[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My son (graduating this year) had and IEP all throughout his school career and group projects were always a burden, and he was always the slowest and the one who contributed least. We couldn't do very much about it.

But here's the perspective of my neurotypical and take-charge 7th grade daughter: she does NOT mind having such a lab partner, because then it means she has more control over the finished project and she knows she can usually do a better job than most students (I know, cocky). She says: "Oh good, I was paired with Charles, who is just like (brother), and so I asked him if he could do this small thing, and I'd do the rest." Bossy, but it's a win-win.[/quote]
It is not a win win - as Charles may actually WANT to do the Lab.[/quote]

This. Charles deserves the opportunity to do more tasks. He should be paired with someone else who needs extended time.[/quote]

Ok—but if the student is in a regular group and drags it down —the group likely will (and should) take over that aspect. This isn’t simply a team building experience. The other students’ grades are on the line. [/quote]
