text: Teachers are expected to create quality projects for their students to complete, which are not full of busy work with no real meaning. Because teachers are both paid to design and teach curriculum to students, and enjoy the subject they teach, they are more likely to put time and effort into creating a meaningful summer project. Students, on the other hand, often do not share the teacher's passion for their subject, and have no motive for designing a good project. If a student's passion is math, but they have been told to design a summer project to prepare for the next year's English class, they are less likely to spend time on the project, because they do not enjoy it and have no interest in pursuing a career in English.
