Please, do not insult the intelligence of the people in this newsgroup.

It is INCREDIBLY clear from your web site that you will do the homework
assignment for the student. The rationale is that the student is too busy
to do their own homework so you will do it for them.

Homework is how a student proves to the school that they understand the
concepts they have been taught. If you do their homework for them, they
are proving that you understand the concepts that have been taught.

Something I am wondering. Does your recent client Barrons Regents
(http://www.barronsregents.com/) know you are doing student's homework for
a fee? How do you think they will feel about this?

1) doing homework for students does a disservice to the student (they
don't learn from their mistakes), to their classmate (they will not be
fairly rewarded for their honest work) and to the school (the students
capabilities, or lack there of, will reflect on the school).

2) trying to convince us you are doing nothing wrong is an additional sin.
To say you are not helping student cheat is a lie. How can anyone using
your service trust that they will get an original assignment solution? You
are willing to help a student cheat and now you are trying to convince us
you are not doing so. I would not trust you.

Since you obviously have no sense of morality or fairness there is no
reason I could give you. You are the person who knocks on someone's door
at dinner time to sell them something 99% of the people will not buy just
because you do not care about disrupting their dinner. Making your sale to
1% of the people is more important.

Which is another thing people should consider before using your service.
You don't care enough about the rules of usenet. You do not care that you
are advancing your company at the cost of others. You are a spammer. You
will happily annoy 99% of the people in this newsgroup to get to the 1% of
the people who will be foolish enough to use your service. Why? Because
you want to make money. You don't want to help the student.

If ten students from my university decide to ask you to help them cheat.
What is easier for YOU. Write 10 different solutions to the assignment?
What if you can only figure out 3 different solutions? Are you going to
turn away the other seven students? I doubt it.

If you promised me a unique solution I would want a contract indicating
that you will code a solution for a problem and that I will own the source
code created. You will relinquich all rights to that source code to me. If
you wish to reuse the source code for any purpose you must obtain
permission from me in writing. Failure to do so will be punishable by one
hundred times the original contract fee.
