Most schools in the United States of America follow the traditional 180-day schooling system. A system that was set in the 19th century, when schooling for children began with a 10-week vacation. During that period of time students would help their families on the farm during the summer. Today everything has changed, today we live in the 21st century, and the question is should schools stay the same or should they be year round. Year round school is a school that goes year-round. Year round school
would be year round schooling. The program started as a new way to learn. The old way and still the way most schools calendar is set up was designed the way it is due to harvest times, when the United States was a farming country. There have been many studies done, and some schools have already implemented this program. The studies and the schools that have gone ahead and implemented the program have seen both good things and bad things in their findings. There will be both pros and cons for every
29 March 2017 “Should Kids Go to a Year Round School?” When I return to school after summer, I always struggle to remember anything from the months before. For this reason, I personally think kids should go to a year round school. Moreover, kids shouldn’t have such a long summer vacation. Students should go to a year-round school for more intersessions throughout the year, so they have less stress, it will be easier to remembering what they learned, and year-rounds schooling has smaller intersession
States, most schools still use a ten-month calendar that was developed when our country’s students needed school off to help with harvesting (Palmer). Trimble Local Schools Superintendent Kim Jones says, “year-round schooling is the notion of getting away from the old agrarian calendar...which was formed up around the planting season. Students were out of school from April until harvest to work in the fields,” (qtd. in Hapka). Under the agrarian system, most United States students are in school for nine
School and summer. Can you guess which one is dreaded the most? School; a part of education that has been around for centuries while causing moaning and groaning from students hopping out of bed in the morning. But then again there’s also the season of summer; a two month break that most kids look forward to, simply because it’s their time off from school and being educated eight hours a day, for five days a week. Although these two activities are very good for an adolescents mind, there is also
most powerful weapon, which you can use to change the world”. School boards today are taking these words to heart, as they are concerned about student’s education more than ever. The solution to their concerns of students weakening education is the method of Year Round Schools. This supposed “education-saving” method offers the same amount of school days except the traditional summer break is exchanged for smaller breaks throughout the year. Although this method is supposed to boost students learning
Should schools make students wear uniforms? In the state of California, schools are deciding whether or not wearing uniforms is the best thing for students. For the city of Adelanto, these could be reasons to consider starting wearing uniforms at the schools.

school newspaper, Fanshawe Interrobang (House, 2013). However, the population of this segment is about half of the population at Western University. Fanshawe is also located further away and the college does not offer free public transit to its students, which would make it much more difficult for students to get to the cafe (House, 2013). Also, as with Western University, many of Fanshawe’s students would not be around the area from May through August, meaning that business would be slow during
a break during the hotter months of the year in order to combat things like heat exhaustion. However, almost every school now has central cooling, so why haven’t more schools adopted a year-round schedule? Just begging the question will produce a rather negative reaction from your typical student, which is completely reasonable. This is because they hear this as, no summer break, when in reality it would mean, more breaks spread out across the entire year. When you explain to students that they
