Math Homework Research
November 14th, 2007
Question: Why do some YA users do homework for lazy people?
Can’t they understand that they are doing more harm than good?
What is their motivation? Do they need to enhance their own self-image? Are they hoping to find friends?
I can agree with telling someone how to solve a (math) problem, but not solving the problem for them. I frequently will suggest a web site so students can do their own research.
All opinions, thumbs up, and stars will be gratefully accepted. For that matter, so will thumbs down and nasty answers. I may even learn something.
Answer: The real problem is the fact that instead of motivating kids to learn, they motivate them to find the right answers. If I’m giving help with language homework, I’ll a lot. But most of the homework help I do is one word/one sentence kinda answers.
