text: Having these summer projects be teacher-designed, means that it will be a reliable project. For example, let's say it was a student-designed assignment. The student lay out their own assignment of what they learn during the summer in any format they want to put it as. Well, how does the teacher know if the source is reliable or not? Teachers dont know if any of the information is confirmed to be true. That is why having teachers lay out projects or assignments is necessary. Not just for the student, but as well as for the teacher.
