Oh please.  Quit your pearl clutching.  I’m sure that at some point you’ll come across one of those bratty kids and you’ll think the very same thing.  Doesn’t mean the kid will end up a bratty adult.  Or a terrible person.  But when your kid comes home complaining about the non-motivated kid in his group who not only does not contribute, but actively disrupts the rest of the group.... [b]you’ll think the same thing[/b].[/quote]

This happened to me, and I thought (and said), "Well, Kid, you're going to have to learn how to deal with this, and better sooner than later." [/quote]

Really?  You must have a pretty crappy job if your co-workers are unmotivated.  I guess I’m pretty fortunate because o have a job where unmotivated people don’t get very far and I don’t really have to deal with them.  I’m a scientist and pretty much everyone on my team pulls his/her weight.  Or else, they can be replaced.
That’s how many adults ‘deal with it’.  I certainly am not going to put in extra time and effort for an unmotivated co-worker.  Are you?

How do you suggest that your kid ‘deal with it’?  It’s a completely dynamic for an adult versus a child in a classroom.[/quote]
