@helpme1.2, once I delete your answer, the medal you received will be taken away and you will not receive any credit for just giving the answer. In fact, the only thing that will have been accomplished here (if it can even be called an accomplishment) is that the user will have been given the answer without any explanation or understanding of how to arrive at the correct answer on his or her own in similar problems without help. Basically, in this case, no facilitating, guiding, or demonstration of the process of learning how to solve problems was given which means, the user didn't learn anything and the foundational goals of Open Study have been compromised. I recommend that you re-evaluate your approach to helping students here. Otherwise, more appropriate actions will be taken to resolve this issue.

Answer 13

We as humans are naturally inclined to be lazy often times when someone else (of considerable influence) around us is being lazy. And particularly young people as they are influenced by others. Thus more you demonstrate "laziness" when helping other users, the more inclined (to be lazy) other users will be when doing their homework. That's why, when a user is present, you should take advantage of the opportunity to facilitate and demonstrate the appropriate problem solving approach and the process of learning as much as possible, because how you facilitate is what they will remember in their experience with Open Study. If when they come here, you do all the work for them, they will think that all they have to do is simply post their question and all the work will be done for them and that they don't have to do anything else except just kick back, watch, and observe. However, if you involve them in the process, then they will understand that being involved is part of the way things work here.
