[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 468948, member: 6705"] I [I]despised[/I] group work. I can work in a 2-person team, being one of the two of course, but more than that and I shut down. There's always at least one person who wants to slide and not do any work; one (your daughter, me) who is more concerned with getting it done and per specifications; and when you get more than one of the former together, all goes to Hades in a hurry. In college - junior year - I had a class that assigned groups and we had to DO something for someone. One of the girls found a 1st grade class, so we were to have a Valentine's Party for them. I did decorations, got pizzas, got punch - careful with the allergy thing, even then - 15 years ago - got donations... One of the guys took his camera, but I had to get the film developed. The 3rd girl wrote everything up. 3 girls, 3 guys. Myself and the write-up girl did 95% of the work. And I remember her well. I remember the party. The kids loved it, I hated it. I was exhausted. The entire group got an A. Write-up and I were LIVID. [/QUOTE]
