Summertime is a time for students to take a break from school. Taking a break, however, comes at a cost. During summer, students tend to forget things they learned in the past school year. This is why some schools require students to complete summer projects to assure students continue learning, even during summer. These projects should be student based because it can be used as incentive to work, gives students more options, and makes sure everyone can do them. When it comes to summertime learning, students should be in control. When students design their own projects, everybody wins.
