text: Summer is known to be a time to have fun, relax, and be stress-free. Most television shows, movies, books, or any forms of media about summer do not talk about the importance of learning over the long break. As students in this generation are heavily influenced by the media, they do not think about school over the summer and believe that it is just a time to relax. If the task of designing a project is given to a student of this mindset, which is mostly every student these days, they will design a project that does not require much effort to complete. Their project will not challenge them in any way, and will consequently not exercise their brain properly. Thus, students should not be given the option to design their own summer project, as they will not learn as much as they should.
