I’ll start with some basic ones.

it might sound a bit redundant, but google usually points me to the answers i’m looking for. i’ve actually ‘helped’ people on here but simply cutting and pasting there question into the search-engine. really, it’s not that hard.

Thanks Gynan Tonix. Yes, one would think that if a person can type in help.com then they also know about google.com, yahoo.com, ask.com, search.com and so on. But I suppose listing major search engines isn’t a bad idea.
The worst ones are when they say; “Can you help me with math?” Like seriously, if you post a question as rediculous as that, then I’m not even gonna bother trying to help.
google.com
yahoo.com

Yes but then you actually know what fractals are.

Yeah I know I dont wanna sound big headed. I mean, when they just post saying help me with math or history or english. It’s like, well what level, what is you’re actua;l problem with it, why is it a problem? It’s like if you can’t even structure a question for us to know what’s going on, then you need more help than anyone here can give.

I saw a post simply titled : Explain the contrast of feelings between two poems by (authors name).
Im starting to think noone bothers to do their own work anymore. They could atleast give us the poems they are looking at. jeez.

Not to mention, do you want to rely on the answers of someone who’s broke, depressed, unemployed or trolling this site out of boredom?

Hahaha, yeah true. But then every question is like that. lol.
Lol. This reminds me, I had a homework rant like this a while ago called These days, “doing research” means, “asking Help.com”. After I find it, I’ll post it.
Oh. Here it is. Nevermind:
These days, “doing research” means, “asking Help.com”.
I’m getting sick of it. No, I’m not going to blow up the whole world because of this, mind you. I just felt like ranting about it. Why is it that so few people know to look at Google, Wikipedia, or Dictionary.com? Honestly, if you need to know what a word means, weren’t you ever taught what a dictionary is? Yes, some of these words are obscure, but the word “dictionary” is quite common, don’t you think? And biographical information… apparently, everyone has checked Google and Wiki, but for some reason, the links only show up when WE look. I’m getting tired of this. If you want everything handed to you, fine. If you expect me to do it for you, tough sh*t. HelpBot! I have a request! Please post the following message on any post containing the words, “definition”, “biography”, “history”, and/or “homework”. Ready? Here we go:
Problems with doing your own research?
Generally speaking, if you are having issues finding and/or using well-known research sites, it is best to check your spelling, or just give up and go to the library. Otherwise, these links can get you started:
Google.com, Wikipedia.com, Dictionary.com
If you are trying to access these services and they aren’t working for you, (even though they’re working for everyone else) we suggest you rent your brain to science. Immediately.
Note: I’m a robot that the Help.com staff created, and my response was written by the site’s resident dragon. If this response is in error, I apologize, but please keep it in mind anyway.
in such cases i occasionally give an answer that’s so obviously ridiculous, that anyone even remotely paying attention gets the fact that i’m kidding. and then i hope they copy/paste it into their homework…
Yeah Xeno that was the best homework rant ever.
Link them to Encyclopedia Dramatica. That should be fun.

Sooooo true! I love it! =D
=D Anytime. I’ve never bothered to help anyone that can’t do their own work- but it does get annoying seeing their posts all the time. Now that I can just send them this link, I figure it should be as helpful as can be. =)

haha! That is really funny. :) I’ll have to remember that one…
Looks like I got here too late; all of the really great helpful sites for students have already been provided.
Occasionally, I run into questions from worried PARENTS on how to help / motivate their kids to study. To that end, I found this site consisting mostly of helpful articles for those PARENTS:
Website homepage: http://math-and-reading-help-for-kids…
The articles within the above site provide helpful insights and aid to the PARENTS of school kids ranging from elementary school through college prep ages.

Just as a side-rant: I’ll gladly refer kids asking for homework help to this post … but I’m getting just a bit tired of reading those kinds of requests posted in text-like gibberish. If they’re seriously asking for help with this sort of topic, they should at least summon up the courtesy and respect to word their request in plain spoken English. Posts that read: “I nede sum HeLp cuZ teecher sez im falin n wel probly git xpeled soon” is getting a bit old for me. Good grief already, if they seriously can’t write better than that, I can only hope that they do get failing grades.

“In my day,” he says. I love it, Snar, that voice of wisdom echoing from the depths of your late teen years, haha.
In MY day, I’ll have you know, when there was no internet and the only computers were the size of tanks and had all the computing power of your typical lower-end digital watch, we had to go to the library. For those of you unfamiliar with the word, look it up on dictionary.com. It’s AKA the media center. AND we had to walk twenty miles through the snow (uphill both ways) to reach it, where we researched our projects with the help of a guy named Dewey.
I never had to ask for help. I knew everything already.
For your information I am well aware of Mr. Dewey and his system, though he and I are on very bad terms. Also…well…yeah…I cant defend much else >.>
You know what these kids need?
Librarian action figures.
With X-TREME “shushing” action!

Ah, but while wisdom increases the farther you get from the teen years (we hope), omniscience decreases steadily until the moments before you die, when the only things you know for sure are the simplest.

Librarians are the perfect action figure villain, all of them are frightening.

And, so, Xeno’s final words were: “Pants… and ham.”
One does wonder, when we have enough nanos blinking about in our craniums and memory is near inerrant, what we will learn.
Weeeeeellll….I’m a perpetual student, so I guess that I will need to reply to this post simply so that I can find it easier when I have research to do. :)
When this post has enough replies, you can paste all the links into one reply and we’ll mark it as a favorite. If enough of us do that we should be able to find it by finding your profile.

I know of a comedian named 2 Gryphon, and I like to check in on his stuff now and then. On his LiveJournal, recently, he had a post that kinda startled me. He’d gone in for heart surgery, and, while they did drug him up, he had to be awake for the whole thing. What wasn’t expected, was that due to his years of habitual drinking, the drugs only made him sort of fuzzy. So… he could remember everything as he died three times, and then lived to write about it.
I’ll have to link to that post later.
As a UK history teacher, take it from me, this is an amazing site. And not just for pupils, many a lesson of mine has been taught using resources from this site.

Oh, and you must try the ‘Fling The Teacher’ quiz, bloody marvellous. Win the history quiz (choose your topic) and you get to fling a teacher from a trebouchet. It doesn’t get much better than that.

Dah-da-dah-da-dah-da-dah-da, if I only had a brain!
Are you tired of people asking for homework help when they obviously haven’t made the effort to do a basic search for the answer? So, post your BEST homework resources here, then bookmark this post so you can easily point students here instead of wasting your time doing the work that they should be doing.
