If students were honest about group projects 

I had a teacher who would put us in the same groups every time, and every time they would make me do all the work. So at the end of the year we had a group project, and I talked to my group and split up the work, and then I went over to my teacher and I said "here's how we split up the work. I would like to only be graded for my portion of the project." And she agreed. So I got an A, and the rest didn't even follow the directions.

this is soo true that it hurts. Gah, Elise really knows how to hit students' hearts 😂😭

I was always this person in group projects. As a teacher I always made sure that students had to put down who did what and they got individual scores because I know how unfair it feels if that is not the case. I also liked to play around with how I divided the groups. My favorite thing to do was, as soon as I knew a class well enough to know who did the work and who did not, put all the kids together that worked hard and put the worst slackers together. It was amazing to see the first group get to work right away and the latter group slowly realizing after 15 minutes that no one in the group was going to do the work for them and they actually had to go and start doing something themselves...

I always asked the teacher if I could be alone because I tended to be stuck doing everything. They generally obliged (thank God) but on the rare occasion I was with a group I always made sure I was with people I was familiar with, and we all had our individual sections to work on. I was usually the researcher because I knew how to find the best sources for whatever topic we were doing while everyone else would delegate who did which slides based on their various skill levels. All-and-all I'm happy I made it out of high school with pretty understanding teachers.

I've never had a group project go well. I think the one that hurt the most was the time one of the group members said, "I'll edit it all together!" She didn't show it to the rest of us before handing it in, so we didn't know what she'd done to our work until it was too late. My section, which didn't really need much (if any) editing in the first place, was reduced to incoherent garbage that I could barely recognize. It was horrifying and mortifying. It's been YEARS and I still cringe when I think about it.

As a highschool student I can definitely relate Like why do we all have to work together on everything ? Not everyone works or learns well in a group

Once I had to do a group presentation with two friends. One of them dropped out of the class pretty much right after we got the assignment so we ended up getting a girl in who had been sick when the groups were formed. She kept on spouting nonsense and telling us how much she knew about the subject while my friend and I did the work. We made it easy for her. I asked her to just send me her part as notes I would format it to fit in the presentation. She claimed she couldn't even open a PDF file. I asked her to give me her notes on paper. Presentation day came around and my friend was sick, but had sent me all her notes which were very comprehensive so I had no issue taking over her part. The other girl didn't show. no message, no notes, nothing. So there I was, a group of one. I presented. I actually did know the subject so I could at least give a basic rundown of her part, but I made it very clear that she had contributed nothing and the mostly empty slides spoke for themselves. Afterwards my teacher came up to me and asked if that girl had contributed in any way at all. I said no. She had to write an essay to make up for it, while I got an A.

This is so true. We had a playlist project that we did to represent a situation through songs. I chose ALL the songs, wrote the explanation on why I chose them, PRESENTED ON MY OWN, sat alone at my table while the others went around talking, etc. It was hell.

This video is 100% true. The only solution is to not stand out in class as the responsible/smart one. Otherwise, everyone relies on you and goes off to soccer practice or their part-time job at Baskin-Robbins.

I really wanna see her do a song when a teacher tells the student to answer a question when they didn't raise their hand

Whenever I had to do projects, I always wanted to do them by myself and my teachers always tried to convince me by saying, "It's gonna be more work if you don't partner with people" and I'm like, I'll take that chance. I'd rather go solo than have to rely on others.

If groups are randomly assigned, one person usually ends up doing everything while the others freeload. If people are allowed to choose their groups, the unpopular kids get stuck with the slackers and suffer because of them. The only solution here is for the teacher to wait until it's clear which students are trying to pass and which are slacking and then put the people who try in separate groups from the slackers. I wish more teachers would understand that.

Probably the most relatable thing you posted personally because when you do ALL the work and your partner doesn't even appreciate it...it hurts

Elise never fails to entertain us and still be relatable for almost everyone

I once had a math project with these two other girls, and we split up all the work and the times we would work together. I thought things were gonna go great. Then, neither of them would answer their phones when I tried to call them. So, out of the fear of failing, I did the whole thing myself. It was a good idea though, because neither of them came with their parts finished. "I was fishing," "I didn't know what to do," "I forgot about it." I turned it in without their names.

Once I was the only one who worked on the project while my group did nothing. All of the other groups were fine but mine wasn’t. My teacher quickly found out about me doing all the work but he already gave us all the max grade. Next time though, he changed things for the next group project. In the next group project, I was in a new group. He had us fill in a paper about who did what. Surprisingly, the people in my new group did a decent amount of work. I was shown the work of the people I worked with in the project before and, all I can say is: it… could have used some “improvements”. (It wasn’t good-) In conclusion, I’m happy about the change.

I actually did a group project a few weeks ago and it was great. We all pulled our own weight and I know I’m one of the lucky ones. C:

This is so relatable. For my degree we had a group assignment for one of the subjects. We had an individual assignment that had we were separately graded on which was making an academic poster. Our group assignment was to summarise all of our posters in the group. There were 5 of us in the group. I had someone in my group literally just send me her poster, saying that she was too sick to write a summary, so she didn’t contribute anything to the group assignment at all. The others sent me summaries of their posters that probably would have failed or barely passed, and also only a couple of days before it was due after originally saying they’d send it weeks earlier. I basically worked on it non-stop from when they finally sent me the work as I didn’t want my GPA to drop because of them. I sent it to them with hours to spare after basically getting no sleep to finish it, asked if they wanted to change anything to contribute, they all said no. I ended up getting us an extremely high grade and excellent feedback, and I never even got a thank you from any of them.

Just had one of these a few days ago. I got the classic group of adolescent males who play first person shooters the entire time. In a ten paragraph essay, where each paragraph had to be 10-15 sentences, I wrote all but TWO FREAKING SENTENCES. And those two sentences were so incoherent that I was stumbling over myself to get them to string together into something slightly grammatically correct when we presented. I ended up presenting more than anybody else as well of course, and being the only one who could put together a decent argument. All in all, I did actually have fun. I have a tendency to enjoy control and others relying on me. Still, when we got to rank our partners out of ten, you can guess that they didn't get a very high score.

Projects work so much better for me when I work alone, and the issue is people always want to work with me on every assignment because I get them a good grade. So I have to tell them what to write on their paper and wait for them to finish writing before I can continue or else they get mad. One person in my class literally ditched someone who wanted to work with them so they could work with me, and I’m over here like “please just let me do it alone pleaseee” but it’s to late now. Now I have to spend a lot of time making ice cream with them and we could just buy ice cream and mix it in 🤦🏼‍♀️. I’m so sick of school right now.

I hate group projects where we have to pick our group members because I'm always the one left out after everyone partners with their friends. But I've never had to do all the work myself, so that's a plus. Anyways, love the song and the ukulele!

I had a group project once with 3 other people and they all acted so different One kid went crazy on decorating and couldn’t stop with neons and not complimenting colors (Had to calm them down) Another just shut down and did research without consulting anybody else and it didn’t even fit with what we were doing And the last kid was just asking me what to do I had to control a lot of it because nobody else wanted to step up. I ended up being sick the day of the presentation and they told me that I “really needed to step up” and “it was very immature of you to ditch us after we did so much and you did so little”. I was mad.

Never seen anything more accurate in my life omg!! This literally happened all the time at college and uni. Makes me kinda glad it's all over now!

Every single time a group project was announced, and the teacher told us to choose our group members, everyone and I mean EVERY. ONE instantly looks at me. Of course, I ended up doing everything and they all got an A+ but I got a B- because they said I did ✨ n o t h i n g ✨

why is this too accurate 💀

when you are a rocket scientist and it still seems messed up... “And then I’m the nerd left alone” hit home way too hard

istg this is so true. we always have that one kid who's like omg I'm gonna grammar check or omg I'm gonna make the ppt look pretty, but they do nothing else. so all of a sudden I'm the one doing all the of the work because if I only do my part I wasn't gonna get a grade. there was this one time where we had to do 3 researches about planets or smth and it was SUPPOSED to be 3 researches for 3 people in one group and we all connect our ideas together, but I ended up doing everything because this one kid got apparently "sick" (she literally went to Disneyland??), and the other said they straight up didn't care if they got an F. so I get this mental breakdown in class bc no one was helping me.

I hate the fact that it happens even when I work on a group project with my actual friends. I know people have lives and stuff, so I always make sure to make time and everyone else is just making excuses. Or there was that one time when my friends wouldn’t do anything but chat between themselves, so I yelled at them because I couldn’t take it anymore and it actually required their participation. Well now one of them thinks I’m mean and it’s okay to hit me, and she said she’d do it until I’ll become “nice”. I swear to god, I’m so done.

Is nobody going to appreciate how the orthodontist kid slowly backed into a corner instead of walking out the door-

The 1:45 part is just so accurate that's basically describing my life

One time we had a group project where each class in that grade read a different book and we had to report on their similarities but my other teamates from the other two classes ditched me so I had to write a compare and contrast essay between 3 books that I never even read because my class wasn't assigned to them 😭😭

In group projects, I was often the one given barely any of the work, ideas that were almost always ignored or immediately dismissed (sometimes my ideas were way better, but they never listened to them well or long enough to put them into play), stuck recording the websites they found information, reading slides without necessarily understanding what they are talking about so not being able to explain them in more depth, copying the papers of different group members because they didn't want to explain anything so I could take my own... I took advantage of every time I could sneak being a group of one I could get.

my worst group project was an in class assignment in health (my least favourite subject). We had two lessons to work on a 10 slide powerpoint. I completed 3 of the slides before realising that the other 3 members of my group had spent the entire time just posing photos of random emojis and piles of *white powder*** on the first page. Made a duplicate of the powerpoint and finished it that night before handing it in making sure that the teacher knew it was personally mine. The morning it was due one of the girls came up to me and told me off for not finishing the group assignment. I told her that I simply forgot and she freaked out. She spent the entire morning rushing to finish it before class started.

Group projects online are even more of a nightmare.

This is incredibly relatable. The most rare thing in school is when you get a group that actually works well and creates a good project together.

The worst thing is when some people in your group do all the work and say that you’re not needed, and basically change everything you do when you do get to do something. And then the teacher gets mad at you for not doing anything.

The closest thing to me doing all the work was once, me and this boy were answering questions and needed to write, well I said a simple thing like, The main idea is that silk is pretty powerful, and soon we might see some new stuff that requires silk. He said I was too smart, and I had to write it for him while he talked to (the popular brats) other kids. Then we told our answers to the teacher, we had to raise are hand to like share, and he raised his hand. I don’t even think he knows what I said.

yess im loving this series lmao I've rewatched the others a thousand times already also congrats on 2mil!

I hate group projects because I always get sidelines by someone like this, even if I try to help, because both of us know ill make all our grades worse. I wish it was a group of 1 so the grades would be accurate.

I’ve had many terrible experiences with group projects 3rd grade. It was a group of 4 people, including me. Our project had to be 12 slides long split equally. I don’t remember the subject, but all I know is this caused be some emotional damage. We were supposed to get together for 30min per day for an entire week; which; if it was just me doing this it would’ve taken 2 days. Person 1: didn’t even come to school that week and on presentation day scolded ME for not doing his part (as I was the only one who had ever made an A in this group) I told him he could’ve logged into the school computer we’re aloud to take home and do the work but he said, “Are. You. DUMB??? I don’t have WIFI at home.” And I was like “you don’t need WiFi to get on google slides, and he was like “Bro shut up, girl” then grabbed my arm and shoved me onto the ground. Then during the presentation he said he had done his work and mine so I only got half the credit. And after he got our grades he smirked at me and said “I told you to shut up and you didn’t.” He waved the paper that said A- and I grabbed it and ripped it in half, threw it in the trash and smacked him on the arm. Person 2: he actually did quite a bit of work but it wasn’t detailed and it was sloppy. I ended up editing it but overall he deserved a B+. Person 3: was on vacation the entire time. Not even there on presentation day. P.s when I went to the principals office for smacking him on the arm I explained everything to him, he understood but he couldn’t change my grade, but I received a warning.

I hate group projects like can’t I just be In a group with myself I’m the only one who ever does anything

All the pain and frustration of a nerd in one song

I’m extremely introverted and my teachers knew this and I had a tough time talking to others and thrived alone, and I had some great teachers and they let me work alone.

What makes it worse is when the teacher says that they’ll fail the whole group if they find out only one person did the work, so you can’t even report your teammates because then you’ll fail right along with them

One thing I've learned as an adult... group projects are still like this. It's good training, depending on your job.

Now I'm the kid who does all the work, but in 5th grade, I was the complete opposite. I remember one time, we split the workload in the way that we would all choose a separate subtopic from one big topic to preform on (this would make most of everyone's separate grade depend on only their part of the project, so dw, I didn't ruin anyone else's grade). I did the bare minimum and didn't even fully follow the directions, but I still scored better than all of my group's other members because apparently I'm a good improviser and public speaker. Still cringe about that to this day, and still feel really bad for the other group members.

I just had a group project where we were supposed to build a bridge and I did all of the measurements and planning on paper by myself. Luckily my teacher walked by and said, “Ok, you did the planning, so I’ll give you full credit, the rest of you build the bridge.” I was never happier to be doing a group project.

I've only ever been in ONE group project that went well. We got a B+, but honestly, it was a far better experience than getting an A by myself.

One time my class had a group project and I was put with two people who bullied me all the time and a lazy guy who didn't want to do anything. While all the other groups gathered at different desks in the classroom my group decided not to do that so we were basically spread out in different corners of the room and I ended up having to run around to each of them to discuss how we would do things and relay their messages to each other while also having to worry about my own work. It was extra annoying because we had already split the project up into different sections and I had agreed to take the most work out of that. It was extremely stressful and honestly I think that I just ended up less cooperative after that because now I make special arrangements with my teachers to pretty much be on my own or with my best friend.

learning the art of influence without authority is something important in these situations. I myself relate to this tons back in middle school and freshman year of high-school as being "the gifted child" (really am not smart just am the only one who doesn't watch youtube, play snake, etc. in class) and would have all the work dumped on me by others. If they did help it was purposefully half-assed on their part so they could get away with the least amount of work. What you'll likely learn by doing things such as interning and community service is that not everyone is a leader and people tend to resent control freaks and like what they contribute to be praised. This was at least my experience (graduated from high school now) here. When taking a group, don't assert control. Instead try to observe your group members and bring up a common objective (in this case a grade) that all the students likely want. That will probably be enough to entice about 40% of the group as long as you make it clear that you only do your part of the project. Once you have those people at least promising to do a small portion I would suggest keeping tabs with them during classes to check on work (aka doing their job) and passively keeping them on task if not (people will resent someone who is too watchful so don't be obsessive.) For the remainder of the group there is not much I can say here, they likely are doing tiktoks in the corner all class after all. You'll almost certainly get nowhere and they'll manipulate you to do the work anyway with social status and blame placing (or getting friendly with you.) Best you can do with that type is optimistically getting them out of your group or to have contribution parts in the final grade as it's impossible to force them unless you have authority (which you don't and don't abuse your teacher to make them either, only makes it worse.) You'll learn in sales and business alike that those people are unavoidable but they aren't the ones who will have the most success in the future so you can at least cope with that. Just practicing basic management skills means you are doing great in the eyes of society.

Had a group project in 7th grade and we had this one kid in our group that either doesn’t show up to class or never did his part of the portion of the work. Our group was pretty pissed since we were in the same groups for around 3 projects and the same thing happened each time and we would have to do it for him. Ended up not giving him any credits at the end where we wrote who was responsible for each part. Our group leader told him off in front of the whole class and our teacher about him not doing his part of the work at the end of our presentation.

This encapsulates perfectly my experience with group work. You can't make someone else work, especially when you're also a student and therefore have absolutely no authority over them. It went astronomically better in college, because those who weren't interested in studies had taken a path that suit them better so everyone who was in class had an interest in academics.

I'm starting to think I'm the only one who actually had decent classmates in high school who knew how to work together as a group

I go to a PBL school where group projects are basically the backbone of our curriculum. We are all the kid who does all the work, so this is the only way for there to be an even spread

This song should be on Spotify immediately.

They never let you be in a group with your friends because they think you won’t do the work that way, Burt that’s really the only way we manage to split the work evenly

"Could I please be a group of 1?" The story of my life 😂

the "orthodontist" must be rich 🤣

I did a group project and I WAS THE ONLY ONE EVEN COOPERATING. Everyone was playing while I was thinking, and another time it was a disaster as well.. group projects are never good with people you cannot trust.

This is why my teachers always said if there's a group member not doing the work u just simply submit like -name- role: did nothing and the teacher just either gets them in trouble or gives them individual work. Life has been easy in my school and I'm thankful lol

I remember in the sixth grade our science teacher paired each of us with one to two other people and I was in a two person group and I was doing all the research and typing for the google slide so I relate to this and the girl I was with was using her class time on her phone hiding it from the teacher and on TikTok after school so I ended up doing most of the work and we both got a passing grade

Honestly why is this so true 😭 Not everyone trying to choose me for their group like maybe choose me to go with Starbucks with you instead?

Once I did a group project where one of our members said she would take our notes home with her and make copies for us (she took them before we could say no) and then she never made copies, conveniently kept forgetting to bring the notes back to school, never showed up for our group meetings, and we ended up redoing all of our work without her - she never did any of the work in the first place - as the pseudo leader of the group I ended up going to the teacher in tears because of the stress of having to REDO all our work and he ended up giving us an extension and failing that student. She was pissed at me for that.

okay can we all just agree that elise is such a good singer i can't--

I love the pattern on the new uke!!!!

Just found you, and this is very relatable. I guess I was very smart back then because one time I had to do all the work, then I vowed to myself to ALWAYS put contribution lists at the end and so I basically forced everyone to work. Some people failed because of me though.

so true. UGH. Last time i did a group presentation (4 people) and one of them are literal freeriders. I love how she had read my message on whatsapp reminding all group members to do it and did not respond at all. After 3 of us had done all the work, she only asked which part she had to read. i hate my life. She always does not have a team to be with so ends up being in my group cause my group doesn't have enough people. Funny thing is she has the audacity to post her going out and having fun on insta while we are doing all the work.

I once got a group project in school where it’s groups of three, mine was me, my bestie and the only girl that I hate in class. So we decide on drawing then me and my bestie are doing amazing… until we notice the other girl is doing nothing so I tell her draw the tire and it was damn ugly like it’s a circle with lines. So the next day she was absent and the day after that. But when it’s time for the presentation she shows up and ruined it completely

I remember when I was fourteen I did a group project that was really important because it was part of our final middle school exam. i was with one of my best friend and another girl who didn't have a group so we jjst said we were alright with another member. My friend did great as always, i did my part too and received an e-mail saying "I'm so sorry but my part got accidentally deleted, and I won't have time to do it again (it was at least a week before the presentation, and we gave her the easiest part), I would understand if you wanted to get me out of the project" , and I must say it was also written with a LOT OF mistakes. She was obviously trying to appeal because some people liked to think I was a nice nerd who helped people and all of that. So of course I awswered : "Okay I understand, good luck with your USB key and getting your files back, then I will erase your name from the project, have a nice day!" For a few years , I forgot she was part of it at first, and if you're curious, my friend and I both got a perfect mark in the two subjects concerned. We didn't even need to do her part since it was already quite useless in the entire presentation... Just to say, good luck people and don't be afraid of cosequences or whatever, don't let people use your work for their profit, eve if it ca be REALLY hard, at least be honest with them "yuo got a good mark, great, But I sure hope you're aware that you didn't do anything at all"

I remember doing an online school show, I got put in the group with the loud mic kids (: THE WHOLE ENTIRE TIME I HEARD VACUUM CLEANERS AND THE TV (We got no work done btw) ;D

100% In 4th grade, I did a group project, and I did literally all the work. Everyone was supposed to bring research, and like 3out of 7 did. Next, they all didn't want to do the ppt, so I got stuck to do it. My only condition was they get all their assigned topic's scripts to me by Friday, and no one did. I kept messaging everyone. So I had to do their parts the whole weekend, and no time to do the ppt. Normally so many people were online, but they were prob just ignoring me. I was basically harassing them when I kept spamming for their parts. Eventually, it's the day before, and still, like 2 people gave me their parts, and I literally had to re-write everything. My mom helped me out with the ppt, and one of my group mates actually got mad at me, id remember why, but I was super emotional, and I cried for 2 hours. I sent a loooooooong msg to the gc, I left, and whatever. When I got to school the next day, the grp members literally rushed towards me and asked about the project. I said it's done, and I came with printed parts of their script. I distributed it to everyone, and helped them memorize. Some people didn't bother, so I was really angry. I just told the teacher what happened, and I'm just sad bc 2 of them were nice to me b4.

I always hated group projects. And you summed up the reasons. Fortunately, my teachers also gave individual notes to each member of the group. And they actually allowed us to choose our own members. But even then I hated it.

I hate group projects.

Natalie always has something to say

As someone who has social anxiety, I hate group projects... *cries inside*

Now I feel so lucky because I've worked with nearly everybody in my class and all of them have somewhat contributed to the project. Even the people who usually produce little to no effort in writing/work.

This is why I always work by myself. The teacher chooses our groups and then the other kids don't do any work and I always end up doing all the work. :(

This is EXACTLY how group projects go for me

I always insist that my students' projects are handwritten, and there must be 5 different writing styles. This way, i can at least ensure that every kid did his bit on writing the stuff down. Also, the project must be presented by all 5 kids, this way making sure each of them made some research. This kinda solves the problem

Good Thing Is That In My Class We Aren't Lazy And We All Actually Listen And Help Each Others At Group Projects, I Told My Parents My Classmates Were Nice And Welcoming But The Only Reason I Wanna Change To Another School Next Year Is That I Don't Have Close Friends on The School I'm Attending This Point of Time.

If we all did all the work in group projects, how is that possible

The historical equivalent of this is the US taking all the credit for winning WWII yet forget about the efforts of its fellow Allies. Especially the Soviets

This is so true. When i was in 3rd grade I would do all the work when my teacher told us to work with our table partners! Whenever try table partner didn’t no something I told them but when I didn’t know something they never told me.

Honestly for me this is so true. In my world cultures class I always had to do all the work. I was so stressed out and over thinking Everythung I did for that class and not to mention my other class as well. Growing up I always was the one doing the work most people in the group I have are very naive. Then the kid that was sitting in front of me would always put his feet under my desk and I would have no room to put my feet down. I emailed my teacher and got moved and it was the best thing I could of done. I’m scared to ask for help in any way to me it makes me look weak but now I’m even stronger. Every time I look at them I give them a dirty look since I did all the work and now their not doing as good

*literally describes group projects in 3 minutes*

Ah this brings me back to 10th grade biology. There are two main projects that come to mind. One was in groups of two and I had to do the entire thing. The second was even bigger with groups of three, including said partner from before, whom once again did nothing, and the day or so before it was due I refused to do any more. So the final partner "finished" it before the end of the school day to my disbelief. I got home and checked it and realized he just made stuff up, didnt cite any reliable sources, and didnt follow directions. I was sooooo mad.

I remember one day I was sitting in a group, and the teacher told us to put a star by anything important. They all started arguing about how to draw a star. I got a c+ because no one else did work

Holy crap I can relate to poor Nathalie so much, I'm not the kind of person to take the lead on stuff but regardless I was the one to do most (if not all) of the work and even though I was shy and had social anxiety, I had to tell people what to do so they'd at least write what I'd researched...

One time it was 8 in the morning after I just pulled an all-nighter, and the professor announced group work, and I accidentally said out loud “I’d rather kill myself.” It was a very awkward class after that.

nice

I feel this on a personal level, it is so true!!! Like if you do all the work you are so stressed and your group members get an undeserved A. But if you only do your part you get an F. What I have learned to do is do my part, then talk to the teacher and they give me and A and my group members the grade they deserve for the amount of work they did.

this is so true! this one time i had my really big group work for PYP and it was the biggest work and highlight of the year... my teacher put me in a group with the sleepy friend, the never paying attention friend, and normal friend and i was the captain. The problem was my other normal friend has asthma so he would be in and out of school, so i had to do all the work for my group to subsitude for him and my other groupmates who when asked to do their portion never do it. one day we were asked to make a circle and the captians of all the groups would speak out their opinion about their groupmates, me being me i said honestly that my group was a mess, bcs my sleepy & never paying attention friend would always forget to do their work that i assigned them or get distracted in the middle of a group discussion which leads to them not knowing anything and i said that its hard to do all the work but i understand that my normal friend is in and out for a very good reason and he does all he can for the group whenever he is present, and a few of the groups had the same problems.

I've never had something this bad except it happened to for like the first time today. My partners went with another group and my other partner had a dentist appointment, no joke! 😢 worst if all it was really hard

Congrats on 2 mil!!

Honestly how it is. As someone who works better alone this is so true haha. I did have one teacher in high school though he knew that there was a student in my group who was making it hard for my friend and I(it was the three of us in the group) and he mentioned to me how he knew how hard we worked(we were doing it from a shared Google Doc and copied that information of the assignment to a new Doc and such. I'm not sure how he knew other than maybe she had not done work before or he saw how frustrating this girl was being), and so forth. I don't remember if he gave extra time but it was nice to see that he knew. He wasn't against when I decided to work alone either which I appreciated as well lol. Teachers should be like this more often. Always let you choose how you want to work at something. Anyway, sorry. This is long haha.

I’m always doing the work! I’ll call myself a nerd, I’m really good at school. This one girl sits by me at school just so she can copy of off me. I remember in one certain group project, we were all supposed to be doing different sections of the paper. I went ahead and did all of my paper, and every single person in the group told on me, then copied me, then when they failed, they blame me because they said I told them fake answer.

I once had a group project with 4 other ppl. One of them was my friend. We talked about who was gonna do which part of the essay and we all needed to make a reflection. We were all supposed to send our parts to my friend who was gonna put it all in one document at saturday. Person 1 had like two lines, but typed them in size 30 so it looked like something and didn't make a reflection. Person 2 CLEARLY got her one page from the internet and didn't make a reflection. Person 3 did nothing.. I sent my part of the project to my friend at saturday night, and told her that I was sorry for sending her my part of the essay and my reflection so late. She told me that I was the first one sending her something.. One day before the deadline the others emailed my friend their parts. We all got a C.... a C. The feedback was that the essay wasn't long enough and that some parts were missing. So now we all had a C, even though my friend and I basically did everything. Now have fun while reading the other stories, have a good day/ night👋

Whats really cool about my school's group project rating system is that, if you have evidence of doing all the work and doing all the things for the project, you get to choose the score for your group mates, I keep giving them 80 tho, (B for any Americans out there) but if they piss me off and I do all the work, Im gonna have a fun time as they get their paper rubric back with 0 on the score line, SOOOO NICE

1:20 I CANNOT TELL YOU HOW REAL THIS IS. LIKE WORD FOR WORD. COMPLETELY ACCURATE.

"We know I'm gonna do it all myself cause I'm obsessive, controlling and I don't want help" most relatable quote ever.
