Question

1.. A seventh-grade teacher divides his class into teams to research some history topics and report to the class. Each team consists of four students. One team presents a report that is excellent in substance. However, two members of the team behave childishly while making their contributions, so the overall presentation is flawed. The teacher lowers the team’s mark a full letter grade. Because the grade recorded for each team member is identical to the team grade, each member is penalized. Evaluate the action, and explaining your reasoning carefully

When you are working in a team,the team performance is based on each and every student. So it is the responsibility of every student to keep in mind about the other team mates and than prepare the presentation carefully.

It is not right to cut the marks of those students who have put all their efforts in this presentation. It is not right to punish all for the mistake of any single individual.
