text: Although adults struggle with the same issue also, I would say all have better time managment skills than a child. That is a main reason why teachers should design projects and not students. Teachers would be able to set specific marks on their project so students don't get stressed out about how to do a huge project spaced out over a very long period of time. When teachers set specific due dates on a project, students tend to get better grades due to this facts. Keeping these issues in mind, summer is a time for relaxation and stress relief, so why shouldn't the students be able to do their projects at their own pace and not be forced to do a project that makes them feel like they are back in school. For that, I say the teacher can also set the due dates to make sure you remember the topics you learned over the summer in a way that a student-designed project cannot simply because of the teachers expertise because she is a teacher that went to school to become a teacher. These reasons taken into account, it's not hard to see that teacher-designed projects are more time-managment friendly than student-designed ones.
