Tysen Pelate Mrs.Misselhorn 7th hour language arts 24 March 2017 Should kids have summer Break Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go to school year round? Some kids in our country have to. Some of the reasons we should have summer is it will relieve the stress off kids, and teachers, it is relaxing just to kick back and chill and not leave your house for weeks just playing games. If you don’t have the summer, you can’t have extracurricular activities like church camps or go camping. The first reason why kids should have summer break is because it is a relaxing According to Brittany Chu, relaxing in the summer helps kids recharge and get ready for the fall upcoming. The most important thing is that kids get to relax from the stress filled school year. Most kids at the end of the school year are jumping out of there seat, but kids with no summer don’t get that felling. Some kids have to get jobs in the summer and if they don’t have summer they don’t get to they might have to pay for tuition (Chu). As a student for me I use the summer brake to just get my energy back kick back and relax sleep in I would just miss that. In addition, Chu says Most kids just want to sit back on their couch and be a potato but going to school in the summer doesn’t let …show more content…
Most kids get the summer and lose half of what they learned, kids that go to year round schools are more intelligent. When kids get back to school they spend up to three weeks going over stuff they learned from last year. Some kids get lazier over the summer because they don’t go outside they are playing games. In studies they gave kids a test who just came back from school bombed a test they took, but kids who went to school year round did very well on it. Kids can still go to camps, churches, and go camping with their family because they have the three weeks in-between the
Making kids go to school during the summer would take a toll on the way they act towards their classmates—especially towards their teachers. Some students would try to act out and get into trouble so they can go home and relax. Others might even go to the extent of getting suspended or expelled so they wouldn't have to go to school at all.
I believe that students should have school all year round. Also kids that go to school all year round will still get the same amount of break as a school that has a two to three month summer break, just you get breaks through the whole school year. Students lose lots of knowledge over the long summer breaks its what scientist call a “summer slide”. Teachers have to take more time to review subjects from the year before to refresh the children's memory. This takes time out of the new school year.
Year-round schooling is a good idea because it cuts down on the set backs of long breaks. The summer break that everyone knows and loves used to have a different purpose then just swimming in the sun. In the 19th century the children going to school also worked on family farm, so they used this summer “vacation” to help get ready for the winter months. (McFadden and McMahon) Now that there is less farming families schools do not have to worry about that. By the end of the year, YRS
The first reason why kids should have a summer break is that it makes school less complicated. According to Jennifer Brozak, a disadvantage of having a year round school is that the school budget has to increase. They will need to have more fundraisers in order to keep the school going. If they neglect to get the amount of money they need they sometimes cancel and let the students have a summer break. In addition, teachers are having difficulty with planning lessons for students and grading papers in a short amount of time they have (Brozak). In addition, Brozak says, because of the short amount of time teachers have to grade papers they are prone to burnout. This is one of the reasons that schools should have a summer break because both teachers and students’ mental pressure because of work (Brozak). As a student, I can say that breaks will be necessary to recharge and prepare myself
According to the National Association for Year-Round Education, students will be able to advance more rapidly if they did year-round schooling. A by-product of summer break is the dividing of classes based on age. If schooling was year-round, there would be less distinction between one year and the next. This only teaches us to work with people from our generation. If we had year-round schooling we could advance quicker and work with people from different generations, just like how it would be in the future with jobs. Also, the constant learning environment takes away the emphasis of when the student started school and instead emphasizes skill
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.
(Wake County) has found that students learn more during the summer while the other kids are on vacation but they seem to learn less during the rest of the school year. Some may say that it can prepare them for the future and jobs because there is no summer break. Also other may say that kids should have a break off and enjoy it while they can and make memories. But that's only so little time in their breaks to do so much other than plan out a ton of trips and all over a longer more enjoyable break. More children would rather have more time do use that time enjoying their
spend time with family for other important activities. Many families plan to travel and spend time with their family, but if they only have five weeks they won’t have the same amount of time to connect with their family. According to the article “Is Summer Vacation Bad for you?” It a time for families to reconnect and for kids to recover from academic and social stresses of school”(Scholastic 1). This means kids need their break to relieve them from stress life traveling, going away to summer camp, or just relaxing at their home.
Kids need summer or they might go insane, see things, mind tricking them, stretched eyelids, circles under eyes, this is what happens when kids get no rest. Year-round schooling gives more breaks, but the same amount of school, there is less summer and overall that can make kids tired. In year-round schooling kids get less summer, but more breaks, a lower economy, because of having to power all the time & hard-time transitioning from traditional schooling, what we have now, to year-round schooling.
First, year-round school takes away kids chances of having real world experiences and adventures. The summer time is the time kids earn to explore and get into the arts. For example, many kids join camps for music, innovation, outdoors,
Summer vacation is probably what 100 percent of students look forward to at the end of year. Having school should not be year round because one will not necessarily need to retain the information they learned last year to benefit them the next year, one will have the risk of being extremely stressed out, and one won't have time to be with family or friends.
Do you remember how excited you used to get for summer break? Now imagine not having a break at all, having to continuously learn new subjects all year-long. Exhausting isn’t it? There are some schools where there would be a 3-4 week break in the summer, but the winter break is longer than ours. Personally, I believe that we should keep our summer break the way it is because: both students and teachers deserve a break from school, constantly having new information drilled into your head all year-long is bound to put stress on anyone, and there are countless students who depend on summer break to work and/or travel.
What would life be like without summer vacation? Some educators argue that there should be year-round school years with miniscule breaks spread throughout the year instead of one large summer break. These people claim that the students will be able to retain information better this way because summer break is such a long time without schooling. Summer break should not change because it would lead to less vacation time, overworked students, and additional stress for teachers.
With all these hot summer days, it lets us have time to sit down and watch a movie. Relaxation is one of the best factors about long summer breaks. You’re able to go out and get a facial without having to schedule it on a certain day and certain time. You work on your time not anyone else's. You’re able to do your errands and then still have time to go see that new horror movie
Some positives of no summer break are the classes like physical education, art, music, etc. have been cut back through the years to focus on English and math in the hopes of boosting test scores. As well as Eliminating the long break would boost the academic achievement by getting rid of issues with kids forgetting material they learned over the year. Though it may seem fun, a summer break can often lead to boredom.
