Exactly. Group think is called collaborative learning. It is a step child of cooperative learning. Yes, kids figure that out very quickly and do LESS when they have identified those that care. They rid the coat tails of those that care. It's LESS WORK for the teacher, parents are HAPPY because their kid gets a grade boost and the kid coasts along.
It's truly a crime that YOUNG kids are subjected to this. They are using collaborative learning in PRE SCHOOL now. They do NOT want strong INDIVIDUALS.
Maybe it’s not such a tragedy that children are being exposed to this scam at an early age - many of them will “get” it and become conservatives.
What you are describing is a Catch 22, as is most of Marxism. Those who get a free ride, whether it be with grades or welfare, soon are dissatisfied with what they are getting and demand more. Those who have been pulling the load soon either stop or move on to something else. Before long, those demanding more get less because there is no one to provide it. Then chaos occurs and that is what the Marxists are after, a revolution.
Marxists have no workable plan for governing but they have brilliant plans for destroying that which is working.
