text: Schools should require teacher designed assinmnets over the summer to ready their students for the upcoming year. Most summer times are used for having fun and hanign with friends in a teenagers mindset. But as teens get older they are needed to be more responsible and act as young adults. My uncle had struggled with school through highschool wanting to succeed but could never. He had always turned things in late and procrastinated until the last second. Until he had to figure out that the adult life is coming around the corner, he had started to turn things in on time and get the good grades by teachers personally assigning him stuff to work on over the summer to help him get ready for the school year and showing that being responible and orgnaized will help you succeed through life. Teacher designed summer projects will help students prepare on how to be responsible and complete their work on time and not preocratinate until the last second and prove that being responsible and completing work on time will help them through life.
