[QUOTE="Wiped Out, post: 468808, member: 1631"] I do use a lot of group work in my classroom (however, the grades are not tied to it-always hated that when I was in school). The teacher should be spending more time modeling with the group or develop a new group if needed. It isn't fair to expect your daughter to pull the group along or to expect her to have to write a punishment because of her group. Most of my kids do really well in group work (we use them in science and also for reading on a regular basis and there are times I use them in other areas as well). It really is valuable for students. I often have groups that can work independently and rarely stop talking about the book (but I'm in a book club myself and we don't stick to the book so I understand a bit of off track time). With the groups that need more guidance I'm there to help. If needs to be I change groups or at times if there is someone who just can't handle it and is bringing the group down then I find an alternative for them. [/QUOTE]
