text: And lastly, creativity. This is the most important thing to learn at a young age, because not many people have it. Letting student assign their own project definitely creates creativity, it makes them think outside of the box and do things they normally wouldnt, like creating their own personal project over the summer. it lets them think for themselves for once instead of just having work assigned by the teacher in the regular school year, it makes them think for themselves. And most importantly, it prepares them for the real world. In the workplace your most likely not just going to have assignments with specific regulations to follow, no, you are going to have to get crafty and create a solution. We need people like that in our world today, and thats what students need to develop at an early age by say, designing their own project over the summer rather an administrator designing it.
