Is Helping A Child Do Homework Cheating?
Some parents feel that helping a child do homework is cheating, but much depends upon the circumstance, the degree of help, the age of the child, and the teacher’s expectation of child or parental involvement in the homework. Some homework, especially large projects, may require the help of the parent, and the teacher not only hopes but also expects that parents will assist their kids. At other times, helping a child do homework can be cheating, especially when “helping” is defined as the parent actually “doing” most of the homework.
