Academically year-round schooling will be beneficial for the students in this school district. According to Year-Round Schools “Colorado Springs noted that after two years of operation, students in YRS grades 1-3 showed higher scores overall than those in the traditional grades 1-3 but grades 4-6 showed no significant difference.” The students will also continue to gain their independence and are able to develop their own interest into the student’s education. It also can depend on how much the students physically and emotionally receive the material. My audience may resist this situation because their district is not guaranteed to have higher test scores for year-round schooling. According to Costs and Benefits of the Year-Round Calendar System
Gone are the days of children getting off of school to help their family farms during the summer. Now, children as well as the teachers get out for some much needed relaxation. So why do we still follow the same schedule? It seems every school year the discussion of year-round education captures the attention of the general public. Is it time for year-round education (YRE) to be the new norm? Ultimately, there are not that many pros for year-round schooling to be the new thing and the traditional 180-day schedule should be kept.
Year-Round school will take away businesses and will end up costing more than the traditional school calendar. YRS calendar would be the regular beginning of the year date and continue on from there and before the next school year starts the students would have only 2 weeks before school starts again to “be on vacation”, if you even want to call it that. The students grades depends on the teachers’ teaching abilities, it shouldn’t matter how long the school year is. If the student needs extended time for school, that’s what summer school is for. “Houston, Texas schools abandoned the YRS program after eight years because of the added expenses and no true relief from overcrowding or improvements
Year round school calendars aren’t the best idea we’ve had to improve our educational systems. This is just one of many ideas we’ve had. Year round schooling has affected families, students, and required maintenance in many negative ways.
The final bell rings. It’s the last day of school, and summer has finally come! Students don’t have to think about school for at least another 2 1/2 months. That is the way it should always be. Schools should continue using the traditional calendar and not a year-round schedule.
To some people test scores may be better, but who is actually going to sit down and have everyone’s test from a year of traditional school and a year of year-round school and do the research on everyone’s test scores. Even in Tracy Huebner’s Year-Round Schooling Educational Leadership he says “Unfortunately, research is inconclusive on whether year-round schooling is an effective to test scores.” I personally think that test scores may get worse because of the scheduling adjustment the students will have to make. In Mathew Lynch’s Year-Round Schooling Arguments he says “For parents with children of different ages and
If there is year round schooling, there is a higher potential level and students would benefit from having year-round schooling. There are year round schooling which would cause a lot less distractions through the school year. “Suppose in the year round school program, there’s a break every six or eight weeks; that means as soon as students begin to feel settled, they’re off again. If shortened breaks come too frequently, as they’d almost have to in the new system, it becomes harder for students to ever get
When a person first mentions the idea of year-round schooling, their comment is usually met with a look of dread. The image of year-round schooling is that students must go to school every day throughout the entire year with no breaks. This is an untrue image. Students are given frequent breaks throughout the school year to make up for the shorter summer break. It was first used in the 1800s, which goes against many people’s thoughts that it is a new alternative schooling proposal (Research). At that time year-round schooling was used in industrial cities to teach English to children of immigrants. By the early 1900s, year-round schooling was used as a method to reduce overcrowding, underfunding,
Year round schooling may sound scary but read this and I might change your mind. Year round school is pretty much what is sounds like, except it is the same amount of school days as a regular year, and it has more spread out breaks. Year round school would be beneficial because it consist of less review due to “summer slide”, more “family time”, and longer more spread out breaks.
` School systems should not transfer to year round schooling because of the lack of educational benefits. According to the NEA, “Studies have been inconclusive to its academic benefits. According to a sociologist at Ohio State University, “Over a full year of math and reading test scores improve about the same amount for children in year round schools as they did for schools with the traditional school
Does year round school truly have a positive impact in the lives of students? Various studies do suggest that year round school is helpful. There are some disadvantages to this type of schooling that are preventing all schools from switching to this type of scheduling. In earlier times schools were only teaching throughout half of the year so that school would be out of session when it was time to work in the fields. This type of scheduling is still common today even though only a small portion of agriculture is tied into education and kids are no longer required to work. “In 1994, the National Education Commission on Time and Learning (1994) urged school districts to develop school calendars that acknowledged (a) differences in student learning and (b) the major changes taking place in American society. The report reflected growing concern about how the school calendar relates to students at risk for academic failure” (Cooper, Nye, Charlton, James, & Greathouse). As a result. many are fighting for year-round school. Year-round school has proven to be beneficial in the lives of students and has lead to greater success in the classroom. Although, there are some downfalls to year-round schooling.
Have you ever thought about how year-round schooling can be beneficial to students? In today’s society, many school districts have been switching from a standard school year to year-round schooling. Year-round schools follow the basic 180 day school year, but the days are more spread out throughout the year following the 45-15 method. Forty five days of school, followed by fifteen day breaks. Year-round schooling is beneficial to many because it prevents students from gaining unwanted weight and causes less stress for teachers and students.
I think it's funny that the subject of year-round school is still a topic of debate. The reason is I just want to have good teachers and get a good education. I really don't care when and how the schedule is set up because I know my mom and dad will support me and get me to where and when I need to be. But, if I had a choice I would choose to have a schedule similar to what Nick Castellino writes about in his letter. I feel that of the two letters Nick wrote the one I agreed with more. Nick's letter, seemed to me, to be mainly about doing away with year-round school.
people believe year-round schools is a good idea for students, there are those who believe it’s a bad idea and schools should stay the way it is. Some may say no year-round schools would be better because students can experience more outside during the summer instead of having three - four weeks of summer off and spend more time with family. Although Having year-round schools have many benefits for students actually , giving students the education they need, less drop outs, and more vacation time to spend with their family each break. It is important that we get the education we need so we can succeed in life and do better in the future.
Year round education (YRE) is implemented in 436 U.S. school districts with very few complaints. In fact, school districts that have been participating in YRE and extended school days (ESD) are raving about the benefits in pupil's achievement level, their new found enthusiasm in learning, as well as the many programs that exist in the extended day promoting the decline in latch key children.
Over the many years schools have been trying to find the most efficient way for kids to learn. There has been everything from constant review, and going over past material to be able to teach the new. There is however a new way to get the kids to remember old material. And this method has been implemented into school schedules all over the globe. That method is year round school. Recent as well as past studies show that year round school is the most efficient productive way for kids to learn. It has been said that students tend to forget during 3 month long summer vacations (USA Today 7). There is evidence that supports this claim in the difference in test scores between schools with normal schedules, and schools who follow the year round guidelines.
