text: My first reason on why summer projects should be student-designed is that it allows the student to be more involved in what there learning. For example if a student receives a summer project from he or she's teacher it's highly likely that the project will be focused on everything that the student has learned before the summer. But what if the student dose not need to learn everything what if they only need to focus on certain thing that they are struggling with that's why I believe that student-designed projects would benefit students better; because it give them the opertuntitie to create a project that can focus on things that they are struggling with and improve upon it.
