text: Students often have a hard time finding motivation, even during the school year. They tend to procrastinate a lot, especially during the summer. Students may go on summer vacation or have plans with friends; whatever the reason may be, many do not think of summer assignments as a priority. Teachers also have summer break, which many people tend to forget. If summer assignments were student-designed, teachers would most likely have to do routine progress checks, because of the lack of motivation shown by students. This would be inconvenient for both the teacher and the student. Although summer assignments are not necessarily a main priority, they are still vital for the upcoming school year, especially if a student is taking an honors class.
