My father loved reports in school and was good at it. He considered being teamed up against your will with do-nothings to be cheating on the teacher’s part. So I would alway be the captain for any group project and he would write the parts for the kids who didn’t turn anything in by the last night. That way I got the good grade I deserved and the do-nothings got a good grade that they didn’t deserve. The teachers eventually caught on that some of the kids were not doing their work, but never realized who WAS doing it.
I always enjoyed having such a study partner as Calvin, actually. I found a way to make it work. I’d turn in the finished report but it would be marked with two names on the cover sheet, followed by two sections; one with my name over the finished project and my partner’s name over an equal number of blank pages. (Of course, the star fullback of the football team beat the stuffings out of me once, so you could say I got double marks on that one.)

Calvin’s coping mechanisms would work great if he was taken prisoner by a foreign power.

I am really on Susie’s side here. Calvin is being a little s***. Ilove Calvin, but his behavior in this thread is terrible. I hope justice is served.

She needs to just forget about him, do the report herself, and save her grade.

Yes Calvin, there is intelligent life on this planet, but not the kind that can cope with you…
Quickly set the phaser to stun and get back to your spaceship!

I’m with Susie. Without Calvin doing any work then she will fail too. Right?

Calvin’s instinct is to shoot first and answer questions later.
