text: During the summer many kids are either working at jobs to earn money or on vacation somewhere. This is where student designed summer projects benefit the most. Since most students know their schedules and what they're capable of, then that means they can design projects that are flexible enough to work around their schedules to help them complete the assignment. Nobody wants to be in Hawaii with family having fun and then remembering that you have to do an assignment when maybe it's the only time you get to relax. Schools assign the summer projects to assure that students continue learning over the break, allowing students to design the project would be a great way to get students to take interest in the assignment and have time to do it.
