Question

and falling further behind every day?

Answer 1

Bingo
You got it !

Answer 2

I think the students who ask for homework answers here are lazy - and brilliant. How many have you read where the student asks something like, "Could anyone please give me some suggestions for web sites I can go to for help on this problem?" NONE (well maybe one). Every one I have ever read is asking for the actual answer to the problem, which they will then copy down, ver batim, and turn it in as if it were their own brain that worked to get the answer. These are no dummies, folks.

I would happily point any one of them in the right direction, but am continually amazed that others seem to have no issue with providing the actual answers here for these students. Who do they think they are helping? Yes, our students are falling behind. They are the "no accountability" generation, and as long as they are allowed to skate by with doing the absolute minimum - they will.

Answer 3

Let's think about this. How many questions have you seen that involves a homework problem that the person genuinely doesn't understand? Can you say that people are just lazy without actually knowing if they're familiar with the material? And how do you know that everyone that has asked a question about homework is someone that resides in the United States? And how does asking a question on this service correlate to getting behind in school work? In short, you're an idiot.

Answer 4

At first blush I would have agreed. However, when students began using handheld calculators in math classes .... and when many educators were up in arms about this phenomenon ..... wiser folk soon realized the calculator was simply a tool to solve problems faster than the old way. The bow and arrow replaced the lance, the rifle replaced the bow and arrow, etc.

The Internet is just another research tool. One can actually search "legitimate" sites, or one can let others do the research for them (Yahoo! Answers); either way, the information sought meets the class assignment.

I'm still on the rail but I was against the calculator, and then the computer, for quite awhile.

Time marches on!

Answer 5

Wait, i'm an grownup going lower back to college on the age of 38 and that i've got an quite complicated time with algebra, so I definitely have published my questions approximately-line and a few people definitely make an effort to describe how the subject is solved quite of only giving an answer, i be attentive to I ought to get those products and to appreciate it yet generally instructors provide you one pattern for each variety of difficulty and that's that, a minimum of at right here every person is taking their time to respond to the question. I provide my factors to the guy who enables me to appreciate my difficulty and in many circumstances I provide my view or attempt on the subject 1st and that they tell me what i'm doing incorrect. so as a student I do understand why simply by fact whats up you all are rapid at right here and that i will get directly to the subsequent difficulty. it is my own protection i'm unable to talk for different pupils and what their intentions are..............

Answer 6

Yes lazy, but not stupid . And I have never seen so many who cannot spell the simplest words.They do not know how this will affect them later when they are out there trying to live on their own. These are the individuals that we will be supporting with our tax dollars because they will not be able to hold a job or too lazy to get a job. They are more interested in having sex at 13 years of age, what clothes they are going to be wearing, and if he or she likes me or not OMG.

Answer 7

I think there are many people who could care less about their education, especially at the high school level. I don't think it's necessarily proof that americans are stupid and lazy. There are also a lot of people who work hard at their education.

Answer 8

Duh. These people are ADOLESCENTS, which hardly proves anything about anyone. How many adolescents do you know, now or in the past, who wouldn't take advantage of any opportunity possible not to do their own homework? I don't think you can use that fact as proof that Americans, by and large, are stupid and lazy.

Answer 9

Basically...stupid, no; lazy, YES! Sometimes we just don't understand something and this is an easy way to get help fast. You get tons of answers within minutes and someone is bound to know something on the subject.

Answer 10

it could be... I would go with the lazy part though. Most people just simply don't want to take the time to look things up or figure them out for themselves. Sad in a way..

Answer 11

I vote for year round school but would have probally attempted harm on the person that suggested that while I was acctually still in school..but yes America is falling behind
