text: Although creating the summer project teacher-designed takes the freedom of choice from the students, the teacher-design allows for the topics to be educational and for the teachers to create a set of guidelines to support the students. The summer project is to help keep students continue learning during their break. Teacher-design keeps that idea in place, while students can mess around with it. It is a teachers job to teach and provide guidance and not for the students to teach themselves and stress themselves out. Teacher-design is the right way to go for the summer project.Dear Senator
