When is Homework Night?

[jake-the-peg]

I think it's great that people come and have the presence of thought to use sites like this when they get stuck on their homework. Although personaly I kind of prefer it when they come out with it rather than simply post the homework question and hope we wont notice.

But does anybody else get the feeling that Friday is when Science homework is due in?

Yes, it's great they can come here when they get stuck. What bugs me is that by the looks of it, they're not stuck, they're just posting the whole lot and hoping we'll do it while they're busy being groovy, or shopping at miss sixty.

Just me being annoyed at my own teenagers, maybe!!

haha, "being groovy & shopping at miss sixty" - oh the good old days

as a teenager who takes science myself (well, physics at least), i can tell you that most of these Qs are SATs & GCSE level, for which there are few answers that can't be found by looking in the textbooks provided & the revision guides that these kids will probably have been instructed by their schools to buy.

personally i think it's much easier (& better for one's education!) to glance in the textbook before asking other people. unless, of course, you left your textbook at school because it didn't fit in your ridiculously small & impractical gucci rip-off handbag(!)

Well that's why it's better to give hints than answers sometimes.

Mind you it's amazing how many GSE and SAT questions have really complex underlying issues. You start gravity with apples falling out of trees then a few years later it's "forget all that stuff it's really warped space-time".

And that's not the half of it!

Space time isn't warped! It's just a bit quirky now and then ;-)

jake-the-peg perhaps it's not so amazing when you consider that science studies reality, so it's just a simplified version of what's really going on!
