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 My real name has been replaced by Hyper.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. =(

Yes. I hate it, because you do all the work, and when you stop giving them all the answers, they get mad and cry to the teacher.

They've gotten a little better now that we're older.

Precisely.


Also; I, too, thought something bad about this thread from the title. Anyone have brain-safe soap?

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.

YES.

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.

I prefer solo projects, to be honest.

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..
