text: So Personally I think every student and possibly teachers in our school should be required to take at least 10 hours of community service.Imagine. Summer is here, and the dreadful school year is finally over. You're prepared to grab your swimsuits and go to the beach and actually enjoy your time off from learning. However, your blissful period is interrupted with anguishing agony as you realize you were assigned a summer project to complete. We've all been there, mourning over the fact that we received one more assignment to do for school. We are reluctant to start the projects as they seem pointless and a form of busywork for us; however, summer projects are designed to assure continuous learning through engaging tasks. Although teacher-designed projects can be seen as desirable, summer projects should be student-designed as it helps foster creativity and self-reliance.
