text: In conclusion, summer projects should be designed by teachers. This would be more beneficial to both students and teachers. The teachers would be able to assign projects that are relevant to their lesson, relating their summer work to the unit they will be studying first, allowing them to be able to start learning as soon as they get back to school. During the months of summer break, the last thing that students want is the stress of a project. It would be much easier and less stressful if the teachers designed the project to reduce the amount of preparation needed from the students. The teachers would give the students clear guidelines, and then be able to help the students because they have a distinct idea of what they are looking for. Summer projects should be teacher-designed to insure the relevancy of the project, guarantee structured guidelines, and limit the unnecessary stress for students. Personally i agree with the principals decision to have all the students participate in at least one extracurricular activity. Depending on the activity chosen you could have a lot of fun doing these activities, can help you relax and focus, and help for a long term like trying to get a job or giving a better look to your self due to that extracurricular activity.
