Helping a kid do some work doesn't mean doing it for him. It means steering him the right direction, giving feedback, giving perspective until the child is capable of doing it all on his own. Even for the SATs, the child will have help, for presumably most caring parents will assist with studying for the SATs and will buy coaching courses, books, or software. During college, there will be tutors, other kids, and professors to give guidance. During his later career, supervisors, colleagues, spouse, and employees may give help and direction. So helping a child does not fail to prepare him for real life.
For instance, my daughter, now 17 and accepted at a good private college, has a difficult essay to write. I could write it for her, but I won't. Instead we spent 20 minutes talking about it. The ideas will be hers. Later she'll come down and ask me if her work is making the right points and communicating what she intended. That's feedback.
This mom is doing the same thing. She may be collecting ideas, but ultimately the project will doubtless be the boy's.
I am not sure whether you are cheating for your daughter, but it seems clear to me that rooster is cheating. And not just helping the kid as a parent, but getting a slice of the FR community to cheat too. So, rooster is cheating at cheating. There is no point to parents doing a kid's homework. Why do you want to repeat high school? This is what's wrong with the country--so we have no right to complain when some journalist gets caught plagiarizing--it looks like some FR parents think that is just fine when their own kids are involved. In the end, it is all self-defeating, because all children will have to stand on their own at some point. Those that just did the damn work themselves will be stronger, smarter, and certainly more self-reliant than the cheaters.
