text: I understand that a student-designed project could benefit in some people not learning, when a teacher designs it they know what's best and they know what will help the student continue to learn. Teacher-designed projects honestly can't be that bad but here is my argument for that. We spend nine months in school learning on a strict plan, waiting for summer to approach, waiting for the freedom of living with no teachers breathing down our backs. I say this because most of my friends feel the same way I do. I have been told many times that my friends are working so hard on their work and want to get that good grade, but they will turn it in and end up getting a bad grade because the teacher felt it wasn't enough for the prompt that they gave them.
