text: First of all, I think summer assignments should be created by the students because they know what they have learned, and what they still need help with. For example, if each student got to pick what they wanted their math assignment to be about, they could choose a topic in which they struggled so they could grasp a more firm understanding over the summer. This would be more beneficial than if the teacher made the assignment because it is specifically detailed to suit each individual student. The kids would be able to spend their time working on material that would help them, and not on stuff they already know.
