text: I am a student and hopefully you reading this will be looking forward to this new way of learning.Students should be more in control of what they need to do in order to make sure they maintain the lessons they learned in school. Not all schools require summer projects, but for the ones that do students want to have more control. Students feel it should be their choice on how they will continue to keep there minds fresh over the summer. They want to be able to control their learning to make sure they understand what they need for the next year. Summer projects should be student-designed because it will give them more freedom, will let them do what they need, and will give them more responsibility.
