text: STUDENT_NAMEWhen I was in 9th and 10th grade, I had to do summer projects all the time. Even though I didn't want to do them, they helped me for the next year so my brain stayed fresh. However, doing it under the teachers rule felt like working in a factory, and it also felt like we weren't learning as much as we were just doing the project. I think that summer projects should be student designed because, it helps with the student's creativity level, puts less stress on the teachers, and allows the student to learn the best way possible.
