Should we answer homework questions?

Should we answer homework questions posted by students who can barely spell and are too lazy to solve math problems on their own?

    Sometimes it is the kids who just need a boost over a hard problem or a kid with learning problems that is getting stressed. I answer with this in mind. If the ones who chose to cheat get most of the answers here or off of another student they will pay for it on test day and will pay for it a great deal when it comes time to pass their final test to get out of high school. So they are hurting themselves.They only set themselves up for failure. Their parents will go to school and yell that he passed all his work so how could he fail the test to get out?! The teachers will be blamed that they are not teaching correctly and just give grades and all kinds of stuff. The parents will not know that their "little darling" cheated all the way through and deserves the failure. The kid will probably end up flipping burgers IF they do not see the light after failing. IF they do see what they have done they will be able to study hard,get a tutor and make up all of the work they have missed learning. So I answer questions that appeal to me or the kid seems to really be struggling! Best wishes!

    Helping someone with homework questions related to the Computer Field, sure, help a little.. We all need a hand now and then, it's the modern technology decade, point, show, and guide, they will get the assistance, and have to work for it too..

    My Son came home the other Day, Needing a $150.00 Calculator for Math Class, because the teachers are too lazy to teach it anymore, they want the calculators to do it.. Lazy F****ers.

    ok, one, this is not the place for this question, and two, if they ask how to solve a problem, then answer it, and three, THIS OFFENDS ME!!! (Should we answer homework questions posted by students who can barely spell and are too lazy to solve math problems on their own?) We are not lazy, you should really think before you speak, And four, WE CHOOSE TO USE "CHAT LINGO". You are an insult to students across the U.S. That kind of thing is extremely offending, never do it again!!!!!!

    Kids today have become lazy. Having had almost everything handed to them or given to them, they have no concept of work. My children were told from first grade on that their job is being a student and that is why it is called homework and schoolwork. They are all straight A students. Yet my niece on her 2nd day of university complained about the amount of reading required. I laughed at her and told her that it exponentially increases with every year. She asked "what's exponentially?" I told her to look it up and got all pissy.

    I'd like to say no But if they say they have done the whole problem and are stuck on something maybe we can give them the sites to go to , this way we are not giving them the answer We are allowing them to read and figure it out.because thats the only way they are going to retain it in there brain. If we answer all there questions then as they grow up they will expect everything for nothing.

    Yes! The reason they ask is because they're not getting taught in school these days! Another reason is they just don't care anyway, so No!

    It appears I disagree with myself...

    Final answer..?

    Definitely YES! But they need to know HOW to get the answer...!

    sometimes i have a question on a problem that im not sure what the answer is.

    you shouldn't answer the ones that post a list of 20 questions.

    Well, I think I already have answered quite a few homework questions. I guess it can't hurt anything.

    I see nothing wrong with answering one or two questions per student, but not more than that.
