First, you don’t want any slackers in the group. You were not put on
this
planet to do someone else’s work for them. If
someone consistently shows
up for the study group unprepared, ask the
person to leave the group. If
someone shows up and just wants to have fun
instead of work, dump the
person.
Next, you don’t want any moaners or complainers. You are there to
study, make the best of things and be
successful. You don’t need someone
around who just wants to gripe about the
teacher or the class or their life. If
you get stuck with one of these, stop inviting
the whiner. If you get asked
why, be kind but honest with your reasons and
maybe the person will learn a
good life’s lesson. People like this will
always succeed in just one thing:
pulling you down. Bad attitudes are
infectious. Misery does love company
and losers rub off! Always surround yourself
with students (and friends) who
have their sights set on success!
Now, to form a well-balanced study group, you’ll want to have a set of
students with a range of skill levels. If you
stink at math, it’s not a good idea to
find a study buddy by saying, “Hey, you stink
at math too? Oh good. Let’s
study together!” This is extremely common and
usually a complete disaster.
