text: Some people may still argue that students should be the ones to create their own summer projects because of reasons like, "It's their summer project, let them do what they want", or, "They should get to choose how they want to learn over the summer". While their may be some ground behind these claims, giving free choice to students like this is like giving a car to a child. They don't know what they are doing and it's just going to hurt them. These students could also rig the system in their favor and make it so easy that they don't need to learn anything, therefor, making the point of the summer project entirely pointless.
