Group Work? No!

Many people today say that group work is a good thing but I,like others,think i is not a very good way to accomplish tasks.There are some benefits to working in groups but I think there are more reasons not to. Some of these reasons include the people in the groups themselves and their differences.

The first problem that I have with group work is that sometimes only one person does the work.This can be very irritating mostly because if you do all the work the other people in your group get the same credit for doing almost nothing.

The second reason is that sometimes you can not concentrate when you are trying to work.If the people around you are talking and being disruptive it can be really difficult to get some work done especially if you get into whats going on.

Lastly if your partners ARE working and doing something you may not agree with what they have to say.There is usually about only one or two disagreements but when you can not agree with anything it becomes frustrating  and  you feel like you just want to work alone.

These are the three main reasons why I believe that group work is not a good idea and that it should not be used.An example of someone who does not like group work is here.
