176. I hate group projects. The extroverts simply take over and
your grade becomes dependent on whether or not they do a good job. My daughter had a group project in a high school class last year. The kids worked on it at my house. The two other girls took control and did what I felt was a marginal job. They didn't give my kid anything to do, even though she's an "A" student who could have made a big difference.

Recently in another class the teacher announced that the kids could "partner up" and write an essay together. The teacher was surprised when my daughter explained she'd rather work alone. She received a solid "A." So much for "help."
