In my first block class we were assigned a paper to write as a group. I was going to be in a group of three, with my best friend and some other girl, but three other people made their group official before we could, and i got split off by the teacher. I was paired with a really awkward girl. She never talks. Ever. At all.
So here i am, doing the paper by myself a day early. I figure i can say i thought it was due monday so i just did it myself. Not that it matters because i'd basically be doing it myself in class tomorrow anyway, except then the awkward girl would be taking credit for it too. I'm doing my homework early and lying about it so i dont have to deal with her.
1) How bad of a person does this make me?
2) Ever done something similar?

The teacher upset me by splitting me off form my group, and by making the project poorly, so i just decided to do it my way and avoid awkwardness. Which turned out to be the thing an asshat would do.[/quote]It happens to everyone. It's just a part of school. But seriously, you're kind of completely screwing her over. Whether she realizes she wants to have some kind of social interaction or not, you're robbing the experience from her (yeah, so why doesn't she just interact with other people? It's not always that easy and not everyone's good at it), and you're also not allowing her to learn and experience the work. It's one thing to be stuck with a group who doesn't care to participate, it's quite another to reject them. [Edited on 10.07.2012 9:08 PM PDT]
