text: Although summer assignments are usually required and meant to be worked on over the course of the summer, many students push it off until the last week or just don't complete it at all because of how much they really dread doing the work. Many teenagers in general will do the things they enjoy until they absolutely have to do the things they don't want to do. If the summer project is on something they don't want to do, a large majority of students would push it off until late August to start, which defeats the purpose of having a summer assignment at all. If students were able to choose what they wanted to work on for their summer projects, they would be more encouraged and motivated to complete the assignment on time and work on it throughout the summer rather than waiting until the last minute.
