text: In conclusion, having the opportunity of doing community service can help you a lot. It can help you understand that maybe when you get older your community needs you. It also is a great experience to be able to do community service. Finally community service may let you know what you might want to do when you get older. This is why I feel like community is a very important part of a students education .Some school systems require hear students to finish projects over the summer. Simply to be sure that they are constantly learning and remaining information. This is a great idea, but how should this be executed? Should the projects be teacher or student designed? Giving the student the ability to create their project would encourage them to explore more in depth or maybe even new interests. Along with this this it would force the student to be creative, an otherwise lacking skill in Virginia school systems. On the other hand, having the projects be teacher made would make them more easy to asses. The summer projects should be student designed because, it allows the student to pursue their own interest, also it makes the student be creative; adversely, having them be teacher made would allow for the teacher to much easier asses the student.
