text: To start with, I think letting the students design what they summer project should be on is a good idea. this gives them an chance to express their good wild thoughts and to prove to the teachers that they can do something on their own. However, what they choose needs to be mature and kid friendly. By giving students a chance to design their own summer project for school is expanding their learning ability which is great they may even learn a few interesting things. this is them being their own teacher and being mature they will grow and grow more and learn more over the summer so when school starts back they will already be ahead.
