CB>Any teacher that gives the whole group a group grade for "cooperative 
CB>learning" isn't teaching. It is very easy to make a check 
CB>list to monitor the groups and individuals in them. Any 
CB>teacher fully trained in the process of cooperative 
CB>learning would never give everyone in the group the same 
CB>grade unless the work and its quality were equal for each 
CB>person in the group. Also, each member of the group would
