I have come across alot of questions that are very clearly homework....is it okay for young people to get "help" this way?? Or is is just a cop out??
And in the long run will produce alot of people with not alot of knowledge of what they should know....If understanding of information could be guaranteed then I wouldnt have a problem with this...I know that when exams come they wont know it and thats not right
Maybe its just the internet itself - information is at your fingertips....

Yahoo Answers is no better than a search engine when it comes to finding answers for your homework. It's funny because there are some really stupid questions posted here that otherwise would have taken them 5 second to search up. This will lead to a decline of intelligence, but they will suffer when the finals come. So even without Yahoo Answers, they could still search it, thus still having a decline, as long as they don't read anything and take the easy way the will not learn a thing.

properly, if the objective of homework is to enhance college paintings, then the newborn might desire to have already discovered the innovations in college and does not choose help answering the question. If the objective of the instructor is to get out of having to coach interior the faculty and make the newborn self prepare at living house, then the newborn needs to have the flexibility to apply besides the fact that source is attainable to them. might you have a situation with them looking up the innovations in an encyclopedia? Or their college books? the two may well be places the place a team of people have been given mutually just to respond to homework form questions.... right here besides the indisputable fact which you do have the undertaking that no longer each and every physique who solutions has the impressive answer. the elementary answer may well be the incorrect answer, working example : 3+3+3*9+a million does not equivalent 80 two, inspite of the indisputable fact that many human beings will answer that it does.

Asking other people is the second oldest way of learning, watching is the oldest.We have learned for some five million years by asking only,i don`t think its gone obsolete just because some guy who was too lazy to talk invented books to make a huge profit in the side. This ain`t all bad, methinks.

Well, asking homework questions in Yahoo Answers is okay, as long as the answers help show the asker how to come up with the answer so that they may learn.
Afterall, isn't that what parents are supposed to do -- be there to help their kids figure out how to do the homework?
If you just give the answer, what does that do to help the asker figure out the answer on his/her own the next time?

I won't say its getting homework done for free. Yes, I can post my homework up here and get it done by others, but I won't CHOOSE to do that, because even if I happen to do that, I will still have to decide on a best answer and hence read several answers going through what is happening in them and in turn/theory, learn about what i'm supposed to learn in the homework. afterall, it's all about the what that person who posted their homework up here chose to do, its all part of a steep/gentle learning curve, depends on how u look at it.

asking questions on yahoo just saves time as children are bound to be searching for the answers anyway on the internet. why not just get a few other people to help along the way. i think it would be wrong to just copy other people's answers word for word and not credit it to them.
i use it for homework for RE so it can help me get a range of different points of views on certain topics, so that i am not completely bias and so i know the whole story of something. yet when i quote people i mention where i get my answers from.

it is a cop out, but u can't get reliable information just from here alone
the student needs to check out and verify the info given, and visit any URLs that are provided.
if he or she doesnt do this, then the student will risk getting a bad grade from unconfirmed information.
so in that way, the student is still doing some work and putting in effort!

It's a form of research.
What's wrong with that?
Besides, it's the individual's fault if they don't learn from homework and apply that knowledge to exams.
I don't think it's for you to worry about really...

You're right - but let's face it, if we'd had the chance we'd do exactly the same thing. I wonder if the kids are aware that they won't get internet access during the exams?!
