Should Students Be Forced To Work With Others?

Decent Essays
I believe students should not be forced to work with others. In my nine years of school experience there have been many times when I was forced to work with people I most certainly did not want to work with. I understand learning to work with people you don’t like is suppose to help when you get older like for jobs. What I do not understand is why we have to suffer for it.

You do your work and do it well because that is what is expected of you. This is what I stood by in my time as a precollege student. However, in a world where kids are taught from a young age not to do anything unless it benefits them, it makes complete since that without grades they would not do the work.…

    We shouldn’t be rolling our eyes if we’re stuck working with this person we don’t like. It’s not a really nice thing to do and plus you never know this kid could help you pass an assignment.

There is a time and a place for that, just not in the classroom.…

This is difficult to address when the incivility starts at the top of an organization and it breeds throughout the environment and it runs rampant.…
