text: Schools should require students to have teacher-designed projects to give the student good instructions and not be difficult with the assignment.             Summer projects are usually used to keep students engaged in the learning mindset while being out of school for a long period of time(Summer). It is a way for teachers and schools to remind students what they are expected to come to grips with, once the summer comes to an end. Students often times dread the idea of a summer assignment, but then find it to have been beneficial in the long run. It is only right that these summer projects are teacher-designed, because of how knowledgeable teachers are about the curriculum, what is expected to be learned in the upcoming school year, and what could happen if summer projects were student-based.
