text: overall if everybody started walking or jogging, and riding bikes instead of driving then it would help the air we breathe, it would cut down on car accidents, it would help with people who are overwieght and need excercise, cutting down on driving could help with alot of global problems happening in the world today. So next time you go to start your car, maybe just walk there or ride your bike.    Once that final bell rings on the last day of school, every student feels as if a weight has been lifted off their chest. The relief of not having to study for tests or complete homework for the next three months is pure bliss. Students start to feel the happiness of not having any more work but then the teacher hits them with a summer project and all that joy goes down the drain. Normal summer projects are either twenty page packets, book reports, or essays that must be completed before the next school year. Teachers plan and make the projects and most of them are boring and long. On the other hand, if the students made the summer projects then they could make them to be fun and entertaining. Student-designed summer projects would help assure that the work load would be manageable and would be on subjects the student need more practice with.
