text: In conclusion, teacher-designed projects prepare students and teachers for the upcoming year by introducing the qualities of the classroom environment such as: the work, expectations, and characteristics of individuals in the class. Students learn what the teachers expect of them and teachers learn what to expect about the students. Even though student input is very helpful in many situations and can improve methods of teaching, it is not required in this particular topic. It is in the best interest in all parties involved for teachers to create the projects the students have to complete. What kinds of things happen at your house? Is it loud or quiet? Is there a lot of people at home or almost no one? Some schools offer distance learning as an option for students to attend classes from home by way of online or video conferencing. While this may be helpful to some students at specific times, it is not beneficial for them. Students are children who are still in the process of learning and are still adapting to the world around them. Distance learning is not beneficial for students because they can be easily distracted at home, they could have electronic complications, and they could develop little to no social skills.
