I think there are a lot of people on this thing fishing for free homework help in Math and Physics. Should we help them at the cost of them actually learning? Why shouldn't we just give them some good hints and a direction and let them figure some of the homework assignment out?

At least someone here is thinking. Those who are, need to look at the questions and decide whether it's just laziness. If all they do is post the question, it's laziness. If they explain their thought process, what they've done so far, and where they are stuck or what they don't understand, I happily answer them.
Occasionally there are a few really good questions here. It's rewarding to answer them, and to see other serious answers. But the lazy ones waste my time and make good people unwilling to bother. Unfortunately, if they keep getting correct answers handed to them, they'll probably keep doing it, and also keep missing the point of school and learning.

On top of the great answers already given, I would like to suggest aromatherapy to help you concentrate. I'll list a couple of blends I know of, but I'm sure searching the internet for "aromatherapy blends for concentration" will pull up some more results. Using pure essential oils and buying an empty spray bottle you can create your own air freshener to spray in your room before you prepare to study. Take 2 drops of cedar, 1 drop eucalyptus, 4 drops lavender, 2 drops orange, and 2 drops rosemary. Mix oils together with 2 cups of distilled water and put into spray bottle. Make sure to shake the bottle before each use, as separation is natural. Alternatively, when you're going to go out to take your tests you can just use an oil mixture without the water. Put all the drops of any recipe into the palm of your hand and rub your hands together to mix, then smooth the mixture over your clothes and maybe a bit into your hair. Or you could soak the mix up into a tissue of handkerchief to carry around with you and sniff at throughout the day. Good blends for these purposes would be: 3 drops rosemary, 2 drops lemon 2 drops peppermint, 3 drops lemon You could also just pick one essential oil, rather than making a blend. Good oils for concentration include: basil, eucalyptus, grapefruit, lemon, spearmint, peppermint, rosemary, patchouli, lemongrass, myrrh. I would personally suggest the rosemary and lemon blend. Hope this helps a bit!

It would be unfair to those student who treat their homework seriously. Given an answer and steps can do a lot of help.
Once, I've work on a single math problem for 45 mins, and still couldn't figure it out. After I read the work of these expert, I understand the whole thing in 3 mins.

This is a place for questions and answers. Why would there be a math and physics catergory anyway if people didn't ask for help on problems/real life situations/exams/etc? What would we do otherwise, discuss how to make a nuclear bomb?

I actually just learned of this site and posted a question reguarding a chem class. 1,3 pentadiene IR peak - Someone was helpful enough to take the time to direct me to a site where I can enter alittle informations to find the answer.
I do not see anything wrong with asking for help. Learning is largely do to will power and motivations. The smartest person is the most wealthless person if they let their birth talent goes to waste.

I was just doing that and I think that people should at least show (hints) on how to do it and leave the rest for them to figure it out. That's how I learned and sometimes I halve to help the whole entire class!!!

I wish they had sites like this when i was at school or even the internet! I think its good to help, even if they are given the answer, they have to figure out how they came to the answer or else they wont pass exams. There's no point having an answer if you dont understand how it came and sometimes having the answer helps to understand the Question.

ive gotten help with homework on this site.
Most people dont actually give you the answer, but they will explain the problem or for math problems most people will tell you the steps and leave you to find the answer.
sorry, i wasnt sure what you were asking, but i hope i answered your question.

I'm helping because i'm studying most this stuff and it's good repetition for me and i don't know how many times i've been in the same situation so i understand how they feel

All of them.
They all want the answers now and don't want to look it up or research it or learn it themselves.
In my opinion, we should not be giving them the answers. Only clues or hints as to how to arrive at their own answers.
This is the next generation that will be running the world, think about that the next time you give someone answers to their homework.'
