text: Student-based projects can be beneficial towards the school and the child in a few ways. When they go back to school, their brains won't be fully fresh coming off of the break because students were still learning. That can benefit the school because the teachers won't have too much trouble teaching the curriculum to the students since they were learning over the summer. Students can benefit from it also because they haven't completely or half-way forgotten everything they've learned. They could still have a fresh memory on the material going back into school and being able to apply it when the time comes. Projects being chosen by students can be beneficial in different aspects.
