text: Some people think summer assignments are better off in the hands of a teacher, because they believe teachers have more experience, and can provide the best preparation for the following year. For instance, you have a history teacher teaching world history, but towards the end of fourth quarter he gives you a large packet on US history to complete for a summer project. This shows that the specific teacher who was teaching world history, is trying to prepare the student the best he can, by providing him with a project with all the information he needs to know to succeed in a history class the following year.
