[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC is a sophomore at TJ and seems to have a ton of partner / group projects this year. Is this typical for sophomore year or a change? It’s a big source of anxiety since a lot of the partners don’t do much work but it’s a group grade. [/quote] This is for your sophomore to work through. Life is about working with people. In jobs you have to work with other people on projects. [/quote] Indeed, the ability to collaborate with less skilled colleagues is a necessary life skill. Complaining to the teacher is futile; they can't be expected to remove the non-contributing student from the group. The best approach is to finish the project without relying on the slacking partner's contribution, yet be gracious and allow them to benefit from the group grade. Hiring for equity rather than job skill and expertise is a common practice in workplaces, and TJ admissions isn't all that different in this regard.[/quote]
