text: Another benefit of having teacher-designed summer projects is that they can prepare you for the upcoming year. Teachers know what one should expect for the coming years so they can properlly prepare you for what you should be seeing in the next school year. It does make sense that if a summer project was student- designed it would have a higher chance of getting finished, it would be do to the fact that students would make it easy and it'll cause them to not retain the information. So when teacher-designed summer project gets assigned you'll be forced to research what you will be learning so it can aid you with aquiring an understanding of what you'll be seeing later. This can make you better as a student and it can get your mind right and ready to start school.
