it's helped me because I can work with people and figure things out when I don't quite understand it. it's like free tutoring and anyone can help so you don't have to rely on just one person to know everything

It's really great cause you can ask people to justify their answers for a higher level of accuracy. Plus there's the whole interaction aspect to it as well. You also learn so much cause in my case I'm only 15 but I try googling stuff to help out and end up learning advanced stuff myself. There's also a great feeling of helping people out and being helped by people we don't even know. :P Because of this issues concerning privacy and stuff might arise but this site is pretty secure in that way as well. Also, the whole point system is really rewarding and motivating; I think this would be great for students. On the bad side though, you could just ask for answers without being bothered to think but that's upto the student I guess. Hope this helped! :)
