text: The goal of working on school projects over summer break is to ensure that the student mind stays sharp and focused for the coming school year. Given this goal, it makes sense that the people who will be teaching those students in the next year should be the ones designing these projects. If students designed their own projects for summer break, they could very well end up learning completely useless information when it comes to the curriculum for next year. With teachers designing these projects, students will be able to keep their work on task and be ready for the following year.
