Asked by Abigail Cheriman

Hi, I am new to Jiskha. May one of the tutors tell me what Jiskha is for? My daughter uses Jiskha, but I'm not sure if this is a safe site. Is Jiskha for kids cheeting? If so, I'll immediately tell my daughter to log off. Also is Ms. Sue a tutor? I'm wondering because she has an icon next to her name. Sorry for all the questions, but is there a way on this site to see the tutors in person or live? Thank you, Abigail Cheriman
Answered by Ms. Sue
First of all, I've been a Jiskha tutor for over 10 years. I retired from classroom teaching over 20 years agol

Jiskha was started many years ago for students to help other students with their homework. But now, although anyone can post here, most tutors are retired teachers and other professionals. Real and electronic monitors keep unsuitable posts off the board. Yes, Jiskha is safe.

Hi, welcome. Im a student. Yes, Me. Sue is a tutor. This site is not cheating. It helps sutdents and parents to boost their knowledge. I don't know if you can meet them in person. I'm also new. This is why Jiskha was created, to ask questions. Don't worry. Have a great day!

Im not a tutor but this is a place where you can come and get help for school if you dont understand and some ppl cheat but some ppl just check there answers and get help


hope you understand...
Answered by AJ L
As a new tutor, this is definitely a safe site to get help on problems. We like kids who come to us to provide us with their answers so we can check them and give explanations. Sometimes answers are posted for kids to cheat, but they are usually removed instantly if seen. As always, ask us any questions if you have any.

Hi. We welcome questions. I am a retired college prof. I've been helping on Jiskha since 2005. We don't condone cheating and we don't help cheaters. As Ms. Sue notes we remove answers that are posted to aid in cheating. All tutors on Jiskha are volunteers. We are anonymous just as the students are anonymous. We love to help and we like what we are doing.

Sometimes teachers aren't very helpful, like someone asks a question then they just send links instead on actually helping, sometimes the links do help but whats the point of this site if its going to send you to other sites. But a lot of the time teachers do help.
Answered by hey there
you should watch your daughter while shes on the site, because some students like to give answers to the whole quizzes and tests, and some come here for answers and not confirmation of their answers

I think this site is pretty 50 50. The tutors help people learn but not cheat whereas some of the students give out all the test answers. Obviously, when the answers are handed right to us we take them so I recommend watching your daughter on this site because she could be cheating (just like literally everyone on here :)) )
Answered by 50/50
It's somewhat of a safe site. People go here to check their homework but some people paste the answers
Answered by I dont cheat bro
I got you,

not everyone on connect cheats!! I use this only to check my answers and understand my faults
Answered by sophia the first
Ms. Sue did not die yall!!! She just got banned from being a tutor online for helping kids. this is just mean to be joking about someones death. not cool guys, not cool:(((
Answered by [Blank]
sophia the first, is this true?
Answered by ATOMIC
no it is not Mrs. sue passed away exactly as the others say there's a whole page of people mourning Mrs. sue on this site @sophia the first that wasn't very cool she lived a long and happy life tho and I'm happy for her she is probably still helping people but in different ways
Answered by longlivexxxtentacion
yea we be cheating
Answered by Dave
She may have passed, but did she die though?
Answered by E340
@Dave, if she passed then she’s dead.,,,

And to the person who asked this, I’d just watch her while she does her tests and homework, and then use this site to check her answers. I’d suggest using ones that have a lot of upvotes and positive comments, I’m a student who uses this site to check my answers with my mom looking at them while I do so.

Mrs. Sue, you will be dearly missed. Rest in peace Madam
Answered by wow people are still posting on this
Yes definitely for cheating.
Answered by Mariana
A couple of things to know about Jiskha:
Mrs. Sue sadly passed in November, 2019
Anyone with the person icon before their name is a tutor
If somebody is cheating, like requesting all of the answers or guilt-tripping people into giving them answers, the person will be banned from Jiskha.

Hope this helps!

It’s not necessarily cruel. Cruel is really mean. It’s disrespectful. People are trying to learn and it’s not ok. At. All. You should be banned.
Answered by Alexa
Not you, Lectronica, Pepe the frog.
Answered by RubberDuck
No, this is a free tutoring site where teachers and students can help each other, the site blocks bad words and you don't have an "account" per say. It's not really cheating.
