text: Overall, students would be the ones who need this assigned project to maintain what they have learned and to prepare for next year. Even though there may be others who argue that summer is meant to be a break for students and that teachers are the ones who should be assigned to the project since it's their job and they must know what they should do for the next coming year. I can understand those counter claims but teachers could be able to plan out during a school year instead during summer because teachers also need a break. Even though summer is meant to be a break for students, it would drain their brain from what they have spent months learning and not be ready for the coming year. I know that students want to have a break with no assignments or projects, but with them they could be successful in the long run.Life is a marathon not a sprint; therefore, people can not take breaks from educating themselves, even in the summer. However, long, boring, and useless summer project persuade students to avoid the project; forcing life's marathon to become a sprint. Summer projects need a change and can be by students, because students know how long to make it, how to make it interesting, and what it must include.
