If they have the use of the internet, should they not be researching their own information? Even though they may be given the correct answer on here, surely the idea of homework is to gather back ground information as well in order to give a comprehensive answer to their homework. I am I just being mean minded.

Finding ANY source of information is part of the education. Hopefully in time children will start to "question" the answers and look for deeper answers, assuming the question is not like 2+2=?. The Internet is like having lots of reference books instead of just one. If they get interested in one particular subject, then they can then go off and research it more fully.

Sometimes there can be several different answers to the same question, as you may have experienced by logging on to this website. It also depends on the person's opinion of the question, as to what answer they give. This question will have many different answers, too. Some questions WILL only have one answer (eg 2 + 2 will always make 4), but others are based on experiences, opinions and attitudes, and it will be up to the students to decide which answer is best.

Maybe these are just the students/school children who leave their homework until absolutely the last minute and then panic about getting it done. Not that I can condone such behaviour in any way shape or form. Of course i always did my homework promptly and handed it on time when I was at school *puts hands behind back, looks away and whistles*

I think it shows some initiative, have to admit I would have done the same.
They may well use other sources as well, also 1st hand life experiemce sometimes counts for a lot more than reading a text.

yes there is a difference.but here also the answers that are given are not accepted without any scrutiny i am sure.the different ways in which the same question is answered will also give them some food for thought and make them less discriminatory.

I think a question is a question. "Looking it up" is simply finding the answer to a question somebody else has asked. I doubt that many people use YA as the sole source for finding answers.
If I'm asked a question by my kids, I answer as best I can but also tell them (or help them) to look it up, as well.

Two things. First they want to check their works and have a detail explanation in it. Second, their too lazy doing one and thus giving it to others without much effort of learning.

I think its ok for them to ask,
I'll point them in right direction if I can
Just wish this had been around when I was at senior school/college (1970 - 1975 )

I agree, but I still have fun responding sarcastically to those who are looking for more than just assistance with understanding a concept. :-)

Laziness. Pure and simple.
