Homework
Hey Ed,
Me again! :-) On the report question options, please could we have an option labelled "homework". It's fair enough when people want views or opinions, and one word/number answers that form part of homework can not be detected. But the blatant copying out of essay questions, or more blatantly business studies and economics questions, should not be permitted. As a business AB has a corporate social responsiblity to encourage learning (after all this is the purpose of this site). This should surely be interpreted as encouraging people to learn FOR THEMSELVES. Fact and opinion providing is one thing, doing kids' homework is too much!!! We should not encourage children to expect to be spoonfed.
Alternatively, we could have a "homework" topic section so then people could ignore/help as they please! :-)
Thanks

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.How true woofgang! I did tihnk that the use of this website asking for tips on HWK from the USA (see blatant use of $s instead of �s) to be even more cheeky! There are dedicated HWK sites out there - why don't people USE them! And I thought all kids knew how to use the internet.....
If anyone DOES love helping with homework, I have a 16,000 thesis to write on the UK reaction to Sarbanes-Oxley. Should I post this up in the "news" section!?! :-p

alternatively I send them here (evil laughter)
Surely by asking a question here they are conducting legitimate research. Why is it worthier to trudge down to the library and find a book to paraphrase the answer out of? They're never going to receive a 5,000 word answer that they can cut and paste and hand in as their essay - it's just a way of getting ideas or links to more information.
Having said that, what does annoy me is when they can't be bothered to ask properly, but just type in the question exactly as it appears on the paper.
Sarbanes Oxley here but you'll need to register and pay through the nose (or visit your library)
