I'm all for the general idea, but the current proposed text is a bit ambiguous.

As Shog9 put it, someone looking at this may think:

"Not all homework questions are allowed" ... ok; does that apply to my homework question? Naw, probably just other peoples'. Those guys homework questions are awful; they don't help me at all. Good job, site, disallowing those homework questions so folks can focus on mine!

Here's my proposed alternative:

If you wish to ask a homework question, be sure to include your work and highlight your conceptual confusion

A slightly better one (credit Shog9):

Include your work and highlight the concept confusing you when asking homework-related questions.

What say?
