text: Experience is the key to a lot of things in life. Like becoming a teacher, it is the experience that genuinely makes someone a teacher. Therefor, summer projects for students should always be teacher-designed because teachers know the best for what should be assigned for students to complete. They would know what is too hard for them to complete, and certainly, what is too easy. With teachers being in charge of designing the projects, students will be more familiar with the process of completing the projects because they have been assigned projects and tasks from teachers all year long. Also, after many researching and studying, in 2015, researchers came up with the conclusion that the students that were assigned projects designed by teachers, were much more prepared for the upcoming school year, than the students that worked on the student-designed projects.
