What's the deal with posting your homework on here?

Question

I'm fairly new to Yahoo Answers but one thing has been bothering me to no end...

What's the deal with the lazy kids these days posting their homework on here? And has anyone been caught?

As for teachers, have you caught any of your students or do you do things to prevent your students from doing this?

Answer 1

people on yahoo answers have helped me get a friggin 20/20 than half an hour in a classroom with a teacher who wont even answer my questions.

hence the website name : yahoo ANSWERS

its good for people; ... who want answers

;)  

Answer 2

Totally! I can get wanting help understanding a question or being pointed in the right direction, but when they just post an entire question sheet (when it would probablt be less hassle to just google the answers) It really shows the laziness of some people. Just today I've seen several who have admitted to not reading the book they were assigned.

Another question would be why do people answer and do their homework for them? Is it just for the points? Are people that desperate to become net popular?

Answer 3

Students are just really lazy and do not want to take the time to learn their subjects.  I am about to graduate and become a teacher and I am going to make every student give me their yahoo names at the start of class and will bust them.  Because whether they realize it or not, getting your answers off of yahoo is a form of plagiarism!

Answer 4

Kids want to get better marks, I guess

Or having trouble
