anonymous · Answer

mertsj · Answer

Well good for school.  He/she knows how to do it.  Perhaps you could submit all you homework questions to him/her and then you wouldn't have to do anything.  (of course you wouldn't learn anything either.)

anonymous · Answer

I taught it to him/her so stop being a jerk the kid/young adult just needed some help so I explained and showed the answer, sometimes people don't get it right away. my teacher always tells me the answer then explains when I ask for help, so that I don't get lost along the way.

amistre64 · Answer

its actually better for these basic things to let the asker come to the answer thru guidance.  Which is what Mertsj was trying to accomplish

anonymous · Answer

well I guess since I am a kid and I am coming from a kids perspective just trying to help the way me and all of my friends minds work makes me retar ded but whatever... I guess getting "Best Answer" doesn't mean anything either.

amistre64 · Answer

Best Answer doesnt mean anything really :)

I understand the "kid" point of view.  But try to see it from us "old people" point of view as well.

anonymous · Answer

Oh and by the way he knew how to do it, he explained the answer to me just now, he just got confused :P

anonymous · Answer

I do . and the old people veiw, AKA the way my mom trys to teach me doesn't work

anonymous · Answer

im not stupid just struggled a little bit so dang cut me a break geesh

amistre64 · Answer

I can tell your young, you like to try to prove your position.  :)  But I am glad you offered some reasoning afterwards

anonymous · Answer

Oh hun no one is calling you stupid! They are basically telling me I should just talk you through it with hints instead of giving the answer and then explaining.

mertsj · Answer

Well, one thing I would say, is that if someone is explaining to an asker, it is probably just as well not to butt in.

anonymous · Answer

just leave the topic alone your rude man

mertsj · Answer

I guess my thought would be that the one who interrupts is the rude one.
