text: A student at SCHOOL_NAME.Should summer projects be teacher or student-designed? Some schools have summer projects to make sure the students are still learning over their summer break, but this sparks a question: should these projects be teacher-designed or student-designed? While most people will say that these should be student-designed projects, teacher-designed projects are the much better option because the teacher can base them off of materials for the following school year and teachers have more experience making projects than students.
