text: Even though kids play a major factor in learning, so do teachers and you need to consider there opinions as well. During the summer, teachers have a break too and it shouldn't be spent grading projects that all have different concepts. When teachers provide a rubric with exactly what they want, all they have to do is check off boxes that see if the student had completed the requirements. Where as if a student was to come up with a completely out of the ordinary topic the teacher would have to spend a tedious amount of time grading different projects. Teachers want to be able to relax and enjoy the time off just as much as kids do.
