text: While many negatives can include; abuse of lack of parameters, disregard of deadlines, and even failure to complete the project at all, there dwarf in comparison to the benefits students gain from working on a topic that excites and engages them. Many students, especially as they grow older and advance in grades, feel trapped and burdened by school mandated work. Believing it to be a chore rather an opportunity to learn as this work should be. Not only does owning the ability to choose ones project topic offer that taste of freedom students have been looking for, it gives schools a grasp of the creativity of their students: viewing what they can do without school assigned work and projects. In fact, many schools develop programs based on the specialized abilities students poses. In Generic_City, basketball superstar and community worker Lebron James recently opened up Generic_School, a school for young, talented athletes and artists, based not on monetary income, but on creativity shown by applying students. Furthermore, In Generic_City, Generic_School is a visual, auditory and creative arts school designed to develop attending students skills through art based classes. When applying, students are asked to either choose a piece that reflects the style of artwork they identify best with, or submit a portfolio of past pieces to be examined. Leaving much creative room to create a piece of the students choice. These two schools have discovered that the creativity and work ethic of a child cannot be measured in teacher mandated reading, math equations or projects, but in the imaginative, cognitive young mind of a student.
