[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I refuse to give group projects. It means I have to grade 4x as many submissions, but I don't feel right allowing any student to get marks for another student's ability/knowledge. Any assessment is individual, completed in class only so that mom/dad can't do it and Johnny can't have Jimmy do his work.[/quote] In English, [b]collaborative work is in the SOL framework[/b]. It’s a standard they’re supposed to cover. We do all the group work in class because they’re not large projects and this way we know the parents didn’t do and the kids have to have accountability for how they participated and showed up in their group. But it’s an important skill for them to learn. [/quote] I hope the poster who thinks it's about "kind" or "unkind" teachers reads this. A lot of people would be shocked by how little autonomy teachers in certain grades/subjects/districts have. [/quote]
