Thinking of you sweetie... I hope the service goes well.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
So sorry, Gloomcookie!

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Oh, I HATE graded group work. I think group stuff is important, 'cause you can bounce ideas off each other, but someone always ends up getting screwed when you stick a grade in there
One of my more brutal childhood memories is in the eighth grade when I was doing a group project with two best friends who would get together and work on it without me. If that wasn't bad enough, the Mother of the one (and the Mother worked at the school) told the teacher and I should get a lower grade because I hadn't done anything. Meeting with him to defend my grade still stands as one of the more humiliating experiences of my life.

Often I regret having virtually no memory of school, but I suspect it is a good thing that I don't remember group projects. I remember a couple of group study sessions in college and they were a silly waste of time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Speaking as a former teacher, group projects are an important part of learning. Not great if the goal is the best grade with the most efficient amount of work (which it often is for the student), but good for teaching group dynamcs--to have kids practice negotiating, making clear arguments and defending them, assigning tasks, trying to motivate lazy students (and for some students to learn they can't coast along on charm), budgeting time, discovering their own strengths and others. Sometimes they don't work and often they are frustrating as hell for the students, but even that frustration can be educational.
