text: First, I think the projects should be student designed because some students will not have much time during the summer. By this I mean some students will be working all summer to save as much money as possible to say buy a car or save for after high school. If the projects were teacher designed they would include a lot of work that would take a lot of time, time in which some people may not have. If it were student designed the student could complete it at his or her own pace as well as the work they have completed whether it is a little or a lot. I also think teachers should stop feeling bad for the people that choose not to do work. Most of my teachers often give the kids that choose not to do work a second chance to gain points, which I think should be stopped as well. If they choose not to do the work then that is on them, same applies with the summer projects. Even if a student works everyday I'm sure they can find the time to at least write a couple sentences on a topic and if not then they should receive a zero.
