text: Students should not design the summer project because their minds aren't fully developed. Teachers have fully developed minds, so they know what's in the best interest for their students. Some students may not think that teachers know what they are talking about, but most of the time teachers are correct. For example, my ninth grade year I had a summer project based on books from a specific list my teacher gave me. I did not want to read any of the books, because they were all old and I did not think I was going to like them. My teacher and me had a discussion about the books and she told me I would like any of them, but I did not believe her. I ended up picking out a book from the list and I really enjoyed it.
