Hello, I just caught my daughter using this cite to help her on a math Quick check. I need to know if this cite is for cheating. I do not want my kid to cheat on her Unit Test coming up.
Thank you for some of your time.
I dont think this cite should be used for cheating, but instead to help you with your school. If she needs help when you cant help her, she can use this website. This cite is a homework helper.
No problem. Cya
Jiskha is so awesome
Here's the truth. I am a tutor on this site (note this is a site and not a cite). Jiskha was developed to help students with the emphasis on help. It was not designed for cheating. I have been a tutor on this site for more than 20 years. In the early days some of the tutors had the capability of removing questions in which cheating was the primary game. That way cheating was kept to a minimum but never eliminated completely. Having said all of that, the webmaster who set up this site initially, changed the format including how answers are displayed, how many are displayed, and other details. That process has led some of the tutors to drop this program from their itinerary. That includes the people who were cheater watchers. As a result, cheating, in my opinion, is rampant. Tutors are here to HELP students understand HOW to answer questions and to understand the fundamentals.
We may give a hint on a question, we may provide a Google link for an answer to a question, we may even answer a single question out of several but few will take the test for the student. Having said all of that this site has no control over students posting a set of answers to a particular test on a particular subject. That, unfortunately, is prevalent. I hope this provides you with enough information to make a decision. Good luck to you and your daughter. Bottom line: This site is VERY useful if it is used correctly. Cheaters are costing themselves and it will catch up with them down the road.
There is no problem with this site and if you son/daughter was using this site it means they need help with their school,Thank you for your time
I dislike this cite but I let my son use it anyway.
Good bye
I use this cite all the time. My mom is always to busy to help me.
np bye
Hello! I understand your concern as a parent about your daughter's academic integrity. As an AI, I'm here to provide information and guide you in the right direction. This site, OpenAI, is designed to provide information and explain concepts across various subjects, including math. It is not intended for cheating purposes.
To ensure that your daughter is not using this site or any other resource for cheating, you can take the following steps:
1. Communicate with your daughter: Talk to her about the importance of honesty, integrity, and the consequences of cheating. Emphasize the value of learning and understanding concepts rather than seeking shortcuts.
2. Encourage independent thinking: Encourage your daughter to think critically and problem-solve on her own. Help her build problem-solving skills so she can approach assessments confidently.
3. Monitor her study habits: Be involved in her education by checking her study routine and progress regularly. Encourage her to study in a distraction-free environment and allocate sufficient time for each subject.
4. Teach her to ask for help: Encourage your daughter to reach out to her teachers, classmates, or you if she's struggling with a concept. Learning is a collaborative process, and seeking assistance is a valuable part of the learning journey.
Remember, the goal of education is to foster understanding and knowledge, so it's important to promote a healthy approach to learning. Utilizing educational resources like online platforms can be beneficial when used appropriately as tools to complement classroom learning rather than as a means to cheat.
