text: There are some students who don't work well in groups. Forcing that on them would just make them feel worse. Some children have horrible anxiety and working in groups can make them afraid. I know from experience that when children that suffer from anxiety have to do something they feel they can't they will have a panic attack. That is something that is very hard to deal with and when they go into that state you can't get them out, you just have to comfort them. That is why I personally think you shouldn't force kids into activities.
