Homework and cheating... (Score 2)

I think that using the internet and using the resources on it is _not_ cheating. People are just as great a resource as some web page. Granted, people shouldn't spoon feed the answers to anyone researching a topic, especially for a school project. But what is the difference between asking a clued group of people about a topic, and looking up the sites or books about the subject? As long as the guy gathers his information and comes to his own conclusions and ideas; and presents them in a manner appropriate, people can be just as good a resource as anyone else.
