The Importance Of Year-Round School

Non-stop school for 45 days? Thats what kids would have to deal with if they had a year round school. Whether Florida should be a year round school has been a debate for some time now. Florida should not be a year round school because it has a different schedule than highschools, and when a student finally starts something they would forget it with a 5 day vacation. Even though it gives students a break, that would make it so that students can’t get deeply into something.This is why Florida should not have a year round schools.

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.

Should kids have a summer break or have year round schooling? I think that that students should have summer break because of the complications it brings with having a year-round schooling.

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

The topic of year around school has been brought up many times throughout my time in school. Though it has been brought up, it has not actually been considered by my fellow students and I. We have all taken surveys regarding it and most of the people I know have been against it. With our school being in a small town in Iowa I do not think having year round schooling would benefit us or the community.

"They do not view YRE as a calendar configuration for space, achievement, or enrichment, but rather as a part of the transformation toward a philosophy of long continuous learning." (Guthrie). One of the main purposes of Year-Round Schooling is to lower the break time between school sessions. This causes children to have a better chance of retaining the knowledge that they learned from the previous year (Wyoming Tribune Eagle). Year-round schools consist of the same amount of school days, 180 days, the difference is that it is spread out over 12 months instead of the original 10. When the original school schedule was made, it was made for families who farmed in the summer. Modern day Americans do not have to focus on the economic issue

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

Whether Florida should become a year-round schooling state is a new issue. Year-round school is when the bread is broken up and scattered throughout the school year. The children would go to school for a few weeks, then get a few weeks off. This process would repeat. Floridians should not go to year-round schooling because the constant breaks are disruptive and teens can’t get summer jobs to help pay for college. However, many believe children won’t forget information with the short breaks. There are too many problems with year-round schooling, Florida should not do it.

Year round school students attend classes for anywhere from six to nine weeks in a row and then vacation two to four week intervals. It is said that children are likely to remember more in year round school rather than nine-month school and a three-month long summer break. In my opinion year round calendar for public schools causes more problems rather than fixing them. Due to the economic status, funding for education in the United States is limited, so education during the summer will cost school districts more money to support the program. Introducing this type of school calendar to students and parents will endure plenty of adjustments during the summer season.

“Everybody is talking about going back to school and I am over here thinking…we ONLY have 5 more weeks until FALL BREAKATION! Year-Round Schools ROCK! ” Year-round schools is when they expand the 180 days into the entire year and take breaks in between. Neosho is currently doing a 10 month schedule and we have two months off for the summer. The Neosho school board is thinking about doing Year-Round School the Sophomores, Senior year. They are thinking about doing where we go to school for 45 days and 15 day off or 60 days in school than 20 days off. During the break, we can rest our brains. Year-round schooling has a positive outcome for students.

Going to a year-round school is way better than going to a traditional calendered school. According to the article “Should You Give Up Summer Vacation?,” there are many pieces of evidence that show that going to a year-round school is a better choice than going to a traditional schedule school. A couple examples of why going to a year-round school is better for students is that the shorten breaks lessen how much students forget, more shorter breaks relieves the stress students have and because other countries are way more advance than the United States. Year-round and traditional calendered schools are very similar. They both have the same amount of days that the students go to school for and the same amount of when the students don´t have

Vacations with the whole family can be a blast! But year-round school can take that away. Although year-round school can help students stay focused on what they are learning in school it is destroying the time that kids spend on sports and vacations with their family.

About four percent of public schools are operating on a year-round schedule, according to the National Center for Education Statistics. Year-round schooling is a misleading term; students in most American year-round school districts spend the same amount of days in class as students in traditional calendar schools. Year-round schools break the academic year up with several medium-sized vacations. This growing trend comes from America reacting to students scoring poorly on national and international tests. Year-round schooling had detrimental effects on students such as the emotional and developmental well being of a child, child care, and sporting event times.

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.
