At our new school the teacher has projects and you can choose to do it with a group or yourself. The teacher then sends home a paper where the parent must sign approval of the partner that their child is working with. ALSO, projects are being limited and pretty much done away with since the school admins have had this addressed in meetings. Students are busy, do not live near each other and have different schedules. When a child has an extra hour to work on a project they have an extra hour BUT you just cannot put that extra hour on a calendar in advance to get together with your partners.
On this past project my daughter did 95% of the work and group got the grade.
Last year at our old school she knew exactly who to be partners with and who NOT to be in a group with. It really frustrates her but I think it goes back to getting a poor grade and working hard in 5th grade.
I also never liked working in groups in school.
