Why does nobody admit that group projects in school actually prepare you for real life?
Honestly, I used to hate group projects with a burning passion. Back in my junior year at a high school in Sacramento, my teacher assigned us a big history presentation worth 30 percent of our grade. I got stuck with three kids who did nothing. One guy literally slept in class while we worked. I ended up doing the whole thing myself at 2am the night before, and I was furious. But here's the thing. Last week at my job, I had to work with a team of five people on a client pitch. Two of them barely contributed. I remembered that history project and realized school was actually teaching me how to deal with lazy people, how to step up when others drop the ball, and how to not lose my cool. Everyone complains about group projects like they are useless, but ngl, that mess prepared me more than any solo test ever did. Has anyone else had a group project horror story that actually taught them something useful later on?
