text: Some may say that teachers assign to much and that if students were to design the summer projects it would be better to fit into their summer schedules, but I believe if students were given that opportunity they would try to do the least and easiest amount of work. Yes, students may have things like jobs, internships or may simply be out of the country, which could make it difficult to complete teacher designed projects; but lets be honest, many kids put there summer projects off until last minute. I am guilty of this myself. When something is done last minute it is probably not gonna be that well dont, but on top of that the students are allowed to do there own thing, which could lead to many students doing the bare minimum. If each student were at liberty to do their projects as they see fit it would give him or her the liberty to put little effort into the project and not actually retain the needed information that was intended to get to them. Student designed summer projects gives students the chance to give mediocre projects and to learn unnecessary information.
