Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : So a little lot of background. At this point in time I was moving between states (u.s.) with the new state I was moving to requiring a state test for each subject (only one test for a subject but it was spread out over three years). The school I recently went to had no such test so it's not like I was properly prepared. I had to take all the freshman tests (algebra and biology) which was a problem because the school I moved from didn't even teach biology until junior year (I was a freshman taking the junior level courses at my new school). So of course I failed the test (like super hard and they wouldn't exempt me from it or at least wait a year) so I had to take the remedial class for it! Yay!

The class was simple. It was just environmental science. Science might be my weakest subject but this class was the easiest class I was ever in.

The only problem with the class were the kids in it. Most of them had some ieps or we're just honestly stupid. The kids in this class were very annoying too. They acted like it wasn't worth their time and they were above it (most of them did drugs). The teacher was no charm either. So working with them was a pain.

The first group project comes around and we were forced to work with people around us (aka the people you sat with and seats were assigned) so boy oh boy. My group consisted of me, a girl I knew as a child who will be known as S (I lived in the area beforehand for like two years as a child), and this other girl who I swear couldn't tell the difference between a pen and pencil who will be known as L. The project was literally measure water and it's temperature and seeing if there was a difference between anything. I joke you not. That was it. The weird thing though is it was like 100 - 150 points. Homework was only like 20 - 25 so it was way more than double.

Note: (S had an IEP but that was for history and English and L was just stupid and didn't put effort into everything)

I couldn't get them to do anything. S wouldn't do anything other than sit on her phone snap chatting and texting her boyfriend. No matter what I told her she'd ignore me. L on the other hand was always on her school issued laptop (everyone had one and they sucked) on Skype chatting with her friends. When I told her to help she told me she didn't know what to do. It was measuring water and it's temperature. Not that hard. But I did give her the benefit of the doubt. I showed her what to do. Helped her do it. Then had her do it in front of me. Keep in mind this entire time she kept messaging her friends.

When I asked her to do her part of it (for a stupid project there were like five pages of shit to do) she told me she didn't know how and yada yada and kept refusing to do it saying "I don't know what to do". Taught her what to do. The teacher showed her what to do. Nothing.

So I go to my teacher (I already had everything done but still) and asked if I could switch to another group or do it by myself. His answer. "No. The groups are full and we don't have enough supplies." There were more empty groups then full groups and there was enough supplies (they had extra because we were working with glass and kids are stupid and drop glass). I asked if they'd get credit for the project even if they did nothing. And he told me that the everyone in the group would get the same grade.

So I didn't hand it in. It didn't really effect my grade considering I did the homework and classwork. But when the end of the marking period ruled around he came up to me and asked if I was going to turn it in. I asked if they were going to get credit for it. He said yes. He even went on to say how they'd benefit from it (aka they wouldn't be failing). So I outright said no. L had her friends corner me when I was leaving school and tried to force me into submitting it. Her friends were the really weird social outcasts that always smelt and not would talk about fucking Pokemon or something/one weird. In fact one even tried to stab and shoot up the school (in different years). I'm not popular in any way. My only friend was the longest time was my sister (I really didn't like the kids there) and I'm not even athletic so they probably thought if they teamed up on me they'd get me. I just laughed at them and walked away and reported it to the principal (who did something about the teacher but not the kids). S just called me a bitch more than once and made fun of the fact I stutter.

S eventually got pregnant and dropped out (all at the magical age of 15). I know a few of L's friends got arrested for threatening and attempting to shoot up and stab up the school. I passed the class with an A average.

This happened a few years ago and I recently told this story to a professor I train with and she called me essentially a bitch saying "I needed to give them a chance to pass yada yada it's my fault the one dropped out and the other got held back." I never felt bad for this. My mother even praised me saying while it wouldn't fly in a workplace I still did the right thing. Now I'm unsure if I did the right thing.

TDLR: group members wouldn't do work teacher wouldn't do anything. Group members called me names and threatened me for not turning in project that I did all the work for. School is shitty as always.
