text: Teachers should not allow students to design their own projects over the summer because if a student designs the project they would not know what to do and be unorganized, it's more efficient for the teacher to assign and grade, and finally teachers can assign you topics you have already went over in class. However, some may not agree on this position. Some points to take in consideration are that not all students will like the topic and may not know a lot on that specific that's assigned.
