When I grew up we had to do our own homework.

I totally agree with you.
I try not to solve questions but only provide steps to help students find the answer on their own.
If the question appears to be complicated, I usually lend a helping hand.

Sometimes, I found that knowing the answer or process to ONE or TWO problems would help me understand the general process for the rest of the homework.
Some people genuinely need some tutoring or guided practice to help them understand. That is why I help when I can on here. It doesn't always help to tell others "I'm not doing your homework for you. Learn it yourself."
If I had to relearn how some algebra concepts work, I might even need some help from someone else. Of course, I've learned it once and have used those concepts regularly for the past ~seven years. For someone who's learning it for the very first time, it's a completely different story.
My personal philosophy is to help others without bias. End of story.

No they will not learn well if someone else does their homework for them. However, some coaching certainly is helpful. When people answer these questions it is perhaps best - in some cases to show the formulas or how to get to the formula but let the student complete the question on his/her own.

I think that they will learn more then them doing the homework themselves, but if i had kids i would not let them do it often, just the rough homework that they cant accomplish on their own, but I think that they will learn more i honestly do, I did my sons homework now and then, when he was in 1st grade, and He got punished for it, and the teacher yelled at me, But my boy is all grown up now, Soo, but when you do help them with homework, then have them learn from your work

We didn't have none of these compytuters when I were a lad. A bit of chalk and a paving slab were what I had to do my PhD on, and I were working 27 hours a day down t'pit an all.
Actually, yes I agree with you, but they are children who haven't learned yet. One day, they will try to log on in an exam hall, and ...oh, bugger.

They may well learn some things here, but to ask for help to do their whole assignment is to much.
It is OK to ask for help to get them going in the right direction.

I agree--I think the only way to learn mathematics is to struggle a bit with it.

Not really, especially if that person is not very good in math. A little help won't hurt them.

if we need help why not ask for it
