There are times when teachers have handed out activities, projects, or classwork where they can be a bit too challenging or stressful for some students.

For example, when students have to study for a test, and they are given study guides with just questions it really does not help motivate some students to study. Unlike when students who use different study tools, such as games or more interactive activities, this makes the task more fun and wanting to put effort.

when I was younger I had to do a project for school and I did not like the reading project that was assigned it didnt let my creativity flow and I couldnt get into the book. Kids like to explore and find new things to do. Let a kid be a kid dont assign them something they would not find fun over the summer.
