Well, before I explain, I better give some background here: so I'm in a class called environmental science. Environmental science also happens to be my intended major for college
Anywho, I've spent 3 weeks in this class, and I realized that I have a great skill for it
Things just seem so obvious to me, and it comes so easy
I have one of the highest grades in the class so far, and I wirte the best lab reports.
Anywho, in this class, we do labs all the time. We fill out a worksheet while we're working on the lab, and then the next day we work on a typed lab report. The teacher is really strict, so she is a really harsh grader, and she marks us off for the stupidest things
Anywho, it became common knowledge in the class that I get the highest marks on my reports
The recognition is nice, but it's not cool when my group expects me to write the entire report ![]()
So since I'm doing well in the class, my teacher moved me to a group of two kids that are struggling. These two kids are nightmares
One of them freaking hates me for reasons I don't know, and she never wants to do anything
She messed up our first lab, and I had to spend over an hour trying to find her mistake and fix it
And then she turned around and blamed the whole mistake on me
*insert bad name her*
And during the lab yesterday, she went to her best friend's group, and told them some of our answers, and refused to help us with our report ![]()
Then the other kid tries to help, but he has no idea what he's doing
So when I tell him what to do and how to do it, he doesn't try, because he'd rather I do it
So back to the advice part: we had to write 2 lab reports today during class. I worked on the hardest and longest one, and I gave the other two kids the second and smallest to work on. They had no idea what to do, and they messed everything up
When I told them what they did wrong and how to fix it, they rolled their eyes and told me to forget about it
So I finished the first report, and turned it in, and told the teacher about how the second one wasn't done yet. She just smiled at me and told me I still had 10 mins to get it done. Well, I went back to my group, and they turned off their computers and were chatting!
They refused to get the report back up for me to work on, so I went back to the teacher and told her what went on, and she told me that I had until tomorrow afternoon to get the report turned in
SHE ACTUALLY TOLD ME TO WORK ON IT AT HOME!!!!!!!!!!!
BY MYSELF!!!!!! ![]()
So here's what I need help with: should I even bother to write our group name on the report? Should I just write my name and turn it in that way? And then should I talk to the teacher about getting a new group? These kids are failing, and I don't want them to think that they can get their grade up by copying off of me
I really can't stand them, and might hurt them if I'm forced to work with them another day
But I don't want the teacher to be upset with me...
I just don't know what to do....
Help please? ![]()
