re <<i wonder why she won't share with you.>>
- she does not want to be influenced on topics she believes she knows best, AND she does not want me to compare her against anyone - which i do not compare, but i do at times admire her work in public in her presence, inadvertently, and she really does not like that
- whilst the coconut likes to help others, but
- prefers to work on own even as dispensing help to others, that way her own work is to her satisfaction ONLY and is not compromised by collaboration
- so in math and science she has a harder time whenever forced to collaborate, as the other girls are not particularly adapt at math and sometimes also (physics) science and so not contributing to the solution, so she ends up carrying most of the weight, and the boys are either totally incapable thus just annoying, or able but nerdy, also problematic (earlier in life, at same age, there is definitely a gap between the brains of girls vs boys)
- she loves collaborative assignments in social studies as she finds the discussions helpful as opposed to be a waste of time
- she adores collaborative assignments in language art, as she essentially gets to take the lead and calls the shot, as if working on own. the boyz like to pair up w/ her because they note, "oh good, i am going to get an 'exceeding expectation' this time" |
