text: The first reason why summer projects should be teacher-designed is that the teachers will make the projects challenging for the students. Making the projects challenging can help a student use their brain at a high level. My teachers would always make my summer projects pretty difficult and it would take me many days to finish the whole thing. The teachers want to make it challenging for the students because they want students to get use to the environment of the school. Some might argue that making the projects challenging can give students a hard time. However, students need to be challenged because if they don't, they will have trouble finishing assignments from school. This reason shows that projects should be teacher-designed because if it were decided by the students, they would try to make it as simple as possible.
