Yeah, I do it myself. :-P

Answer 9

What happened?

Answer 10

By that, I mean, why is this suddenly being brought up? Was there a big issue of cheating recently?

Answer 11

Each question is an issue of cheating. :-)

Answer 12

I LOL'd so hard at that picture.

Answer 13

@SWAG me to xD

Answer 14

In my opinion, there needs to be a posting on EVERY question of the Open Study policy for asking for help.

Answer 15

FLVS banned their students from seeking help on this site o_O

Answer 16

O_o are they having a big problem with u guys?

Answer 17

but why?

Answer 18

People aren't being tutored their just being given the answers.

Answer 19

What's FLV?

Answer 20

Florida Virtual School

Answer 21

what kind of school is FLVUS ???

Answer 22

Homeschooled, you learn online. Hence "Virtual".

Answer 23

That's risky... was that well-thought out? How does it stop students from cheating online, say, on exams?

Answer 24

*homeschool kids * jk xD

Answer 25

Someone's watching?

Answer 26

There not proctored but they can tell if you copy something off the internet.

Answer 27

Wonder how they do that....

Answer 28

Multiple choice I don't believe they have a way of checking. I have no idea, but never copy anything off of yahoo or wiki or they'll be all over ya

Answer 29

Even if you change it up a little its still not your work.

Answer 30

Hmmm... well, in the long run, the cheater doesn't learn anything... ideally.

Answer 31

Yep, I come here often if I'm stuck or if I want to check an answer and I haven't got in trouble for that.

Answer 32

guys i have been telling people the same thing for 2 years but they still cheat and never learn :(

Answer 33

It's new guys, I hope...

Answer 34

They said that even though OS says their a tutoring site too many people give out the answer instead of helping.

Answer 35

They have to be willing to learn. :-)

Answer 36

Since there is no dedicated answer givers, and just anyone can blurt out a response .... yeah, that happens

Answer 37

I have kinda stopped answering questions because of that. It's very hard to explain for me. However, we do have people like @Directrix, @jim_thompson5910, @Mertsj and of course THE AMISTRE!

Answer 38

we also have subject headers that are spread all over the academic map, that users can hide in to swap answers relatively undetected

Answer 39

Parth, the trick is to let the asker do the explaining :)

Answer 40

Should I just leave the question if the answer does not have the most basic knowledge of the question?

Answer 41

asker*

Answer 42

well, if they are not willing to provide you with some clue as to what they know .. i tend to just leave and move on. When they want to learn the material, theyll participate

Answer 43

OK, will keep that in mind. :-)

Answer 44

some questions i answer just for the sake of remembering how to do it lol

Answer 45

There are questions that are so simple (forgive the slight pomp) that's it's incredibly difficult to help out without providing the answer ever so explicitly...

Answer 46

HAHAHA :-P

Answer 47

@terenzreignz You articulated my feeling really accurately. :-)

Answer 48

And fancily :D
But you said i was too comprehensive o.O

Answer 49

x+2 = 5 , what is x? yeah, thats a hard one to teach without rooting out the basics. It also seems like a lazy question, but i have to be careful to judge on those

Answer 50

to that, I usually say... do you know what you add 2 to get 5?

Answer 51

if you know you have 5 kittens, and you only see 2 of them ripping apart the curtains, how many do you not see chewing on the extension cords?

Answer 52

Epic!

Answer 53

lol, i like word problems

Answer 54

imho "virtual school" = virtual learning

Answer 55

@satellite73 LOL! That made me laugh so hard

Answer 56

And also, virtual social abilities.

Answer 57

Virtual personality.

Answer 58

glad to lighten it up a bit, but really, can you imagine? the only thing more criminal is "home schooling" i.e. parents who have the hubris to believe they are competent to teach subjects they no little or nothing about (or ignore those subjects all together)

Answer 59

*know (which is why i would not attempt to teach anyone english)
