[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 533763, member: 8831"] someone once had WONDERFUL words of wisdom here...maybe susie or marg... it was something along the lines that sometimes you have to weigh the value of the assignment and the weight it holds. if its a torturous 2 week assignment that will account for 10% of the grade, well, you might want to do what you can, but not stress and fight over it. if it holds 90% of the weight, well, you better start now, lol. obviously it would be the most important assignment of the year. odds are, its the first...so it might be well worth doing what he can, learning what he can, and taking the F for the team. (provided he's not in overall danger of failing) as with any difficult child, i actually wouldnt say [I]any[/I] of that in the presence of one. (i have mightily paraphrased anything anyone might have actually said, but that was the jist of it, and it was a life lesson that *I* learned here, so excuse me for any liberties taken--i'm not as eloquent as whomever originally said it) :bigsmile: [/QUOTE]
