[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Group projects suck, but they are one of the things school does that really truly does prepare you for adult professional life. You are going to have crappy coworkers that don't pull their weight at some point in your career, and you'll have to manage that and find a way to get the work done regardless. As others have said, hopefully the slacker gets their due eventually.[/quote]

This is so true.  I would say that group projects are one of the best lessons available in school.  They will learn that someone is going to carry a lot of the weight and how to cope with that.[/quote]

Ridiculous. You learn that lesson very rapidly and don't need to suffer several times a year, for all K-12 plus college.

I dont see what you can do about it really.  If you run to the teacher your DC does not learn how to solve issues.  Give the slacker the easiest things possible and produce the rest of it yourself or among the members that are interested.  It is such a common part of life.  Get some coping skills going.[/quote]

So sure this is life, but even adults in these experiences will often come home and stress to their partner about the slacker on the job and how much more difficult it makes life. Just because kids can learn coping skills this way doesn't mean it's the only or even best way to learn them. Or that it needs to be happening throughout the year repeatedly.[/quote]

It’s not when some of them are huge projects for few points.  [/quote]
