Pit your children against each other, it will teach them valuable lessons for group projects at university
Dread Pirate (Tom) Roberts@sortius My group project at uni was such a disaster...
One member quit in the first week. Another dumped some unusable code on us a few weeks before the deadline, then cut off communication. Two of the others were in a relationship when things started, but not by the end.
We scraped through because I basically faked an entire database, which was enough to fool the judges.
Distinction.
@troberts oh god, that sounds like my ex's final project. I had to go to meetings with her, sat in the corner, playing with my Palm Pilot, keeping my very strong opinions to myself. I think they all ended up turning in individual work
@sortius I actually think it's good that they force teamwork on people in uni. Because (at least in my experience) the real world demands you work in a team.
As messed up as my experience was, it was immensely valuable as a learning experience.
