However, there are people who never forget the problems on a summer assignment because writing it and doing the problem without cheating or giving up helps people remember the problems. Completing the summer assignment also helps people retain information for the following school year.

But having teacher-designed summer assignments helps students get the information they need to know for the following school year not just random information from several years ago.
