  Case: Student who likes to do work at home
You have assigned your students a group project and are allowing them to work on it in class. One group approaches you and expresses their concern that one of their group members is not working during the allotted class time on the project. This student consistently turns in work on time and has never failed to turn in an assignment. You approach the student and they claim that they like to do their work at home. How do you resolve this situation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Does the student do work in class when given a class assignment? Has he ever given you trouble when assigned class work. As a teacher, you are allowed to work with the students based on their needs. The student may feel overwhelmed and can't put much function into the work in that environment, and based on what you stated the student is responsible and does his work on time. So I say, why create a problem, but now you need to come on with an agreement between the student and his peers with a resolution so that all students are satisfied and on the same page. Assignment group work for the student to do at home and perhaps he could help the other students in other tasks while in class.

Comments: This is a solution I would agree with. There could be an underlying reason the student is not comfortable working in the group. Possibly helping with other tasks while in class sounds like a great option.

Comments: I think you're right. You don't want to create a problem because the student is getting their work done and turning it in on time. Coming up with an agreement between the students is a good idea.
