School is the perfect place to learn new things from teachers that have extensive experience in their specific area of expertise. It is the teacher's and administration's job to help provide a well-rounded education for their students and part of that is assigning work that the students do not want to do. Summer projects are important so the students continue to use their brain and learn how to retain information. Teachers should design the projects because they know the material, have experience making lessons and projects, and the obvious fact that if it was student designed then the work would be almost non-existent.
