If you rely on other people to answer for you you're never going to learn anything!. Some of the questions I've seen asked today alone are really quite annoying; you're trying to find the easy way out of study and, what's worse, is that some of them are trying to avoid reading some excellent works of fiction!.
Please do your own work, it will only benefit you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I agree that it's kind of apalling!. Like you (and Lisa), I understand if someone has genuinely put in the effort to understand a book and are seeking help AFTER reading the text!. But it seems like this forum is 75% a haven for Twilight fans and kids who are too lazy to do their schoolwork!. There's a reason things are assigned to you in school! 99% of the time it's to your benefit to read what's assigned!. They should try opening a book and turning offThe OC!. However, for those who have read the books and just need a little direction, I never mind helping!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Students should read the texts first, then seek help for the questions they have difficulty with!. If you don't read the text (and your class notes!) then you probably won't understand the answer you get here on Yahoo!Answers!. You learn nothing and when you get to the exam, you won't be able to answer the questions on the test!. As a former teacher may I also point out that teachers can tell when a student is jus regurgitating things he/she don't understand!. You see, the ideas don't connectproperly in the answer!. I think this kind of forum is actually a good place for serious students to get some extra help that can lead to a better understanding!. We can also help students who are really struggling to understand their work, some people aren't good at a subject and do need help!. But for students who are too lazy to do their own work, in the long run it doesn't help them much!.Www@QuestionHome@Com so what!? im sorry but we don't really care if we learn anything or not, we're just trying to get through the class!. those excellent works are SO BORING!!! im going into 9th grade an honestly have never read a course book!. not tom sawyer, tale of 2 citys, romeo and juliet, to kill a mockingbird, the hobbit, or taming of the shrew!. there's no point in reading them! we go over them in class and if its enough to pass the test why do the other work!? this year i never cracked open romeo and juliet!. and i got all A's!. see what im saying!? theres no point!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Totally agree with you! Some people just want the easy way out! Thanks to computers and the internet reading is out of fashion! When I was in school I got told off for finishing my reading books way before the rest of the class! I was always ahead of the others so when it came to my turn to read my friend had to give me her copy at the right page! Www@QuestionHome@Com I agree with the asker! I've once or twice asked a simple question about one part of the book, but I've never come on here asking "then what happens!.!.!. what was the theme!.!.!. what was the symbolism!.!.!. why did this happen!?" it's so aggravating to come on here and see most of the questions are "lykee, totes help me with ma hmwkkk!!!!111!"Www@QuestionHome@Com I agree! Read it and then you will know the themes and plots and characters! The best part is reading it! Quit trying to get out of reading!. I don't know why anyone would want to not read!.!.!.!.!.I just don't get it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com we may ask questions on certain reading materials but its because we need some help answering questions based on the reading!.!. like i did!. I read the story but didn't understand it!.!. Www@QuestionHome@Com |
