The death of self-reliance. - Reader

Posted: Dec 15th, 2017 - 5:11 pm In Reply to: What has happened? - MT

It's a larger issue; one of the loss of self-reliance.

MT requires working independently. Evidently even it is not immune to the new "groupthink" that pervades our culture. Even in colleges now they require GROUP projects, and even some online courses require GROUP meetings. It's a ripoff because there will always be one person doing the heavy lifting saddled with a bunch of lazy people. It happened to me on 3 different occasions. The only B I ever made on any submission of any kind (test, quiz, paper, etc.) was on a GROUP project. I did all the work, and the rest skated (despite being assigned their portion to do).

Of course, the millennials are the worst.
