text: Lastly, student-designed summer assignments allow students to be able to enjoy their summer. Everyone loves the summer, but despises the school year. The summer is meant to be a break period, a time of relaxation, vacation, and so much more. However, not many can shake the thought that always lingers in the back of their mind. Even with all this free time, there's still an entire report that needs to be typed, or book to be read, or whatever the case may be. One could be having the time of their life, but when that thought comes, everything goes down, and suddenly the mood has been changed. With student-designed assignments, this feeling won't be eliminated, but much more tolerable and controlled. A student will be able to enjoy doing the assignment, as they created it, while leaving extra time for other summer activities. This is important because not only is the student much more content, but they also have much better time management. To add, students being able to design assignments allows for free time. Many students have jobs during the summer, and without school being in the summer, hours can vary. Assignments designed by teachers are not friendly, nor beneficial to a student's personal schedule. This is another reason why student-designed assignments are so beneficial. Students could design a schedule that is flexible to their own, which leaves time for school, work, and other summer plans.
