The Importance Of Summer Vacations In School

Getting rid of summer break would hurt a lot of students; they do not have the patience to go to school during the school year—taking away what is supposed to be their vacation could possibly break them.

Firstly, students are more likely to get ahead when it comes to going to college and getting a job.”Students need electives so they can improve in other subjects. This shows that students don't have to spend so much time doing math and reading because that creates stress.” This evidence supports this reason

If schools started all year round school students would have more stress. That long summer break gives students time to unwind and relieve stress. This break lets students forget about school and live their lives easier without all the homework, classwork, test, and projects. Students also get time away from all the troubles that other students may cause. This long summer break also gives students more time to have fun.

Can you imagine going to an all year round –school? It must be horrible. You would have to go to school all year with short breaks in-between quarters. You couldn’t go on vacation, you couldn’t do activities, and summer is for family memories and its tradition. So why would we change tradition to go to school all year. Here are reasons why we shouldn’t apply to an all year round –schools.

The minute that everybody has been expecting for has at long last arrived. The people are inclining toward the edge of their seats, listening for the last chime to ring to unleash them to freedom. We all love it when summer vacation has arrived, but the time just passes by so fast. A high percentage of the students want there to be a longer summer vacation, but are there really any benefits? Well yes in fact a longer vacation will be associated with many benefits such as increased social life, health benefits, and educational plus financial gains.

The general argument made by Arianna Prothero in her work, “Does Paying Kids to Do Well Actually Work,” is that incentives may help boost students to come to school and learn so they may earn a further education. More specifically, Arianna believes that financial incentives have a huge impact on students rather than little rewards. She writes “Incentives are also more likely to work for students who need a little improvement to earn a passing grade.” Schools that use incentives have a better chance of teaching more kids as well as more of them learning what they really need to at school; new material.

Budget cuts not only affect children’s access to Pre- Kindergarten programs but they also affect summer school programs as well. According to Roberta Hoyle, Summerfield Elementary’s ESL Teacher, “The education cuts are making it so that some schools have to drop summer school. This hurts the students in the early ages whose parents are unable to take the children to the schools. Many students in low income areas need additional education but are unable to get the extra help because their local summer schools are closing.” Budget cuts are making it so that states are cutting summer school because they are unable to fund them. Summer school provides an opportunity for students who struggle during the year to catch up to the education level of

Today, people on the Board of Education are considering the riddance of Summer break for many students. Many students, including myself, do not like this idea for many reasons. Spending seven hours a day, five days out of seven days a week, is very difficult and everyone needs a long break from it.

During Spring Break, I was able to make changes to my paper. I was able to finish my methodology, make edits by contacting my mentors and editors, and I am currently concluding my findings and research analysis. I also able to study and develop a better knowledge regarding qualified immunity (in regards to the Fourth Amendment and protection for police officers), police training (in regards to reasonable/excessive force), the rating at which African Americans are being killed by police, and last but not least, the corruption and power that lies beneath the criminal justice system. In terms of force, the issue is that the amount of force used to subdue an unwilling criminal is a judgment call by a police officer. There is no universally accepted

Summer vacation. The time to hang out with your friends and have fun. Right? Schools in the US are debating on whether or not to have year round school. Yay or nay? Having year round school is a great idea.

When summer break finally approaches students want nothing more than to forget about school and all the responsibilities that come with it. In those three months of no school students stop practicing what is taught in school and begin to forget the information already learned. Students should be assigned a summer reading book because it can help students to continue learning and prepare for the upcoming school year.

Firstly, in year-round schooling less summer means less rest, more stress. When you're stressed your head feels so clogged and worrisome that no new information can be processed; therefore no learning can take place. Students who have less rest

Students can get off-track and not be focused throughout the school day because they are tired of showing up for school every morning and being stressed. Schools need to motivate their students, and “In particular, the research found that students who believed that their intelligence was something that they could develop and increase also held many other positive attitudes. First, believing that their ability could be increased, they valued learning as a goal, even when it involved hard work or initial errors. They also believed in the efficacy of effort--that is, they viewed effort in a positive way and felt that they had the ability, through their own efforts, to learn and master new material up to standard” (Blackwell). This explains how when students have a clear attitude towards education, it will increase their grades and development. Being paid money for good grades could help focus students on keeping their grades high, and be excited about going to school and learning so they can get cash. Just “this year, the numbers from Stafford County triggered my curiosity. Three of its schools had big increases in Advanced Placement tests given last May. Those are difficult three-hour exams at the end of tough courses. Many students who would do well in them don't take them, even though they help prepare for college. But at Colonial Forge High School, the number of AP tests

According to an article on The College Solution by Lynn O 'Shaughnessy there is no variance in the difficulty of the SAT and ACT over the course of the year. However, based on the results of the statistical data there is a slight drop in scores during the winter months. This could be attributed to the colder weather, but there is no definite cause for this drop in scores. Scores also appear to drop during the summer months, this could be attributed to the lack of school during summer break. The author goes on to defend the accuracy of the data by presenting possible reasons for a disruption in the data, and how she has accounted for it, “There is a slight maturation effect/test-retest effect, as students taking the early fall tests are more likely to be seniors who have already taken the test than are students taking the early winter tests. This effect is relatively weak, because for every test date, we have students taking the test for the first time, others for the final time, some having prepped with us, others having gone in to the test without any prep. Each sample is a mixture, and the law of averages wins in the end. Our sample of students pursuing test prep, by no means a random sample, is clearly skewed toward the higher end of the score spectrum.” (Lynn O 'Shaughnessy). Therefore, according to the data there is little variation between scores and the time that the individual takes the test. On average students can expect to receive similar scores all year round,

Regarding the educational system, there is an ongoing debate as to whether those who are summer-born children should have deferred entry a year later than their older peers. According to the government, decisions as to which year group a child should be put into should be done on a case-by-case basis since every child is different. Although it is in fact the school’s admissions who have the authority and parents are not deemed the right to decide for their children. Those in favour of the delayed entry would argue that it allows summer-born students to mature and be more emotionally developed, so then they are less likely to fall behind. Furthermore, delaying their schooling by a year would help to improve the academic success and social experiences of summer-born children. However, it could be argued that there may be no evidence to suggest that summer-born students are at a disadvantage and cannot succeed as well as autumn-born students.
