Oh noes, GROUP PROJECT! The most terrifying thing in school for super and civilian alike.
The Actual Mr B’s class is studying Hunger Games right now and boy, did THAT turn out to be Thematically Appropriate.

I’m not sure which is more terrifying for them; The fact that they are assigned as partners, or the fact that it’s a group project…

Hunger games, and two kids who seemingly can’t stand each other. . .
If they started fighting each other would they get an ‘A’?

I tried to make a comment on the page and it all hung. I tried a refresh and it said I already put that comment.
But it is not showing here. . . -

You know in YA fiction, this set up would inevitably lead to romance.

OK so comments now more or less work, but you have to come back to see them.

You know this just might work, or there could be a murder-suicide.
Also I haven’t been able to post a comment for a couple of years now, so I really hope you got it fixed.

Given the themes of The Hunger games its kind of an apt thing for them to work on.
Clearly Break would be pro the Capitol since they have turned punishing all those who once rebelled into a tradition believing its the only way to go to stop the people rebelling again(Once a villain always a villain) and I suppose Tim gets to play the protagonist/the oppressed peoples who are more interested in getting on with their lives and know that fighting back as the capitol expects will lead to a phyrric victory at best but are getting continually pushed to do so because of the capitols obsession with the past.

Or I suppose it could be a story about two kids doing a class project together. Can’t wait to find out!

Real life Hunger Games – team member who survives gets the A.

Group projects are cruel and unusual punishment.

I really hope this will work as a means to fix things with them. Sometimes I feel that he really needs a positive person in his life that understands being powered. (Super intellect is a power) Once they work through their issues maybe they can be friends. That’s my hope at least.

Also yeah group projects are the work of the devil!The only time they were ever good for me was when i could team up with friends cause even my laziest friends would put in more effort than all the idiots I got forcibly stuck with most of the time lol.

I hated group projects because I was a shy, awkward kid with no friends. The only time I remember having one where one person was a COMPLETE dud was in culinary school for my cost control class.
We knew he was a dud from the get go, and was already failing the class. So when it was time for him to send me his portion (the least amount of work we could give him) and it was half missing and all unusable, it wasn’t a surprise that I had to do it all over again. Fortunately, that teacher had a mechanism built in to deal with it. Every person in the group graded every OTHER person on their contributions, so he knew who did what.

School was not one of my strong points. Partly because there was nothing to be done to alter my grades. Don’t do homework? Fail. Do homework? Shamed in front of class by same teacher.
Home Ec. had group projects on cooking. I did all the cooking and cleaning up the work space and dishes while the other three discussed random things. I would fail and they got passing marks. Then the teacher would ask why I had no enthusiasm for any projects.
So yeah I can see group projects as living hell. -

Here we have a teacher who has watched too many movies, grew up watching shows like “Saved by the Bell”, and is going to teach these two children who obviously dislike each other a beeaauutiful lesson about tolerance!
Part of me wants this story arc to end when one of these two hands this teacher the severed head of the other, and just walks away. “Thanks for teaching us a lesson, Teach.”
