Why do so many ask History questions for homework?

I totally agree, and what I find the most amusing is that it's always the advanced placement U.S. history kids asking for help, and they're always keen to point out to you that they are in ADVANCED PLACEMENT U.S. history. It makes me wonder if the kids who are regular history just don't care, or their questions are easier, or they are used to having to work hard, so they just suck it up and do their own homework.

I also like it when they try to rephrase a lengthy essay question in a way they think makes it appear to be a casual, offhand question they're asking out of curiosity. When they can barely spell, and their effort is limited to "I was just wondering..." followed by five detailed, in depth analysis questions, I feel my intelligence a bit insulted.

In my day, you didn't even have to go to the library unless you were writing a paper. For your homework, listening to your teacher in class and reading your book were enough. But apparently, this is too difficult for the kids today. But I can hardly blame them. The more liberal progressive brainwashing they fail to internalize, the better. But then, they probably make up for it by watching the Daily Show and Family Guy.

Ok, well, may I say that, your opinion is quite a strong one, but I'd like to point this out, as more things come out, things turn out differently. Why write out a 50 step calculation, when you can have a few button presses and still get the same result, why write on paper, when typing is faster, neater, and easier to look at? Now, these examples, are just some basic examples, but I'd like to add on a little more. I do believe you should be first taught how to write, read, and calculate using traditional style teaching methods, so no using calculators, no computers, and no sparknotes. Why? Because you're actually, understanding, how things work. To actually answer to your first paragraph of actually looking up on the internet. I have to ask, why is it a bad thing to look up on the internet? A trustworthy website can have as much information or more than an actual book, and it doesn't require you to have to waste gasoline money, or have the potential of getting kidnapped. If you think about it, the internet can be a sort of convenient library which you may or may not agree on, but doesn't the internet have encyclopedias, doesn't the internet have how-to guides, doesn't the internet have biographies of almost every single known celebrity in the history of history? The only thing we don't seem to have are actual pieces of literature, which I believe should be that way. To answer your actual question you asked, I believe asking other people solely for the purpose of just getting the answer is definitely wrong, I agree with your first statement, but looking up for the information via search engine(which could be considered like the dewey decimal system) isn't asking someone for information(because that's just like saying looking in a book is actually asking someone for information). To your last paragraph on "manners", "etiquette" and "life". I have nothing to say about that, and here's a good day to you.

I think some are actually serious, that they actually want to find factual examples that's why I always put my sources when I recommend something. But mostly, it's laziness. Being a student for many many years the internet can be an easy way out. It's to bad, and hopefully people start to realize the best sources are in the library like you mentioned!!
