Tough crowd here. But can’t say I disagree with the idea that the forum should not be the go-to resource for quick answers for homework. Maybe an advisory should be made available to teachers and students alike that this is not what the forum is for, with a few helpful suggestions for other resources.
Added: Providing information for newbies who might be interested in nature but perhaps can’t yet find their way around the internet, or don’t understand how research works, seems consistent with iNat goals (rather than “you kids stay off my Forum!”).
