text: Having the summer project teacher-designed gives the teacher the choice of educational topics for the project. Depending on the teacher, it can be on math, science, english, history, or any other subject that the student takes in school. This helps the student continue their learning from the previous year and keeps the topic school appropriate. The main point of schools doing this summer project is to further the learning of the student. While some people believe it's taking the freedom of choosing a topic, a student can chose anything which doesn't improve their learning. If a student chooses skateboarding, video games, sports, or food it defeats the purpose of the summer project. The teacher, however, can give many different topics to chose from which allows some freedom to the student. They can pick a topic that seems interesting, but also continues their learning for the school year that is coming ahead. Also, by letting teachers pick the topics that can be picked by the students, the students can teach the kids in the class about the learning they have learned. This gives other kids the opportunity to hear new educational topics and gives the teacher only to review over that unit. Having teachers base the topics more educational benefits the students, but as well as the teachers.
