@Dottie, duly noted that there are disruptive girls and teacher pleasing boys. I guess that this is, in part, a rant on the group project. I know that she needs to work through some of these dynamics. She just seems to be having more problems with the boys right now. It also may be a function of the fact that she knows the girls better and may be more willing to speak her mind. I like the idea of trying to make the groups more self-selective. Right now she is subject to the dreaded "random group generator." Maybe DD would be willing to ask the teacher if they could occasionally pick their own groups for math. It's worth a try.
