Please remember these things:

1. This is a homework help website; please put your subject (math, science, English, or ??) in the subject line to make it faster for each teacher to find those questions in his/her areas. Even better is if you put your specific subject, such as "Algebra" or "Shakespeare" or "cell biology."

2. Please include in your post the answer or response you have come up with so far. Teachers here will not do your homework for you, but we are happy to point you in the right direction and give you feedback on your own thinking.

3. Please do not post personal information anywhere on the Internet -- not your name, your email address, where you live, or anything. It's just not a smart thing to do online.

4. The teachers here are all volunteers. Not everyone is online all the time. Please post your questions with plenty of time for answers; if you ask last-minute questions, you'll probably be disappointed.

Thanks for using Jiskha Homework Help.

...Do I have to be a teacher to help here?

No, you do not have to be a teacher to help on this platform. As long as you have the knowledge and ability to provide helpful and accurate information or guidance, you can contribute to answering questions. However, it is important to keep in mind the guidelines mentioned earlier, such as not doing someone's homework for them and not providing personal information.
