text: Teachers are more knowledgeable in making summer projects. For example, a Chemistry teacher would know to create a project that specifically fits Chemistry like requiring their students to make a chart of all the elements and compounds. If a student were given the right to make their own summer project and told just to do something Chemistry related, it's likely that they wouldn't be doing something as useful as creating a chart for Chemistry. This is because students just aren't familiar with creating projects that will help them in the long run. Teachers have the most experience in creating summer projects as they have been doing them for a long time and they know what works and what doesn't work. Therefore, teachers should create summer projects because they know what kinds of projects are efficient.
