher gets paid to teach so they need to do their job..so you mean to tell me you dont give out 4 hours of home work..or even two hours..yeah right..when my son was in the 7th grade he would come home with so much home work that he was overwhelmed with it and was ready to stop going to school..this may not be going on in your class but it goes on every where..

Answer 2

As a public school teacher, I do not believe in giving students homework that they don't know how to do. If they have the knowhow to use this site, or similar ones, on the internet to find out how to do their work, or even to get the answers, I don't see that as cheating: I see it as research. We realize that when we send work home, there's no way of proving who did it anyway. I've recognized my students' parents handwriting on the papers they bring back the next day. So the only point of homework is practice, and finding out the answer however they find it out and writing it down is practice.

I attended a workshop on helping every student succeed this summer, and the leaders of the workshop advocated putting correctly spelled words and math facts & formula, and science and history facts up on the walls all over the room so that students could copy them. The concept of school isn't that it should be a continuous test, and it isn't to get every student to memorize everything on the planet and regurgitate it back, either: the idea is for students to learn. If they read it on the wall or on the computer screen, it's going into their brains, and if they write it down somewhere, it goes into their brains again. What's wrong with that? Nobody can memorize all the information there is anyway - what we're teaching is how to find the information you need, how to critically think about the information, and how to correlate that information with other information.

Teachers should be like coaches, only coaches of academic stuff. A soccer or wrestling coach wouldn't have members of the team go home and do something over and over that they hadn't learned how to do yet, would he? The coach would keep working on the skill with the players until they could do it right themselves, and then have them keep practicing that. Well, that's also what we should be doing as teachers.

Answer 3

You have a valid point, but it's not Yahoo's fault. The problem is with the kid. If they don't use Yahoo, they'll use usenet, or a forum, or a chat room, so even if Answers wasn't here, we would still be left with the problem of children who want to cheat with their homework.

Hopefully Answers community members will behave in the same way as members of other communities which I frequent, where blatent laziness is frowned upon, but a genuine attempt by a studento to understand something is accepted, so long as they come with a thought out question with some attempt at answering it.

Good point to raise tho!

I disagree with banning homework help. the international is a diverse place in the years when you consider that I left college - and judging by using the different solutions here when you consider that a great sort of you left college besides. while we've been provided with all of the textbooks to discover the solutions to our homework help, the youngsters these days at the instant are not so spoon-fed. they must bypass out to libraries and seek the internet for the help to assist them. solutions is resembling happening your mothers and dads, the older youngster up the line, your college buddy or a sibling to get help. They nonetheless ought to examine the help and ascertain if the help is genuine or not. it extremely is as much as the preparation equipment to alter the way they conflict the youngsters and verify that they are able to incorporate the internet and social media websites (like solutions) with classic pedagogy. do not throw the toddler out with the tub water!

Answer 5

In a way, YES... which is why it's called Homework Help, not Homework Answers.

I try to provide links or search tips and strings that lead the questioner, as opposed to the flat out answers.

In a way, YES... which is why it's called Homework Help, not Homework Answers.

I try to provide links or search tips and strings that lead the questioner, as opposed to the flat out answers. It's like finding another book. I think a lot of people are just trying for points...

And "bllnickie", I am a public school teacher, I have time, I just don't shout out homework. I lead, I teach, my students are challenged and they learn without 12 hours of homework. Maybe YOUR public school has a problem, but not all of them.

Answer 6

If you read some of the answers, you'll find that most of them try to explain how to find the answer. Yes, a few just spit out an answer with no instruction, but hopefully the student who is asking is going to want to know how to get the answer, because his or her teacher may ask about it and it will be embarassing if s/he can't give some indication of where the magic numbers came from. I try not to give an answer, but rather explain the process and let them take it from there.

Answer 7

I think it's up to answerers not to spit out the whole answer to a child just to get 10 points. If (in a pipe dream, of course) the community agreed to avoid giving the answer, and instead ask the proper probing questions, there might be some success.

You do see a lot of kids bashed when they ask about an entire book, or for someone to write an essay- kinda harsh, if you ask me- what did most of us do as kids? Similar things, I'd imagine...

Answer 8

The cable television has a show called "homework help" when students call in with assignments. I've seen them give the same type of help we give here. This is in Maryland.where there is too much homework and not enough instruction given. The homework is rote and silly.

Answer 9

I think some kids use it as a way of getting out of doing it themselves.

They want to play GTA or Halo or something else, but there's this darn homework. And then it hits them "someone on Yahoo! Answers will give me the answers". And then I'll have more time to play.

Answer 10

If a child needs help with their homework, their parents can't help them and they don't have a tutor, why not help them out. I'm sure they don't sit there and type every single question of their homework and expect others to answer it. Kids need help, so help them.
