[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's important to approach situations where a group member isn't contributing their fair share with understanding and compassion. There could be various reasons why a student might struggle to fulfill their part in a group project. For instance, they could be dealing with personal challenges such as family issues, mental health struggles, or overwhelming academic pressure from other courses. These factors can significantly impact a student's ability to engage fully with group work, even if they have the best intentions.

While it's frustrating when someone doesn't contribute equally, it's also an opportunity for the other group members to demonstrate empathy and teamwork. In real-world scenarios, teams often encounter situations where the workload becomes uneven due to unforeseen circumstances. In such cases, it's not just about completing the task at hand, but also about supporting each other through difficulties. This moral responsibility to help out and ensure the group's success, even if it means temporarily taking on a bit more work, is a valuable aspect of teamwork and leadership.

This is far too kind for the AAP forum.  [/quote]

The TJ stress is on every student. When one slacks off, the entire team suffers and the grades plummet.[/quote]

TJ stress is more on kids who need help.  TJ curriculum is unnecessarily made hard for regular courses that are not AP or advanced.  Kids should not be needing to stress out to get an A in regular courses.   We were assured that if student is all A in middle school, they would have no problem getting through TJ courses.  [/quote]

It's OK to get a B. You don't have to be perfect at everything. [/quote]
B would have been great.  How can it be OK to get a C studying past midnight giving up on sleep, when most of DC's friends easily get an A while doing extracurriculars?[/quote]

Unless your DC is too far advanced in math so that there is space to drop back, maybe TJ just isn’t the best fit for them. It’s not for everyone. Not saying this to be mean. It’s awesome for my kid1 but I think would be a bad fit for my kid2. [/quote]
