text: Teachers have the best intentions when it comes to teaching, and giving out summer projects only means that they want students to continue learning outside of the classroom. Students are not going to be happy about it, this causes them to not want to the project over summer and when school comes back around they will say "they forgot" because for one, they don't want to do it and two, it may not be a topic they like or are interested in. Although, if students could pick what they want to do it will encourage them to do a topic of their choosing. This could lead to them becoming passionate about what they doing their project on and giving it their all.
