The Pros And Cons Of Self-Study For Students

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.

Year-round schools have gained popularity among the United States, being a very communicated topic within middle class communities. These schools are generally argued about by whether they are beneficial or not. While there are many advantages to year-round schools, there are some disadvantages as well. A few of these disadvantages include the expenses of the schools, the schedules the schools provide, the involvement within the schools, and the actual effectiveness of these schools.

Industries such as business and medicine depend on extreme methods and forward thinking ideas. To be a successful enterprise, one must be willing to take risks and try new things. Within the last century, education has attempted to take a leap of faith by completely flipping the traditional school schedule and idea of summer vacation upside down. Just as with any idea, there are advantages and disadvantages as well as supporters and opponents. Each district must look at their own individual needs and evaluate the trials from schools that have gone before them to decide if year-round schooling would benefit their school.

M1: Assess the impact of key influences on the personal learning process on own learning -

There are many factors that can have an influence on my learning. One of them is my friends. My friends can influence my learning by distracting me during lessons and also by helping me to catch up on work. In some ways, friends can motivate me because they encourage me to do my work and to get my assignments done on time. They also motivate me because they assist me with my work when I need it instead of waiting to ask a tutor which cannot be done as easily; I can easily call a friend. Friends have a positive influence on me because they are aware of the things that I am doing so that they know what I should be working on, mainly because my friends are all doing the same course as me. A negative affect that they have on my learning is

Many teens also like to get jobs over the summer. The teens will not be able to do that because there won’t be a summer break. In text 2 paragraph 5 it says, “ Some critics, however, note that extracurricular activities, like sports and band, may be more difficult under year-round schedule.” It would be hard because if all schools aren't doing the year-round schooling. Also, it would be difficult because it would be hard to get in competitions, plays, and games. (However) year round (schooling does) affect schedules, that isn't’ the main reason why there shouldn’t be year round schooling. The main reason why is because, it rushes into a new school year. After just a week of school ending, it starts right back up again. That gives people no time to get school supplies and it gives zero time for teacher to finalize grades,get their room ready, get school supplies for their own children ,etc. Also, teachers can’t (arrange) a new school year in a week. In text 2 it states, “Finalizing grades and report cards may take place while school is still in session,

They would need to use more energy to keep it cool in school. For instance they say that ¨electricity bills for homeowners in the summer months goes up 4 to 8% ¨.

Raising cost can also lead to not having money to pay for other stuff such as school activities.(Year-Round Schooling: 3 Common Arguments Against

The idea of a year-round school is a really neglected one. Most schools have adopted the ‘Traditional’ idea of a school year that has a summer break. However, a year round school has periodic, shortened breaks, which helps the students, and the teachers alike.

“No pencils, no books, no more teachers; for a kid, an endless summer would be the best thing in the world. Unfortunately, right now America’s education system is on the ropes” (Reasons Why Year Round School Is A Good Idea-Screenflex).

Making students go to school in the summer will make it hard for students who depend on full-time working during these months.

Year-round school is not a good idea. For one, the cost of essential items in school will rise. For parents, it gives them less time for “family time” since their children are too busy doing homework. Also, the student’s homework creates stress and they can’t do the outside activities they desire. Without year-round schools, it would benefit the school, the parents, and the students.

Here in Lake St. Louis, Missouri, people know that throughout the year, there will be at least one school day canceled due to snow.

One of the key fundamentals in the daily life of an individual is education, most of the achievements that have been made are because of knowledge that was gained through education. It is also known that through education, one gets empowered to do many things so that he or she can become successful in life. Because of these, school systems are seen to be important in our society. There have been suggestions to change the current education system to a year-round school system.
