Infographic: When is a Parent’s Help Cheating?

View Comments

• I think it depends a lot on grade level. A parent helping a child with homework, is, to a certain extent, also teaching the child how to do homework in general. How to check their work, how to proofread, instilling an importance of making sure everything is done right. Kids aren't going to automatically see the importance of homework and want to spend a lot of time on it -- that has to be taught.

  To me, at least, going over a spelling assignment with your first grader and saying "Is that how you spell that? What does it sound like when you say the word? Why don't we look it up?" is very different from going over AP bio homework with your high school senior (assuming you're a biology expert here) every day and making sure it's correct.

  When grades start really counting "in the real world" (high school?) is when parents should have backed off. Although, honestly, if every child had at least one parent who helped them with homework every to such an extent that it might border on "cheating," the world would probably be a much better place.

• Going to agree wholeheartedly on homework. It's supposed to be a learning tool. Major projects / term papers, etc are also things parents should be cautious and back off from before they get to the point of doing them for their kids

• I agree. Don't set them up for failure. You won't b there when they take a test.

• Some.parents give their kids all the answers because they want them to be perfect. But teachers are not stupid. They know the difference between students work and parents work, and if your kid performs well on certain tests. It's ok to help them get an answer but don't give of to them. It's cheating because your basically their ticket to laziness
