text: The education system is ever changing. Due to teacher, parental, and most importantly student input. If students and teachers both created summer projects, these projects as a whole would become more versatile and defined. Often times, summer projects lose the interest of students way to quickly. The projects are also very tedious for teachers to grade. They lack certain components that enable them to be defined as completely beneficial. Having mixed input would allow these assignments to grow themselves. Students are very good at providing insight for educational change. Teachers are good at responding to this input. So when put together, a healthy system is produced. Perhaps a certain book seems rather large or uninteresting, this is where student input comes in. Maybe students find their particular assignment confusing or disposable. Teacher input could help produce a more meaningful assignment. A well balanced project is one that effectively engages minds, while keeping its core aspects in tact. These summer projects are also responsible for introducing new course material.
