text: School projects scheduled for summer should be designed by the teacher because it keeps students on track with retaining knowledge. Most times, students learn in class and forget what they learn as soon as it hits June, since they are ready for summer break. It is vital for certain classes, that students are to remain an understanding of what they learned in school, for the summer, to bring into the next school year. If teachers were to design projects, students will know exactly what is key material and necessary, significant information they need to retain in order to be succesful for upcoming classes. Although, if students were to design their own summer project, then they would build independent and creativity skills. But at the same time, students directing their own project risk getting the the wrong idea and not grasping the main purpose and drive.
