I did all the work in my group project… should I tell my teacher?
So I’m taking a Spanish course and my teacher wanted us to make a Spanish event poster and to write out an advertisement for the poster. We could choose to work with a partner and I really do regret working with one. During projects, I’m usually that person to work by themselves even when they have lots of friends in the class but in this case it was different I guess. One of my closest friend doesn’t have many friends and she really doesn’t like working by herself or being independent in any way shape or form. Like I said, she’s one of my closest friends so I agreed to work with her in fear that she will became really upset. (the poster we were creating was on google slides and we would print it out) I didn’t think it was going to be all that bad until I started brainstorming ideas for the poster and she just nodded her head and stared at her freaking computer doing nothing. And I mean nothing. She didn’t even talk to me! I told her to do multiple things to the poster, she nodded and just continued to stare at her screen. The only thing she added was 3 words that I had to edit at home because it did not make any sense. It’s 11:40 right now and I just finished the poster all by myself while she’s having the best sleep of her life. Should I tell my teacher?
How can I ask my teacher if I can work by myself for a group project?
Ask after the class certainly.But you should *not* ask.Teachers assign group work so you gain experience working with groups. You will need that experience in life. You’re better off getting use to doing this now than you are getting fired by an employer when you request to not work with a group that employer assigned you to work with.I’m also extremely introverted, and I disdain group work. However, one reason I assign it specifically is to help other extremely introverted people develop the coping and experience to do what will eventually be asked of them in their future lives.
What do You think of my teacher's tool for creating groups?
I don't think I would use it. I often have to divide my students into groups for lab partnering, working on problem sets, etc. Sometimes I want particular students to work with each other so I assign partners, sometimes I want the groupings to be random so I have students pick numbers from a beaker, sometimes I have two students sharing a table work together, etc. It is not hard to do.
My orchestra teacher hates me?
She always give me a attitude and puts me in the back of the concert hall. I worked my but off for honors orchestra and she was choosing the members, she also chose all the orchestra groups for next year and she put me in a group with people she knows i absolutely can't stand, i don't know what i did or said but she's been treating me like this for quite a while, it makes me want to quit orchestra though i made a commitment that i wouldn't give up something i put so much effort and dedication into. Also i'm a bit jealous how she favors the people who take private lessons. I know the most songs, techniques, and notes than the rest of my class. What should i do? This August im moving to the 7th grade building at my district and at means a new teacher. Should i keep going? School is only going to last 2 1/2 more months till summer break.
How to deal with lazy group members?
So, I have this science assignment that we're supposed to do in a group of three, which the teacher chose. The other two members in my group are so lazy, they don't do anything. Whenever we have time in class to work on it, they just end up talking with other people, leaving me to do all of the work, and the teacher doesn't notice because he's working, and when he looks up, my group members pretend they've been working the whole time. And, like, I've put up with this before. But, most of the time, that person would at least try. But, my members just expect me to do all the work. Like, I yelled at them (which I hate doing) to start working, and they, seriously, said "No". And, yesterday, they told me to take it home to work on it, and I agreed, and today, they just demanded to know what I did. I couldn't work on it because I didn't have all the supplies at home, and I have other projects, but they just started yelling at me, like "Why didn't you do anything?" and I started yelling saying that it would be better if I had help. This project is worth a lot of my mark, and I need to get a good mark, because last term, I got a low mark in science, and I couldn't get the honour roll, like I usually did. I've been working my butt off the last week, and it's due on Monday. I'm afraid to tell the teacher because he's really unfair and said that if somebody in the group says that they did all the work, then "that's it". I don't know what that meant, exactly, but I'm still afraid. And, no matter how much I tell my group members to work (even when I say it nicely and calmly) they still don't do anything. What should I do?
Did your teacher ever do anything in class that shocked you?
When I was in standard 6th(around 11 years back), there was this maths teacher who was over friendly with girls. He used to give a set of questions for everyone to solve and then call each girl one by one with their bags. As usual the front benchers would get busy with the questions and the back benchers would start making noises. But as a teacher he wasn't bothered with the noise at all. He was just interested in the contents of the bag, of the girl he had called. He would start chatting up with her and start rummaging through the backpack. It was insanely weird.The year ended for us and we moved on to standard 7th. But this stupid act of his continued and we kept on hearing the stories from our juniors. This one time, he was delving in a girl's backpack and he found a sanitary napkin. He took it out and started asking questions about it. Now after being in a coed school, sex-ed is absolutely necessary which includes the knowledge about menstruation. But the syllabus weren't that generous for us Indians back then and because of not having a knowledge about this particular female atrocity, it was considered similar to a taboo. So every guy's attention is now drawn to the sanitary napkin and the girl is getting immensely embarrassed. When the class ended, all the guys started teasing her and giving her looks. This was too much to handle and she broke down crying and ran to the vice principal's office. She complained about the teacher.Later the teacher was confronted about his behaviour and he got very smug about it. He rebuffed it saying he is just trying to get to know the students better. Nevertheless, we don't know what the confrontation led to but we know it was quite severe because he didn't come to teach classes for a few days. When he returned, he was seething with anger, deducting marks in tests, and beating students on petty things.One day, the girl was a duty student for the class (one who stays back to look after the bags of other students during recess). The teacher came over, asked the other student to leave and latched the door from inside. Nobody knows what happened inside, but we know the girl wasn't physically harmed though she was scared. Later she changed schools, after finishing the year.This was the most shocking thing I have seen a teacher do.
Six of my friends are with me in the same class. If the teacher decided to divide our class that contains 40 students, into 10 groups randomly, what is the possibility of me having two of my friends with me in the same group?
Assumptions: the 10 groups are equal i.e. 4 in each groupThat at least two of your friends are in the group of 4 ie. You plus 2 or 3 friendsProbability that your group has 3 friends =6/39 x 5/38 x 4/37 = 20/9139 = 0.002188Probability that your group contains exactly two of your friends =6/39 x 5/38 x 33/37+33/39 X 6/38 X 5/37+6/39 x 33/38 x 5/37= (5 x 6 x 33 x 3) / (39 x 38 x37) = 2970/54834 = 0.0541635Add together 2 friends plus 3 friends probabilities0.056351 probabilityAs a percentage roughly 5.6% or 1 in 18
