A younger sibling frequently seeks help for a subject you're good at for homework. Your help usually significantly improves their mark -- is there a point where you should stop so they earn their own marks or is it always best to help when you can?

I don't have any faith in the collective wisdom of forcing children to go to school and do homework, giving them marks, etc., so I think donating my time so that they don't have to go through that mental torture to get good marks is a generous and helpful thing to do, even if it means they never really learn the subject as well as they would have. Chances are they'll never need to know it anyway.
