text: Another reason why the teachers should probably be designing the summer projects is because they know the appropriate amount of work to give the students and when to lay back. Most of the time students don't want to do a lot of work and that's very understandable, but a lot of times nine out of the ten would try do as least work as possible. For example, in eighth grade I had a history teacher that allowed the students to create their own study guides, so knowing how lazy most of them were, they did the least amount of work as possible. The following class, we had our test on certain events that happened during the great depression and most of the students either failed or got a low grade due to the lack of work and information we had on our study guides. From then on the class was required to complete the study guides that were made by the teacher.
