text: When given the freedom to design their own summer projects, students will be more interested in the topics, they will gain more knowledge, and they will produce a superb end product. If students are given the freedom of choice, then they will fully engage themselves and gain a deeper knowledge and a more personalized experience then if they were just forced into a specific topic. There is an ongoing debate regarding distance learning for students. Many people say distance learning is a better option for some students rather than being in regular school. Others say that students that do distance learning may play around at home and not complete their work. For some that might be the case, but not all students are like that. Some students need distance learning because it can make school work easier to understand, they won't get picked on by other students, and the school work won't pile up if they're sick and have to miss a few days.
