text: When school lets out for the summer each year, the kids aren't worried about saving their textbooks or notes they've taken over the course of the semester. From the end of May, right up til the beginning of August, the majority of students are totally oblivious to the notion of learning. They just want to kick back and do practically nothing for those few months. As wonderful and naive as that sounds, our minds do require that we keep a little stimulation on them so they stay sharp. So rather than assigning month's worth of home-work, schools have come up with a way to keep our brains fresh, without putting so much stress on them that it causes anxiety. Projects are a more creative way to keep your knowledge in check. This way, students could spread out certain aspects of the project during the duration of summer.
