Question

What is your reason for not giving direct answers?

Answer 1

Because this is a homework site and we're SUPPOSED TO guide them and explain how to do the work.

Answer 2

Mine is In the preface to his book Educational Psychology: A Cognitive View, he says that “If [he] had to reduce all of educational psychology to just one principle, [he] would say this: The most important single factor influencing learning is what the learner already knows.

For the user : Learning will not happen. A really good habit of thinking about one/multiple solution(s) will not get formed. Their big loss!

For me : Waste of my time, I'm not here to do anyone's homework.

Answer 8

Usually when someone posts a question they usually include the word `help`. Now the word `help` means to aid someone in schoolwork it means to help someone through the work not to give the answer directly otherwise they will not learn. For those who include the word `help` please look up the meaning before you go and ask as well for the `direct answer`.
