text: Lastly, student-designed summer assignments would result in a relaxed, but still productive and educational summer that will help better prepare student's in the upcoming school year. Over the summer student's need time to just be kids and hang out, instead of stressing over a teacher-assigned project that is a overwhelming load of schoolwork. Working on your own time and choosing your own assignment is genius because you don't have to worry about anything or anyone else but yourself which would result is more summer assignment's being completed but not just completed but enjoyed being completed. Any teacher can force their kids to complete an assignment, but will the student's really enjoy learning over the summer on their own time compared to being forced to by a teacher. Student-assigned summer projects are the way to go in the future because we will definitely see better results especially going into the following school year.Uh, no. If this is true, then our principal is a moron. This is such a dumb idea! Sure most students have a C average grade. But that's still a passing grade! Some kids aren't as smart as others, but are better at sports than them by a mile! Sometimes, when someone is feeling stressed out, they'll go shoot hoops or kick a soccer ball around. Sometimes it's the only thing they can do to relieve stress! and if they can't do right after school with their friends, just because of one bad grade, that's lame. Maybe they have a C average because they got one bad grade on a test because they spaced out on it. Big deal! They can make it up in the next week or so. And besides, more scholarships are handed out for sports than for academics.
