No matter what group or pair she is in, she is not focused, talks too much, doesn't get anything done, and brings her group down with her. I have tried many types of groups and different pairs. What should I do? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) Some students may be too immature to work with others. Explain to her that she has to work alone until she is able to behave in a group.                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) No The suggested solution is relevant to the case No The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement No The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue No The suggested solution is original No Comments: I would not isolate her, that is one punishing her Rated On: October 17, 2016 1:18 am Rated By: ujyQeX                 Rating The suggested solution is respectful of the individual (student) Yes The suggested solution is relevant to the case Yes The suggested solution is reasonable (easy) for the teacher to implement Yes The suggested solution is likely to solve the problem/issue Yes The suggested solution is original Yes Comments: I would do this but I would clearly explain to her why she is not being allowed to work in a group so she understands what her goal is.

I think there are other ways to handle this situation without completely excluding her from group work. Group work can be very beneficial if you can get her to participate properly.

They may have a hard time focusing, but you should give every student the same opportunity to work in a group.
