text: Lastly, Summer is supposed to be fun! Having a teacher assign you a project to do over the summer is the last thing that any student wants. This makes them feel like all they have to do is busy work and cannot go out and enjoy their childhood. If the student at least gets to choose to do something that he or she likes, then it is way more likely that the student will actually choose to do that project. They will not feel like it's busy work, but an excuse to go do something that they love to do and share it at school next year.
