[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I always hated group projects for this reason. My son carried many a group project in our elementary school. He carried all of the lazy GT kids whose parents lobbied to get them into the program and then the kids could never do the work unless the parents were doing it or on them constantly. It comes back to bite them eventually. I used to tell my son to stop letting his friend be his partner. My son was so gullible, believing every lame excuse the kid came up with. The kid would even fake sick on days a project was due. Flash forward later---my kid is self-motived, several grade levels ahead in every subject. These other kids are still having their parents run interference.[/quote] In this case, DD is gifted tagged kid and the partner is really just not motivated. Doesn't want to go to college, just cooking school. Which is a fine life path. But it does set up a fundamental difference in effort on a joint project. [/quote]
