You can’t always make someone do something, no matter how hard you try. There still seems to be those few who honestly couldn’t care less, unlike us good, genuine students. They don’t give a crap about what is going on and are just floating in the ocean, hoping that a wave will come push them to the shore.
Often times confused with being lazy, or even just plain stupid, a slacker is his or her own kind of issue. Someone who slacks off doesn’t just not do work . No- a slacker is so much worse than that. To be a slacker, one must be a perfect storm of all things “slacking”. That person who doesn’t do their part in a group project. Slacker. That person who takes charge of the group then sits back and watches everyone else slave away. Slacker. …show more content…
What it’s like to do literally all of the work, while you sit back and prop those disgusting, bare feet on my desk? I’ll tell you what it’s like: it’s the worst. Trust me. Staying up until the extremely late hour of 9 o’clock (it was late for third grade), I was forced to look up each event, find a picture, and draw a timeline. I can’t even draw! During class, when the teacher came over, while I was struggling, you were sitting back and relaxing. When she asked if I needed any help, I was so ready to say yes. You weren’t helping me. But no, you had to go and say, “I actually think we are good.” We. We? News flash! “We” includes you.
Of course, the non-slacker could wreck the slacker’s grade, simply with a few words. Or rather- leaving out a few words- the slacker’s name. No name? No grade? No credit? It would be more of a threat if they cared. Unfortunately, slackers just don’t care. They don’t care about their grade, they don’t care about the material, they don’t care about the fact that they’re dragging you down with them… they just don’t care (parallelism).
WIth all of this being said, a slacker isn’t necessarily a bad person- but no one would know because all a slacker does is ruin everyone’s lives and drag them down with …show more content…
Maybe a slacker has a reason, maybe they’re not actually a slacker but rather everyone else is just overdoing it or being a bit extra? Does not wanting to start work right away make you a slacker when the project is due in about a month? Nope, not a slacker. More like taking time into consideration.
Is it rude to work at an individual pace in a group project? Yeah, if their individual pace is not doing anything to the last minute, but if their pace is doing a little at a time rather than trying to cram all their work to be finished in a day, they’re not a slacker. So the other individuals in the project diss the other but in reality, those group partners are just playing right into the peer pressure dilemma that this world’s youth faces. They are just the problem. Mislabelling a group member, just because they don’t fit their own expectations or criteria, is wrong.
A slacker is different from a procrastinator. That’s because a slacker does the bare minimum, if anything. A procrastinator, still gets the work done, just crams into to the last day. That procrastinator would stay up hours until morning to finish their work, to achieve the standard of an A. Slackers would much rather place the work on others and leave it until someone else eventually does it, to avoid getting a bad
