We Shouldn T Go To School

The first reason i'm against year-round school because we wouldn't have our summer break, The reason why it's a bad thing to not have summer break we won't get to enjoy outside activities we won't be able to have much fun as we deserve to because it wouldn't be fair. I thank it's better to have a summer instead of going all round school.

“The U.S. research challenges one of the main arguments for abandoning conventional schedules: year- round schooling improves achievement because it prevents students from falling behind during the summer and because it does not waste precious time reviewing past years’ lessons”

The average school period is one hundred and eighty days with small breaks in between and a three-month break during summer to ease students’ minds and let them relax. The Board of Education should make all schools in the United States year-round to increase educational time and decrease the loss of knowledge over the breaks. It gives students the same time to relax and plan family vacations periodically throughout the year, but never creates the stress of changing sleep schedules that summer break changes. Not only is it a good way to enhance education, but it also is better for planning family events, positive effects on budget, academic achievement, and could decrease the absence rate of students.

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.

Most schools in America today follow the traditional 180-day schooling system. This system was started in the 19th century when schooling for children began. There was a 10-week summer vacation for the students to help their families on the farm for harvesting. In March of 2009, President Barak Obama suggested to the public his Race to the Top program. The program is to extend the school hours or extend the school days. “We can no longer afford an academic calendar designed when America was a nation of farmers who needed their children at home plowing the land at the end of each day,” he says. His reason is the students of school today will not be equipped for the 21st century if we continue to use the traditional

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 the question about going to school year-round. Year-round schooling is all the 180 days split up over the whole year. Sure it sounds like a terrible plan, but what you aren’t hearing is that students and staff get longer breaks throughout the school year as well. In the articles Should American Schools Go Year Round by Sindhu Nair and The Pros and Cons of Year-Round Schooling by Scholastic, they both focus on their specific argumentative side. While gathering

Year round school calendars aren’t the best idea we’ve had to improve our educational systems. This is just one of many ideas we’ve had. Year round schooling has affected families, students, and required maintenance in many negative ways.

Making students go to school in the summer will make it hard for students who depend on full-time working during these months. In a story it states ”Many teens in our school district work full-time during the summer”. Then teenagers will not make any money and will not t have money for food,clothes,and rent for their families.

Alan Dessoff reports that year-round schooling may or may not be on track. One problem that a lot of schools are having is overcrowding. More than 2 million students, in 3,000 schools, in 47 states were attending year-round school in 2006-2007. The numbers are still accurate today. This is a problem because there is not enough room for that many students year-round. Year-round schooling is also costing schools a lot more money than the regular 180-day calendar. Bus fare, lunches, and staff attendance is costing schools a lot of money that most schools cannot afford. Year-round schooling also may affect high school children more than it affects elementary and junior high students because students in grades 9-12 are looking for summer jobs. One

It is October 15th. Normally, students would be at school, working for hours on end at math, communication arts, and science. But this year is different. This year your school has now entered into the year-round calendar system. At home, you can enjoy the season of fall with pumpkins, Halloween, and beautiful weather. The idea of year round school has most commonly been pushed aside because of the misconception that it is too much school, or an on-going cycle of learning. However, those who declare this, do not understand the year-round school concept. Year-round school provides the same number of days as the traditional calendar. The difference, which will change our society and the achievement rate of our students in the future, is that the days are reordered into intersessions. The mechanisms of year round school include students attending school for a nine week period, then following this is a three week break. This rotation occurs year-round with a slightly longer summer break. Consequently, Though many people agree with keeping tradition with the popular school calendar, new evidence and testimony proves that year-round school provides the better avenue because the world is evolving, it benefits low income students, and intersessions are more effective than summer break.

“Should school start after Labor Day to beat the heat?” an article by Keoki Kerr explains the problem of schools in Hawaii starting when it’s very hot. Unfortunately, 90% of the classrooms in Hawaii don’t have air conditioning and it would cost $1.7 billion to install air conditioners in thousands of classrooms across the state. Hawaii has 180 mandatory instructional days with a lot of holidays thrown in. Corey Rosenlee, head of the teachers union, says,”You know I really appreciate the sentiment of the two legislators (Jill Tokuda and Sylvia Luke). But the problem is that if we push the calendar back, the kids will be learning in June and June is still hot.” The problem is that if the Legislature pushes the calendar back, the kids will

By shortening summer that will make kids more stressed and not as focused in class because by the end of the year students start to get bored and not as focused but with summer they can come back rejuvenated and ready to learn

Many schools do not require for students to go to school year around, although that could change quickly if evidence prove that going to school year around would be a better choice. Many citizens support the idea of going to school year around, but there are just as many citizens that are satisfied with the amount of days we currently attend. Some citizens state that students are being cheated out of their education because attending school year around is not a requirement. The other citizens state that students already spend too much time in the classroom and requiring students to go year around would be a awful idea. There are many questions and concerns that would need to be addressed before the major change could be done.

For many kids summer is the best time of the year, but summer break might be hurting kids education.

When students go to a year round school, their grades are better. This academic increase is mainly due to not having summer break. During summer break, students tend to forget most of the information they learned in their previous school year. “At the end of the long break, teachers are finding themselves having to take extra time out of their day to re-teach their students the lessons they already learned the previous year” (Research Spotlight on Year-Round Education). Also, year round school provides teachers with more time to finish all of their lessons. Most teachers don’t even finish teaching the full text book they’re given.
