I've noticed that there are some students who use the languages section of Y!A as a means of getting answers to their homework questions, so they won't have to do the work themselves. Unfortunately, there are also some answerers who are more than happy to do their work for them. Why? I know that everyone here enjoys getting points, but don't the answerers realize that they aren't doing the questioners any favors by doing their homework for them? After all, the only way the questioners are going to learn their target language is if they actually do the work themselves.

I agree with you. I don't do homework for those kids. I differentiate homework from legitimate questions. I leave homework questions to point-hungry people and those with a bleeding hearts "itchy to help" the desperadoes. Not I! I don't judge people but I don't want to contribute to laziness nor do a disservice to learners.

If you pay attention to the answers given.. you'll see that MANY of them are not doing them a favour. Their answers are so off (or... at least, getting things translated from an online translator), that most answers are plain crap.
Y!A is great to get guidance. But I wouldn't rely on this community to get my homework done. Yes, there are a lot of very aknowledable participants, but they are by no means the majority.
In any case, the real problem belongs to the ones asking, not to the ones answering.

I would like to consider that it's up to parents to regulate their children. OK, sometimes, I don't answer because it's so clear some are trying to cheat and parents need to be helped too. But, it would also annoy me to let some earnest pupil in despair.
I have to recognize I kind of enjoy answering too, and at times, temptation is too great... :-)

If they don't wanna learn it's not really my problem, some people on here use it just for the bits they are stuck on and need help with, it's not upto me to judge which type of question it is.
If someone asks for help and I can help then I do it - just the way I am. I don't go around questioning their motives.

So true - I personally restrain answering, being aware of what you truly say - but it makes me dead angry to say that addict-answerers, kinds of people who would be keen answering a zero-question, reply - anything but reply at any price - reply bad - or reply by reference to translator sites -
or copy-paste previous answers ( I swear it's true ) if answers would be furuncles, they'd look like "psoriasis- affected-toads" -
Sorry to depict is not to resolve - I have no solution
OOOhh just read my upper neighbour - this is an example of home-task question " How will do you says "big potatato" in fwench " ? -
