text: Teachers should also pick the summer projects because it teachers student how to follow directions and how to be independent. It helps students learn how to only rely on themselves and not anyone else because you can not ask the teacher for help. The student has to learn how to do it themselves which is a skill everyone needs, it also teaches students how to follow directions, teacher gives out a rubric and the students must follow the rubric to get a good grade. If each student designed their own project each project would be different which would be thought for the teacher to grade and come up with a rubric for.
