text: Families love to travel and get away from their home during the months their kids have off of school. Some families even leave the country. Teachers have no control over what their students do during break, but they do have control over what kind of summer projects to assign their students. Student-designed projects don't take away the enjoyment of summer break. The kids can travel, have fun, and still get a wonderful project done. Difficult and stressful summer assigments are unnecessary.
