text: Over the summer assignments are normally very boring and plain, for example, I had a summer project for physics this past summer and it was a fifteen page packet with generic conceptual questions and repetitive math problems. Every time I would continue the packet my eyes would glaze over and I felt as if I was falling asleep. It was extremely boring and I dreaded trying to finish it. If summer projects were student-designed then the students could make them to be more engaging and creative. The teacher's job is to teach and give the correct content so they shouldn't have to worry if the students will enjoy it. However, if the students were to create their own summer project then they wouldn't make it boring because they're the ones who have to complete it.
