To ask for answers to their homework here, rather than doing it on their own, or getting 'help'(not answers) from a tutor or other student/friend/parent?

To the answers of 'it's okay and nothing wrong with it', that's the reason jobs will continue to go to new immigrants from India, Phillipines, and other studious countries! You guys will be flipping burgers at McDc's!

I have asked questions about my calculus homework here, but only after crying, screaming, throwing books at moving targets, and beating my head against a wall. Seriously though, after every other avenue has been explored. If one spends so long on a problem (especially math), that person won't get anywhere without a fresh point of view.
I'm not a high school student, and I can't say why anyone else asks their homework questions. When I do ask, I want the HOW and WHY not just the answer. Just the answer is in no way helpful and I agree that people who only want the answers and not to learn will be doing the grunt jobs, and not by choice.

Do students actually trust everyone who gives them an answer on yahoo answers? I don't know how many students would put the wrong answer on their homework if they asked "What's 2+2?" and 30 people typed 5 as an answer!

I answered one of these "do my homework for me questions" a few days ago.
The question was literally a copy / paste of a multiple choice quiz (Subject English / Grammar).
Rather than answer with: A, C, D, C (e.g. multi-choice answers), I pointed the asker to an online version of Elements of Style so that they could get the answers themselves.
Boy did I get the thumbs down!!!!! Then someone else answered with the ACDDB and got bunches of thumbs up.
So... (at least some) the people doing that here do not want help and do not want to learn they just want someone else to do their work for them.
Their lack of learning (willingness to learn) will catch up to them.

Sometimes it is okay to ask for help, HOWEVER, I have seen so many students ask for "help" before they have even tackled the answer. Unfortunately, this is the new wave. Students now are looking for instant gratification in all walks of life

If they found out the answer that way isn't in the same as finding the answer on their own? All they did was find a way to find the answer. Hats off to them.

I am assuming that it is. But my children are not allowed to use the computer for that such thing. We do homework the old fashioned way go. they study at the library with no internet access.

Yup. Many people take the easy way out. How are you supposed to learn if you can't figure it out for yourself? People who do that are only hurting themselves. Employers look for people who can think on their feet and can find creative solutions to problems, and you won't get that by asking a bunch of armchair quarterbacks on Y!A.

some kids get help and try to get ideas and some kids alos try to get straight up answers, the ones who cheat will always cheat the ones who are smart will remain smart and successfull. simple as that.
