Please remember these things, especially #4:
1. This is a homework help website; please put your subject (math, science, English, or ??) in the subject line to make it faster for each teacher to find those questions in his/her areas. An even better subject heading would be more specific – such as FACTORING, SHAKESPEARE, PRONOUNS, CIVIL WAR.
In addition, “PLEASE HELP” or “HELP” is not a subject, no matter how many ASAPs or exclamation marks you put after it!
2. Please include in your post the answer or response you have come up with so far. Teachers here will not do your homework for you, but we are happy to point you in the right direction and give you feedback on your own thinking.
3. This is not a website on which to take polls or ask for votes on anything. Homework help only, please.
4. Please do not ask others about or post personal information anywhere on the Internet -- not your name, your email address, where you live, where you go to school, or anything. It's just not a smart or safe thing to do online.
5. The teachers here are all volunteers. Not everyone is online all the time. Please post your questions with plenty of time for answers; if you ask last-minute questions, you might be disappointed.
Thanks for using Jiskha Homework Help.

It is important to follow the guidelines mentioned above when using the Jiskha Homework Help website to ensure an efficient and safe experience. Here is the breakdown of each point:
1. Subject Line: When posting a question, make sure to include the subject of your question (math, science, English, etc.) in the subject line. This will help the teachers who specialize in those subjects easily identify and respond to your question. It is even better to be more specific in your subject line, such as mentioning the specific topic or concept you need help with.
2. Include Your Progress: When posting your question, also include any attempts or responses you have come up with so far. The teachers are here to guide and provide feedback on your own thinking process, but they will not do your homework for you. By including your progress, they can better understand what areas you are struggling with and provide appropriate assistance.
3. No Polls or Votes: Jiskha Homework Help is solely dedicated to providing assistance for academic homework. It is not a platform for conducting polls or requesting votes on any non-academic matters. Please keep your questions related to your homework or academic assignments.
4. Avoid Personal Information: For your safety and privacy, it is crucial not to ask others for personal information or post personal information, such as your name, email address, location, school, etc., anywhere on the internet. Revealing such information online can have consequences, so it is best to avoid sharing any personal details.
5. Be Patient: The teachers on Jiskha Homework Help are all volunteers, and they may not be online at all times. Therefore, it is advisable to post your questions with sufficient time for them to respond. If you ask last-minute questions, there is a chance that you might not receive an immediate response.
By adhering to these guidelines, you can make the most out of your experience on the Jiskha Homework Help website.
