and i thought our situation was bad....
we have about 20 people on our team, out of those 20, about 10 only come on mondays - the one day of the week they must show up. (i.e. minimal effort).
and it really hurts the team.
but on the rest of the week, i can mobilize the hardcore folks (seniors mainly, even though i'm a junior) to get some work done.
When the problem is this drastic, i suggest you go to the highest level - the principal.
tell him/her that you are trying to make this team works, but no one is helping. including the teachers.
ask him/her to announce that the team HAS to meet more, and if they dont that they fail the class or some similar punishment.
my hope is that after a while they will want to come......
