Group Projects Should be Outlawed!!!!


So i don't know about you guys but in college i hated the concept of group projects i never really understood...you get stuck in a group with 6 other people that you hardly know and most of the time you don't really like these people! They have differnet personalities and different ways of getting work accomplished...most of the time thier is one person that does all the work (slave driver) and the other lazy ones that agree to it (procrastinators)...and at the end of it all you learn nothing except that group projects are either easy because someone else does the work or dumb because you could of done this by yourself in your dorm and gotten a whole better grade! So i graduated college to think i had done my last group project only to find out that in Grad School their is a WHOLE SEMSTER CLASS on the concept of groups! oh happy day...this semster has been truly a challenge even though i have wonderful group we have all very different styles of working (which means we are all very strong leaders!) so try spending a hour in our group...thats right our group is like Jerry springer all the time. Its crazy because we all get along but we fight all the time its like love hate...So in my inspiration of doing some parts of my group project today...i decided to make a list of pros and cons to group work:

Group Work VS. My Work

1. You have other peoples opnions 1. My idea always wins

2. You have to talk alot 2. I can work silently

3. It takes forever to paste a picture to a board! 3. I can paste 30 pictures to a board

4. I don't have to drive to Africa to have a 15 minute 4. I don't have to have group meetings!

group meeting!

5. Your Grade depends on everyone in the group 5. I get the grade i deserve!


And this list can go on forever! So my suggestion Group Projects should be outlawed!

Baby Girl,

Guess what? Get used to it. These group projects are preparing you for your adult future.

You will have to work in groups at Church, work, school, society, family, etc...just keep learning and be teachable.

Also, treasure the opportunity and blessing you have to be earning you Master's degree. Many, many people aren't afforded that blessing. God will open doors for you to use your education and training to combat the enemy's attack on families.

Love you BIG!!

Dad XOXOXOXOXOXOXO!
