text: All throughout the year, and especially the summer, students have busy schedules that vary from kid to kid. Every person knows their schedule better than anyone else, which can be difficult when teachers are assigning work without knowing others' time constraints. The summer is full of many activities: camps, vacations, sports, etc. These planned events could possibly be a factor in the ability of a student to complete an assignment, which most likely will not be known by the teacher. When I did a virtual physical education class over the summer, we were required to send videos of our completed assignments every week. I went to Asia for a vacation for two weeks that summer, and it was very difficult for me to complete the videos when we were in another country with limits to what I could do. Also, the important life skill of time management could be grown through these projects. Students eventually need to learn how to deal with their own schedule, without much help or intervention from a teacher, which can only be done through individual practice. Another factor in completing a project is the availability of resources. One of the main reasons that school projects are possible for all kids is because of the general equality of materials. Having access to resources in school may be the only way that some students can complete certain assignments. By having a teacher force a specific project on a student, it would be unfair to those who are less privileged than others. For example, if a class was assigned to build a model rocket, some kids may be able to buy the best parts made of metal and plastic, while some may be limited to cardboard or other scrap materials. These projects would be graded the same way even with different capacities for success.
