ReplyDeleteCheck out this article....read it before you post!!!
I agree with tofloataway@xanga that help someone to understand is a diferent thing that do the homework for them. If the children has a doubt or questions about their assignments can ask their parents to explain or give examples on how to do it. But when the child does not make nothing by himself and hopes that parents do everything for them, there is the problem. Parents who do this make their children not to take responsibilities. I remember when I was a child never asked for help from my parents to do the job, except when I had doubts about the meaning of something. And I think that's good! This does not limit me. I can do my homework and not drown in a glass of water. By other side, the article "Academic Dishonesty: Are Parents Helping Children Cheat?" is very interesting because sometimes parents may think that they are helping their children with homework but the reality is that make all for them is cheating.

ReplyDeletei don't think that if your parents help is cheating unless they give you all the answer. is obviously that our parent check our homework before we turn them in (at an age appropriate not in college) because they wanted us to do things right. my mother used to check my work but she never tell me the answer she only go over the question and make me think if it was correct but she never directly tell me the answer because she wanted to know if i was understanding the material.

ReplyDeleteNo. I do not think that helping your child with homework is cheating. I agree with tofloataway@xanga, Burghess@xanga, There is a difference within helping and doing the homework for them. If your child doesn’t know how to do something or doesn’t understand it, you as a parent should help them with little steps so that the child understands it better but if you do the work for them that is cheating and the child isn’t learning anything. When I was little my mom or grandma helped me sometimes with my math homework because I have always been lazy learning math, I hate it.

ReplyDeleteI kind of identify myself a bit with kristinabean@xanga except I'm not a mom, but yes I too am used to doing all of my homework alone. My mom and dad stopped helping me with my homework since I was like, what 5? And seeing how other people get good grades that they don't deserve frustrates me because I had to work hard for my assignments and little miss/mister lazy over here only has to say the word mom/dad and they'll do his/her homework for her/him. I also agree with JenHamrick@xanga if a parent takes time to help the child not only do their homework but teach him how it's done as well, it is not cheating; but if a parent does the homework while the kid is out playing videogames and stuff, well that's cheating. Remember helping isn't cheating and cheating isn't helping. Sure sometimes you get so tired or frustrated that you don't understand the homework, but that is no reason to cheat, there are other ways to get a good grade like going to a tutor, have a peer explain better your homework, or even going to the same teacher who gave you the assignment in the first place and ask for help; that way he'll see you are making an effort of getting a good grade and doing the assignment yourself. In my opinion you should only resort to cheating when the situation calls for it; I mean not if you didn't study for an exam and don't know the answer, but a real emergency, almost life and death even. Do it only when necessary.
I don’t think is totally wrong because, in the elementary grades the parents work as a Teacher to. When I was in my elementary grades, I usually need help to do homework, or study for an exam. But that was for elementary grades, because when I was in high school, or secondary, I never receive help for my parents even if I asked for help, my mother think that is cheating. But, one think is help, and other is doing the job for the kid. Because, then, when mom or dad don’t be with you...Who is going to do the job? That is the problem with "Help" kids do Homework.

I am agree with tofloataway@xanga, Burghess@xanga. Helping yours kids with the homework is not cheating it is just helping your kids with some, when you have a kid as parents you have to teach your kids in all what they dont know or dont understand. I dont think helping is cheating. But i think the parents should help the kids but they cant give them the complete answers, let the kids work for it but help then with any questions that they have.

As parents, we are called to be the teachers at home. Even the teachers in school ask the parents to help their children with the homework. Helping your kid with homework is not cheating because, when you help him, you are just acting as a teacher and trying to get him to find the right answer.
ReplyDeleteOn first hand, we can see that helping our kids is not cheating because you are just acting like a teacher at home and helping him to move forward to the right answer. But in the other hand, we cannot do the work of thinking that he has to do in order to get that "right answer". The thing is that the children has got to get the right answer thinking by their-selves and putting in the peaces together that we give to them. Also, if you help your child with homework by doing it for them, then it can be called cheating, because the kid is not answering, it is the parent that is answering.
My parents never helped me with my homework. My father just got to 3rd grade and my mother to 9th grade, so they just couldn't help me a lot with it. But they did what the parent role really is: "Stimulate the children's work at school and check for his/er improvement on the school and its homework"
Helping your kid can only be cheating if you do your kid's work in the homework, but if not, you can help your kid with homework and stimulate his way of working in order to get the right answer.

ReplyDeleteI’m agree with tofloataway@xanga because there a big difference between the help of your parents and them doing the homework for you. Every parent since we start school like kinder garden they always get our book bag and looks for the homework’s and help us do it . I think is better for us that the parents help us with the homework; they are like our second’s teacher is more easily to understand a homework with a little help. Cheating could be when they do our homework’s without us.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree with tofloataway@xanga. There is no way i think cheating has to do with parents helping there childreens unless they do there homework. In fact is a good thing that parents help there childreens with their stuff. why? because it help them to feel more comfortable with their things and thats what they most want, parents that are there for them, to help them and clear doubts, always support them and have a good comunication.
I have read many of the comments and agree with one thing. Helping your kids do their homework is not cheating as long as you don’t give them the answers. My parents use to help me all the time with my homework and they still do. I actually have friends whose parents do their homework the funny thing is one didn’t learn anything and would fail his test all the time and my other friend learned by letting his parents do his homework he would get a’s in his test and when the teacher asked him something he always knew the answer.
ReplyDeleteI read post from pika_whoosh@xanga, TheLizarellaProject@xanga, Nemokama@xanga and many others.

ReplyDeleteI think when the parent help the child is not cheating, because the parent are helping the student, and I think this process passwhe are a child, because whe you are un hig school or in the university the parent dont check the homerwork. I think cheating is when other person make your homerwork, dont when some people help you.

ReplyDeleteI agree with this comment. Helping and Cheating are to very big and different things. I remember when i was very little sometimes my mom would write the answers for me and then discus then with my and explain any doughs i had about the problem but when i got older i would ask for her help and she explains my doughs and i would do the homework. Parents should Analyze the system of helping they use because that could affect there childrens learning.

ReplyDeleteI agree with der_lila_stern@xanga because some people learn the material (that’s the important point) with the help of others. Everybody have different ways to learn, you can explain and help your kid (and maybe they learn more than if they read or do the work alone with doubts) but the point is just help!!! not to do the work or give the answer. In this way is cheating. There are classes in which we help our children more than others. For example:mathematics, chemistry, physics. To teach our children responsibility and to develop skills of analysis we just let them unfold. When they need help, they will ask us. We must find ways to help our children to understand and also to learn, like says midge4ever@xanga, Ask questions that will get them thinking about what they need to do next.

o Burghess@xanga as this follower says, to me there’s no problem in parents helping out there kids as long as they don’t provide all the answers and or give them the answers. They should be a facilitator or helper in this case to solve the problems or answer the questions ask to do from school! If i was a parent i would like to help my kids in all i could, hey it’s a way to connect and or bond with our kids. So yes I’m pro on the helping and guiding but no doing their homework!
I don't think that parents help wen they help there kids do there homework. By other way I think that some times teacher give there student assigment taht little kids can't do by there owne. Wen I was in elementary school I had to do my owne homework because in my house were 4 childs and my mother was single and wasn't easy for her to help all four of us. But there are some parent that want to make the people belive that there childs are so brilliant by doing all the school work. I can't say that my mother never help me do some homework, but she help me to understand more my work and not her doing it for me.

I think that help child's with homework's isn't cheating. Helping is only with their difficulty and do that understand with their homework. When I was child I received help from my parents but isn't form doing all the works to have an excellent grade. I agree with kristinabean@xanga; is a great difference between helping and cheating. One thing is help and other thing is do something that is bad to get well.

I read tofloataway@xanga article about how parents try to help their child's. I understand that the parents want the best for their children. But helping them doing their homework isn't the best way to create them a spirit of responsibility. Why this happen?. Because the think that their child's are too much youngest or to many little to do homework. They can help but, given some tools to let them work by themselves. When I was a child I remember that my parents helped doing some homework, but with the pass of the time they let me alone. For that time I didn't understand why they let me alone, but now I said thank you because they teach how to do my own thing without waiting for somebody. That is the reason why aren't more independent children because most of them their parent's do their job. If you want that your child be a good professional let them learn by themselves but with supervision. The last article basically is that is true that parent's can help their children but not do all their homework. Therefore is responsibility of the parent's think and said I'm helping my son or daugther to cheating or just guiding them for a good future.
