text: Summer is also a time for the teachers to be given a break from school. During the school year, many teachers are working the five days during the week at the school, then grading over the weekends on their own time for no extra pay. Teachers embrace the long break and release of stress that comes with the hot air of summer just as much as the students do, and the last thing on their minds is the summer assignments they gave to all of their students. With many projects, especially ones as big as the ones given out for summer assignments, students need the support of their teachers to fully understand what they have to do, and with teachers out of action for the summer, they will have trouble understanding what is being assigned to them and may struggle completing the project. If students were able to choose what their project could be on, they would choose something that they understand better and wouldn't need the help and support of their teachers.
