text: The first example is my brother, who went to school and towards the end, he was ready for school to be over. Once it was over he started to forget things that he's learned after not using it for anything over summer and so he used to have summer projects from his teachers, although he never felt like doing these projects, it would always help prepare him for the upcoming school year and strengthened up some of the areas that became weak overtime. Since then, when school started he was already ahead of some of the other kids in his class allowing him to have a easier time throughout the beginning of the year. Some may argue that student based projects can allow students to work at their own pace but do the same thing as if it was teacher based. However, If these summer projects were student-based it would really never get done because students like to spend their free time having fun and so students would procrastinate and never work on it till last minute in which wouldn't help them learn anything.
