text: Schools should require teacher designed assinmnets over the summer to ready their students for the upcoming year. Even though many student believe they are mature enough to assign and design student based summer prjects, they do not know what is in store for them in the upcoming grade. My aunt had always been a straight A+ student athlete, getting great grades while playing a sport, she had also had a job working at a restraunt down the street from my grandparents house. She had always had an idea of what to expect, because of the mnay assignments he had been assigned to complete before the school year started. Many students go into the school year blind and have to figure a way out of the darkness, but if teachers create summer project for their students to complete, students will have an idea of what to expect from their teachers and the work load that carries over with them.
