Group Tries To Get Student To Write Paper Alone, Student Takes Revenge


Group work is the worst. Many of us have been in the middle of a situation where we are weighed down by having to carry classmates who refuse to pitch in on a project specifically designed to call upon everyone's efforts. Fortunately, this student had their wits about them and took just the kind of petty revenge that taught those lazy and entitled classmates a lesson. 

Check out another satisfying revenge tale with this student who did 60% of a group project, only to have the group try (and fail) to cut them out.

At this point it's worth noting that I had a hunch that the teacher liked me. It was hard to tell just because she didn't intonate while speaking but i had a feeling.

Text - I also wrote about how the group had made no progress because team #yoloswag refused to do any work and how they weren't capable of university level courses. All in all a 3 page rant on how irritated I was. The teacher received our memos and the next class she announced that she was splitting the grades into individual instead of grouped and was giving everyone feedback forms for their group members.
