Why do people give the answers to student questions on lupus instead of encouraging the children to do their?

own homework? I understand a desire to raise awareness about lupus and to share information. But don't people realize they are not helping the questioners learn? The assignments are to teach them how to find and distill information. Giving them the answers, especially on a Sunday when the project is most likely due the next day, is a disservice to the students.

    It does, however it additionally teaches them accountability. Kids who pass searching or goal taking pictures commonly appreciate weapons and may not deal with them as toys. If Hollywood made extra historic-sort Westerns (possibly a brand new Davy Crockett film) and we had a Roy Rogers for our new release, college shootings might lower as youngsters will give up idolising internal town thugs who homicide persons and as a substitute comply with the cowboy manner: guard the vulnerable, be well mannered to ladies, paintings rough, and use violence simplest as a final motel

    My answer is more of an agreement to your comment on how a disservice it it to the student not to cultivate a habit of studying on their own. I think not encouraging them to be resourceful and dig for the right plan of action IE, (Dx,TX and care plan to follow) They become unproductive. School is busy work and some of us would rather be told a solution, rather than solve it themselves.

    You are so right and I agree with you and mister ed, pointing them in the right direction is OK, but just doing their homework for them, does not help them at all.
