Before you start, I'm just going to say that Homework threads should not be banned. Why are Homework threads allowed on The Flood in the current state that they're always made? What I mean is, I understand that helping threads are good, but no one ever helps the OP in Homework threads. They just do the homework for the OP and offer no way of having the knowledge go through. They'll never learn if they don't do it themselves and no one on The Flood ever nudges the OP in the right direction so he can solve it on his own. All Homework threads I've seen have been Math questions where the OP just gets the answer and learns nothing from the experience. The way they're going, Homework threads aren't help threads, they're "Do the work for me" threads which doesn't help anyone and ultimately hinders the OP later. Once again, help threads are good, but why are Homework threads allowed in the current state they're in? [Edited on 01.06.2013 1:36 PM PST]
