text: Lastly, student-designed summer projects should be incorporated within schools because summer is the slim part of the year where students are set free and where they should learn the skill of creating work by themselves and with no assistance. Throughout the entire school year, teachers are giving students specific instructions to work off of. While this has its purpose and usefulness in its own way, it is rather silly to continue this trend during the short part of the year where teachers are not present. This is also advantageous to the future of the students because as they progress in life, this helpful environment of the classroom will start to diminish and the ambition to work independently will be lost when they are set loose to the real world to work uninstructed.
