Should Kids Have a Summer Break?
We shouldn’t have to go to year-round school one reason is there is too much stress in the schools can cause things bad to happen. Also you it will mess up yours and other people’s schedules. Furthermore, you can do other educational activities while going through the summer to remember what you were taught in the past year, for example, you can print out math sheets to work on (what you learned in the past year) to work on.
The first reason why kids should have summer break is, because it messes up the schedule of other schools and the people around you. According to Jaclyn Zubrzycki, if you spend too much time in the classroom you

According to (Mass Literacy) you can read books and take a quiz to increase your memory. You can also print math worksheets of the internet. According to (Great! Schools) you can create a little building to increase math. Another reason is you can act out plays without the script to increase your memory. You can use math in the real world by for example going to the store with your family and help them figure out the cost or you can build with your family to use fractions and measurements of the wood or whatever you’re building with. You can also do flash cards to remember. One reason we should have year-round school is, there wouldn’t be an overflowing class room, because according to (Screenflex) there would be four different tracks. When one track is on vacation the other three will still be working in school. While this is happening the classrooms won’t be so packed so you don’t have to bring in extra chairs or desk. Another example is kids will be able to focus better if there are less kids in a classroom because they won’t be surrounded by other kids so they won’t talk. Some kids might still talk, but most of them will more work
Did you know that all year round schools are the same length as regular schools? As of now are school day length is roughly 180 days, the all year round schools are roughly 180 days long. The only reason why people think that you go to school longer in a year round school is because you only get a month off in the summer, the rest of the time is spread out between our Easter and Christmas holidays. Pros of year round schooling would include longer breaks on holidays, for example, instead of getting two weeks off during the Christmas holidays we might get three weeks off for Christmas holidays. Another pro of year round schooling would be would be, the school would not be empty for two months at a time, when the school is empty for two months at a time the owner starts to lose money because they are still paying for water and power bills even though nothing is being used. A con of all year round schooling would be you don’t graduate from school earlier than all of the other schools, just because you only get one month off in the summer doesn't mean that you still learn for an extra month. Year round schooling holidays are just separated more compared to just having two months off during summer and a week or two off during holidays. The final pro of having year round schooling would be not having the school closed for two month at a time. One of the worst things about year round schooling is summer holidays, the person who pays the bills for year round schooling is not getting
By educating children better, the workforce would be a lot smarter.” In fact the students would then remember almost three times more information than those with a summer break. When the time comes for students to enter the workforce, they are more prepared, educated, and well-minded. Without a summer break the teachers wouldn't have to go over the same content that had once taught before because of lack of academics during the summer. Short breaks are what're needed not
This is one reason that we should not have year round school in the United States. Year round schools don't learn any more than the kids in traditional nine month school calendar. The article says,"Students in "year-round" schools don't learn more than their peers in traditional nine-month schools, new research has found." This shows that kids in year round school don't learn any more then kids in the nine month school calendar. If kids don't learn any more than their peers than they shouldn't have to go to year round school. Kids in school deserve to have a summer vacation to hang out with friends and family and to be able to travel.
Did you know many schools attend year round school? In my opinion I think that we shouldn’t have year round school. For instance, if you have a long distance family member, and you ant to visit them, how would you be able to do that? Also how are you going to go on vacation and spend more than a weekend there? You wouldn’t unless your parents were off and they took you out of school.
Having year round school helps a lot in many different ways. Schools should have year round school because in year round schools relationships and academics are better, it’s easier to go to year round school, and no more staying inside all summer long on video games. First,
What do you do during summer break? Do you go on a long family trip, or do you have to get a job? Now imagine if those plans were ruined by year round schooling. Year round schooling is not beneficial for students and teachers because it can cause more stress, students get summer jobs, and people go on family trips and spend time with family and friends during summer break.
One reason we should not have year-round school is because it affects the kids. The main reason kids would not want year-round school is because it gets rid of a lot of their summer break. Instead of having a long two and a half to three-month break, they would be stuck with a measly one month. How the heck is that supposed to be fun? Another reason is because kids may want to have a job over the summer, and year-round school won’t let them do that. Another reason is because kids can learn things over summer break that they can learn in school. Some kids go to museums, or camps, or libraries over the summer, and they can learn a lot from these places.
When people think of year round schools they think of the boring 365 day school, but it is actually just 180 days spread out throughout the year. There has been lots of debate on year round schooling. Some people think,that year round school is money absorbent, a waste of time, and an unuseful program. Others think, it improves education, makes money, and can accommodate more students. I think that year round school is an advantage to the student's,the school, and the economy.
Having summer school sucks, but keeping yourself healthy is the very first priority that keeps you productive and happy no matter when it is. You should sleep, wake up early and do morning walks, because walking is free, and it releases stress, which helps one’s brain function in a more beneficial way. While staying on task for summer school, you should reward yourself with quality time surrounding with family and friends. Hugging your loved ones often, because scientifically it releases stress, boost confident, and reduces the risk of depression. Try to do whatever you want while staying on task: read a book if you are a booklover, watch movies with friends if you love to hang out, go on hikes if you love to exercise and engage in nature,
Year round school helps with the complications of childcare issues. Parents won 't have to worry about paying for their child to go to a daycare or a summer camp. Child care can be very expenses and the child might even be upset about going to daycare everyday of the summer. Another child care issue is that if families have older children they could get stuck with watching their younger siblings. Then most of teenagers summer are spent watching their younger siblings when they could be enjoy their summer the way they want.
Summer vacation to kids means sports, vacation, netflix, hanging out with friends and overall just having fun. It distracts students when they’re waiting the entire last month of school for their summer, no one pays attention to their final exams. Another problem is that the summer tends to leave students confused when coming back to school the following September. They’ve completely forgotten the material from the previous school year, that the teachers spend weeks reviewing. It’s pointless for teachers to repeat it, valuable class time is being wasted. Having shorter breaks spaced throughout the year allows the students to relax but maintain their good marks. The break is long enough for them to finally ‘breathe’ but isn’t long enough to forget all the material they’ve learned. This enables the teachers to resume right where they left off, it’s the best strategy for the education of students, especially when this is the biggest
The whole reason students attend school is to gain the knowledge that is necessary to live life in the future. Throughout the years of progression, students are able to inherit a tremendous amount of information that will be useful in their life later on whether it’d be in college, their job etc. Year-round schooling can boost that knowledge even more! Looking at the ABCNews video, Margaret Trimer Hartley, a superintendent at Detroit’s university Press Science and Math, she states that with the year-round schooling, the biggest benefit is that they deliver results. When students go out on summer break it is very common for them to lose what they learned about the year before so the teachers have to review it with them for the first month of school. Yet, with the year-round schooling, students wouldn’t be keen to losing the memory. This would later give teachers more time to teach the students newer lessons, which will build up their knowledge. Heartly states that, “Test scores for kids raised 25% in California with year-round schooling” (ABCNews). This statistics shows that there are results and they are positive. With test scores being raised, teachers are noticing that students are able to learn more things and later remember it so when they take a test, the results would increase. This would later be beneficial to students because they can later compete against other countries
The first reason why kids should have summer break is because summers are made for making memories. According to Gary Huggins, kids need to enjoy time and vacation with their families. Vacation is freedom for everyone, including the students and teachers. Furthermore, Huggins believes that you can tie in what you’ve learned over the year with memories you’re making in the summer (Huggins). Vacations are more fun when you have all the time to make memories. Vacation is best during the summer, everyone enjoys hot summer days and spending time with their friends and family (Huggins). Summer break is a time where families make
Another reason why Spring Break is important , is for numerous students gape forward to Spring Break, so they work harder knowing they're going to have a break at the end of all their drapery work ;therefore, leads to positivity.
Three teenagers who have just been on summer break for three days are looking to make their summer not so boring and a little more memorable. They are all nineteen years old and are attending college. At this age many kids are unsure of what they want to do for the rest of their life. They just want to live life in the moment and not think about their future. The one boy has his father paying for college, it seems to me they are not very driven and unsure of their futures. Sadly, these teenagers don’t want to be responsible for themselves. Ultimately, they would rather have their parents do everything for them for the rest of their life. They have little to no motivation, today kids often take summer classes or at least attain a head start on their next semester. Back then you were legally able to drink at the age of 19. They talk about going from bar to bar. “On this, the third night, we’d cruised the strip sixty-seven times, been in and out of every bar and club we could think of in a twenty-mile radius. It was 2:00 A.M.; the bars were closing” (Kennedy 528). Eventually, the boys settle on going to their usual hang out spot, the Greasy lake.
