text: Teacher desinged summer projects are more benificial to a student learning because students are inherently lazy. Many students fail to realize the value of knowledge and instead, only seek short term staisfaction. Many students would rather watch tv then attempt to learn something new. Thus, many students when given the oppurtunity to desighn their own summer projects, will pick something that is inherently simplicitic and quick to complete. Often, what students fail to realize is that when something is inherently simplistic and easy to complete their is often litte to be gained from its complesion. Many students, myself included, often spend hours a day on social media looking at images or videos which are inherintly meaningless. Rather than reading a book or learning something new, we indulge ourselves, and seek out short term satisfaction. However, when a student is assigned a summer project designed by a teacher, they are forced to work hard to complete an assignment which is often desighned to challenge them. As an artist, when I am given specific peramideters and deadlness concerning a new project I am much more modivated to complete my work in a timely manner. This greatly parallels my behavior concerning my self assigned work which I often put off completing. Teacher designed projects force us to push past our limits which inturn forces us to think in creative ways ad learn something new. Teacher designed projects motivate students to achieve a greater undestanding.
