I've realized that I haven't updated this story in, well, a while. So I'd like to make a brand new part, entitled: THE SLACKER.

We all know these kids. They're basically a teacher's worst nightmare. They never do their homework and are usually the kids who never bother to study for tests, but are the first ones to glance over at another kid's geometry assignment when they need some "help."

I've heard of kids who are slackers who still manage to get flawless grades. But the majority of the time, the kids who don't keep up with the latest assignments aren't exactly maintaining a 4.0 GPA. 

Besides all of that, these are usually the kids who you get assigned to work with in a group, and don't contribute anything at all. During the time you have in class to complete the project, they're probably just sitting around or talking to their friends, not at all focused. And heaven forbid they see everyone else in the group working diligently and go, "Can you hurry up?"

IF YOU DON'T GETCHO--

But I digress. The point is, this person is pretty lazy and relies on everyone else to carry them through their group project. To be frank, a hedgehog would probably be more useful than them. Actually, the hedgehog is preferred.

But alas, twas not to be.

Or when you assign everyone in the group homework so that you guys can stay on track. Pretty solid, right?

But then this kid shows up with nothing the next day, with no explanation as to why it's not done. Everyone else did their work and now we have to make it up in class and are behind. THANKS, SLACKER. 

(Unless of course something horrible happened in which case you're excused.)

And then there are the teachers who are no help whatsoever. Every time you tell them that the kid is dragging everyone else down, they tell you to take responsibility for that kid. Pardon me, but we've been trying to get Jimmy to do his part of the project for three days. HE. DOESN'T. LISTEN TO US. DO YOU HEAR ME?

So now this group of four has become a group of three with a member who is about as useful as a white crayon on white paper.

Hm. I guess this is how the athletic kids feel when people like me are assigned to their teams. 

"STOP SCREAMING! WHY ARE YOU SCARED OF THE BALL? PASS IT! PASS IT!!"

If so, I'm deeply sorry.
