Awhile ago, my 7th grade history teacher decided that it was time for a group project. My first insticnt was to work with some good friends of mine. EEHH! Wrong choice. They ended up leaving me with all the work and one of them didn't even show up half the time. Do not, I repeat do not, work with your good friends, they will leave you with the work. The other unfair thing is that they get the same grade as you on the project. This is the dumbest decision you can make when you're working in a group.
The kind of person that you want to work with if you have to work in a group, is a person with the same intellect and work ethic as you. That way neither of you will have to do all the work. Plus, the grade that you get will be the actual grade you both deserve. Last but not least, make sure that both you and your partner are both attending the class daily, that way noone will miss the assignment that was given that day. This is the smartest decision you can make when you're working in a group.

I agree with you, you should work with people that have the same intellect and work ethic as you.
