[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No, I don't sit with her. I check on her to make sure she's not screwing around on her iPod.

Two of her teachers sometimes give bullshit homework, so if I have confirmed DD has the material down cold [b]Ill do it for her.[/b] Or, if she has a lot, sometimes I'll do the typing portion of it if it's online so it goes faster.

But mostly, she does it by herself.[/quote]

That's right - I do useless work for her. I rather she be doing gymnastics or running outside or skateboarding or playing with friends if she's not learning something from the work. [/quote]

I would rather that too, but I wouldn't do my kid's work for her. That's dishonest if she's turning the work in with her name written on the top of the paper. It's indisputably cheating. That's not something I'm willing to teach my kid is OK and not something I would participate in.

[b]I don't believe the ! You people are batshit ![/b]

Any family member will type up a paper for someone in a time crunch, but that's just typing out the already written rough draft not changing things or adding ideas, so we're totally comfortable with the ethics of that.[/quote][/quote]

What's wrong with the second post you quoted? Doing your kid's homework for them, no matter how stupid the assignment may be, is cheating.

I agree the first poster you quoted is nuts, but the second one was disagreeing with her.[/quote]
