In engineering we have to build a bridge, and I got partnered up with the most useless a$$hole in the intire class...
I basicly do everything, and when he does help, he screws everything up.
You see, we have a limited amount materials, and when he messes up a single angle, that takes away from our materials and makes it impossible to redo anything...
Currently, our bridge looks like shit.

Ok, rant post over...
I guess you can discuss Useless partners amoungest yourselves....
Well, the other people in my classes are all "stupid" except for one or two people, so I usually have to do everything. When they try to help they make it a little be less A+ worthy so I would just have to do everything.
Ack, don't even get me started! In most classes back when I was in elementary school, we were all split up into groups. And these groups were supposed to work together. Here's a sample of what most of our "group work" discussions consisted of. My real name has been replaced by Hyper. Teammate #1: Hyper, do this work. I don't get it. Teammate #2: Yeah, me neither. Hyper: I can't just do the work for you, you guys. Teammate #3: But Hyper, we're supposed to be working as a team! Teammate #2: Yeah, you can't just do nothing! Teammate #3: If you don't do this, I'm gonna tell the teacher! Gawd. =(
I remember in seventh grade we had to do a big project that lasted a week, and I was forced to be parterned up with someone I didn't like. She was absent for almost the entire week, and when she was at school she just talked to other people while I did everything.
my bio partner right now is from the Philippines and dosn't speak much english. So i do everything myself as he works on his English as a second language work... its not his fault tho, If I was an illegal immigrant i wouldn't care about biology either...
i care about all my grades. some more than others but never the less i try not to let any fall below a C and try hard to keep them Bs. A don't come easy for me.
I'd like to call myself relatively smart. This is great when in classes like Spanish, we have to do a memorized oral presentation (not that oral... what's wrong with you...) in front of the class, and the other person doesn't know ANY of the vocab.
yea there was this guy i had to do a research with and when the teachers were around he would pretend to do all the work... 3 days after the assignment was due he got this award... hate it when they do that
When I first read this i thought your meant a useless girl friend. On a serious note, all I get stuck with is useless partners. I get it doesnt help if your one of the smartest in the school though..
