text: Every student looks forward to summer as a time to take a break from school, have fun with their family and other companions, and to simply relax. Assigning rugged and stressful projects for students to complete over their few months of relaxation could result in building stress and anxiety, which can lead to depression and things much worse. If students were to design their own projects and know exactly what they need to do and when they need to do it, they may not need to stress a great deal about the amount of time they have and about how much it will take away from their summer. This will ensure that high school students are still being high schoolers and having fun with friends and family. Some teachers could argue that they will stress about any project that they are assinged, but they have to understand that students know what they enjoy doing, and what they do not enjoy doing. Therefore, students could tailor their projects to be fun and stress free.
