Straight-A student refuses to do all the work on a group project for her lazy classmates, knowing her lowest grade will be dropped: 'You said do all the work or get a 0%. I choose 0%'

No one likes a group project, especially the person who ends up having to do all of the work.

This straight-A student had the unfortunate experience of being partnered up with the worst kids in her science class on a group project. After their first meeting, her classmates made it crystal clear to her that they would not be doing any work of their own and that she would be doing it all. They knew she wouldn't want to jeopardize getting a bad grade, so they essentially used her academic drive and work ethic to their advantage.

What they underestimated, however, was the fact that this student was tired of being manipulated by lazy slackers. This was not her first rodeo. She took the opportunity to double-check the syllabus and confirmed that for every student, their lowest grade in the class will be dropped from their final average. For the slackers, a failing grade would not make much of a difference. While it would make a huge difference for the student in theory, according to the policy as outlined in the syllabus, it actually would have no effect on her final grade in practice.

The student kept her knowledge of this technicality to herself all the way up until the day that the group project was due. When her group was meant to turn in their assignment, the author revealed to her teammates that, like them, she did zero percent of the work. Naturally, they were taken aback, but it's not like they could argue with her lack of effort. After all, she did just as much work as they did.
In the end, what they thought was going to be the easiest opportunity at a decent grade with minimal effort became a total embarrassment on their part!
“Do all the work yourself or get 0%”
