###Please replace "learning" with "knowledge-sharing" (or with something else that doesn't feel like obscuring that Stack Exchange is about questions and answers - say, "learning site community").

This Code of Conduct helps us build a learning knowledge-sharing community...

We’re committed to building a kind, collaborative learning knowledge-sharing community

I (and probably vast majority of site visitors) come here for help with our questions. We type our questions into web search which shows links to Stack Exchange pages where we can get answers we're looking for.

If our searches will start showing learning exercises instead of answers, that will be very disappointing. Quoting self, I don't want my search results polluted with useless solutions to homework dumps.


Besides above, please consider two relatively minor spelling changes to the text:

We created this Code of Conduct because it reinforces the respect our community members expects expect from one another. Also, having a this code provides us...


Also I would like to emphasize concerns regarding word "help" laid out in details in this answerthis answer. In order to address it, please consider replacing this word with "answer":

to get help answers...

to help others provide answers

Since answer referred above appeals to experience of two smaller and rather special sites in the network, it is worth pointing that folks at Stack Overflow appear to share similar concern:

The primary purpose is to build a repository of questions and answers. By its very nature, of course, that is going to help people, and that is the rationale behind creating the site... but it is not the rationale behind using it.

If you make the primary purpose "helping people" (with the implicit "at all costs" that goes along with it), and let "build a repository" be the secondary purpose, the secondary purpose is going to get forgotten and SO will devolve into a shitty Experts Exchange clone...
