Aaaah - interpersonal dynamics - the root of most problems on most teams.
A team should be a team. A free exchange of ideas and talents to all who want to participate. Do not let a percieved barrier create a rift in your team. Most problems like this can be solved by talking them through. It could be just some misperceptions on everyones part. Talk to your teacher first - find out where she is and work through the issues. Communication is the key. My advice to all who post team issues here is to talk first and then reach out. Most of all do not let barriers stand in your way - find a way to work around them in a positive manner.
