text: Making extracurricular activities mandatory is not a good choice. Children currently have 7 hours of school and they would not enjoy school being extended so it takes away their free time. Students would become uneducated as a result of mandatory activites. They would not continue attending school because of they would not find the activites enjoyable or entertaining, and the activities do not help students achieve academically.Summer projects are given to students so they can continue to learn and not fall behind in the coming school year. But would it help if the summer projects are created by teachers? Well yes, teachers have been teaching and making projects for a long time and they would know what they are doing. As a high school student I could prefer that my teacher makes the projects verse some student who not much of an expert on the topic. Summer projects should be teacher-designed because they have more experience, the project can be less confusing, and the project can give the student an insight of what the class will be like.
