Do you help your friends with their homework?

I do. My friends would do their work and ask me to check it for them before sending them out to their professors or teachers. I like doing this. It made me feel that they value my opinion when it comes to their homework. It's like I am editing their work before they submit it. For me, I ask my brother to edit my work first before I submit it to my teachers. As they say, "two heads are better than one". So having my borther check my work first is okay with me.

It is better if you let your child do it first and just help out when you see that he/she is really not able to do it.

Wow, thats really thoughtful of you to check their work for them...I do accept this but then i don't know if my friends would because i haven't tried it on them before...I don't know, maybe they don't like people looking at their work because they're insecure that their work wasn't good or something like that...But i don't judge my friend's work and i treat them as equals like me...=\

Yeah, there are people who don't like others looking into their work. I only look into my friends' work if they would ask me to do it. Otherwise, I don't do it because I don't want to appear like I'm being too forward or something.

I always help my friends with their homework. There are always hard questions that they ask me to help with. I don't mind helping because they learn.

That's good. I help them "learn" and not just rely on me for the answers.

Well, I don't want them to "copy" my work. I'd rather check their work at least that way, they put in some effort too.

I understand but sometimes, you just need someone to look into your work to double check what you've done.

I help them as much as I can, but they are helping me more, as I have a lot to do, and don't have enough time to do my homework at home.

Most of the time, we help out each other. If there are things that I can do and they can't, I help them out. If there are things that I can't do and they could, they help me out.
