Answer 1

Sorry, I don't think I'm "required to comply" with anything.

And I think you do your son a disservice by doing his homework for him.  What will he learn from this, except maybe how to manipulate other people into doing his work for him??

Answer 2

Sounds like a decent enough question, if art's your thing.

However, if you give a man a fish etc.

Teach your son to do this research by all means, but don't do it for him. He should be able to understand the requirements for the assignment, and if he is really struggling then he should speak with his tutors.

Having said all that, I have sometimes assisted my kids with their studies and have found it useful and informative, just be wary of crossing the line of doing it for them.

Enjoy.
