text: Schools have given summer breaks with the means of giving both teachers and students a rest. But due to such a large gap in between classes, students have often been observed to forget many things and therefore need lots of review at the beginning of school, which takes up lots of needed class time. If we spend lots of time reviewing at the beginning of each school year, the date for the end of school gets pushed farther into summer, therefore decreasing the amount of break. If students are given projects to design and complete over the summer, they will remember much more. Allowing students to design a project themselves gets them more involved with the material, thus causing them to learn more efficiently than in the classroom. When they are independent and outside of school, the willingness to complete a project would improve quite a bit, even if it is over their break. The end result of this would be that there would be less time taken up to review at the beginning of school, and new material would be presented much sooner, leading to an earlier end date for school, and, obviously, and longer summer break.
