text: Not only do summer assignments prepare students but they also prepare teachers by informing them about the upcoming students. The moment assignments are due, teachers instantaneously gain information about the characteristics of their students. They can see the work ethic within the quality of the work and the people who don't even attempt to do the work. They hear the procrastination in the excuses of those wishing to slide in late work. Therefore, it gives teachers an idea of who really cares about their classes and grades.
