text: With the introduction of online learning, students in school or at home both receive great benefits that improve their educational experience. This happens through the process of giving students more time, keeping them in school, and relieving other schools of overcrowding. The arrival of summer taste sweet on any students' tongue. Schools must release their iron grips and taper off, if even for a few weeks. Many students find freedom and enjoyment in summer, as they no longer must face the impending doom of long tests and piles of homework. However, many are not entirely care-free. As the happiness of summer brings along another monster to slay. The dreaded summer project. Which of course teachers hand out like candy. No summer can be completely enjoyed without the idea of that beast breathing down backs. These projects are typically entirely teacher made. Which might be the main source of major discomfort. As they are often not very enjoyable or attractive too students, as the low turn in rates suggest. But there is a very simple solution to this issue. To increase the intended effects of these projects, both teachers and students should in fact partake in designing them. Both students and teachers should design summer projects so that out of school learning may be done more efficiently, the production of a well-balanced assignment is produced, and the shut off between learner and teacher is minimized.
