text: Schools should require teacher designed assinmnets over the summer to ready their students for the upcoming year. Many student will not have the right abilites to challenge themselves as hard as they should be, even though they are asked to design challenging student based summer projects. Most kids in school do not challenge themselves as academically as they should. Kids goof off until the last min until assignments have to be turned in late and asking for mercy to their teachers what can they do to get their grade up. Students are never up to challenge their academic capabilities and could not create student based summer projects. Students would try and find the easy way out. Teacher designed summer projects will help students prepare to be challenged through the upcoming years and work around the problem instead of trying to hit right through it.
