I lost a lot of points due to not doing my home(busy)work. All my friends would have a backpack filled with books while I went home with whatever I carried my lunch in. I still got my B Sc. from UBC and I've moved up the food chain at a fast pace.
It always seemed like homework was a competition of who's parents did the best grade school work. Even at a young age, I found it pathetic to see this stuff brought in by these kids who obviously got their parents to do everything for them.
As for the parents in question, to me it sounds like they don't want to have their kids pester them for the answers, they want the kid and teacher to work it out so that they are truly learning the concepts in the manner that they are supposed to and putting more responsibility on the teacher and the student to become accountable rather than pass out grades on who has the most helpful parents.
