Teachers who know the curriculum for their class can give projects over the summer that prepare students for the following school year. Student-designed projects would be less representative of actual class material and therefore be less beneficial for learning.

For example, I typically recieve a paper listing several names of books that my teacher is asking us to read and write an essay on. It helps by making sure that students don't pick books that are too short, too extreme, or books that are not advanced enough for their grade level. It narrows down the number of books t...

Every summer break, students are given projects in certain classes to make sure they continue to improve over the break. These projects handed out to the students are always made by the teachers, but what if we change that?

Teachers can overstep because it may not seem like a lot of work to them, but to the students, it is. They can put in too much information which can make it less benificial to the students. Doing a project over summer break that is not productive, is a huge waste of time.

Some schools require students to complete projects over summer break to assure that students are still learning while on break. Many of these schools and their students have mixed opinions on if these projects should be teacher designed projects or student designed projects.

For projects with the intentions to keep students learning while on summer break the first issue would be students making projects on subjects that have no relevance to school, this would be very inefficient in the efforts made by school boards to keep students learning.

In order to keep students minds refreshed and thinking, it is crucial for them to learn even when away from school. During summer many students forget about their studies which is why some schools require summer projects. These projects ensure that the students are learning new material over break.
