text: Projects that are student designed has many potential benefits for the students since it is a way for them to express there interest on certain topics, and a way for them to learn in a way that benefits them specifically.  In young adult life, such as the high school years, many students lack responsibility. This is because society does not put enough trust in teenagers to make their own choices and decisions; thus, stereotyping a whole generation with negative connotations. For this reason I believe that the summer projects should be student designed to help better their own generations reputation and develop valuable life skills.
