Student Homework "Questions"?

Is everybody out there willing to continue to let the inmates run the asylum when it comes to ignorant children demanding term papers the night before they're due?


Is anyone going to complain to YA! about this abuse of the site?


Does anyone agree that referring a student to a dictionary because it would be faster and more accurate is NOT a "Violation" - specifically NOT an answer? Sure looks like one to me.


These kids are ruining it for everyone else - student and answerer alike. Good students who want help are ignored while lousy students who wait until the last minute to demand an answer that took a Semester to teach "Violate" those who point them to a dictionary.


Where the h--- is a person at Yahoo who will investigate and DO something about this?


When will others refuse to answer these lazy kid's demands?


Or am I the only stupid one?


(There are others who are starting to refuse-THANKS!!)

Student Homework "Questions"?
I'm right there with you.





Sadly I have also had run ins with the folks at Yahoo abuse (over something else) The folks at Yahoo are stupid, and lazy and they don't care.





If I kid is using the site to get others to do his homework, they don't care, he's using their site, seeing the ads, they get paid.





The best thing to do when you find one of these is LIE. (nobody said you have to give a CORRECT answer). Then little lazy boy will go into school, get a well deserved F, and tell all his buddies "don't use Yahoo answers for your homework dude!"





So every so often, make something up...especially if they have "PLEASE HELP" or "DUE TOMORROW" on it..because that tells you they are just going to copy and paste and not check. Write an essay about how President Roosvelt sponsored the Apollo Program, or Thomas Edison showed the Earth was round, or the Wright Brothers broke the speed of sound in 1922, or Alexander the Great defeated the Chinese in the Boxer Rebellion.
Reply:I ignore the obvious questions or the ones I know I cannot answer and zoom in on the ones that are specific and ask about something I can answer. But yes, I agree there seems to be a lot of clamoring for the spoonfeeding.
