text: The main reason summer projects are distributed, is to make sure students continue to learn even after school doors have shut. This is to ensure all students are adequately prepared upon returning back to school. If these summer projects were both student and teacher produced, the effects of the intended material would have a greater impact on students. This is for a very simple reason. Learning is simply easier when the material is "interesting" yet "enforced". By getting input from students, the material in these projects will be relevant to the interests of these very students. Getting input from teachers will allow this material to be shaped into something that can be learned from. This learning may not have to feel like learning. Just like the assignments will not have to feel like work. The reasoning behind summer projects can be better executed if both students and teachers can create it. Learning can also be very objective. Giving students the ability to say what they learn best from can give teachers the opportunity to create assignments that produce the most benefit.
