    As a child, summer vacation was something I looked forward to with great anticipation. Breaking free from the doldrums of school, and spending roughly three months leisurely basking in the absence of academic responsibility, seemed like a right I had earned. Why would I not have? From kindergarten to the day I graduated high school that was the normal routine, and from everything I gathered and knew that was the way it had always been. As I grow older and become more aware of the ebbs and flows of

    Year-Round Schools Think about what it is like not to have a summer. One cannot attend fun summer camps, go on once in a lifetime summer vacations, or get a fun summer job. If year-round schools are put into place everywhere, one would only have a thirty-day summer, or less, instead of a three- month summer. They will be hitting the books at school instead of lying out at the pool, relaxing, working a job, or just letting go of all the stress from the school year. Imagine never truly getting a

    watch TV and don’t get exercise. If you go to year round school you won’t have much time to watch TV.  Year-round schooling is positive because it gives students more frequent breaks to relax, it improves test scores, and there is no summer school. Year-round schooling is unlike regular schooling in many good and bad ways. An example is how schooling year-round will save time in school and outside of school. Due to the shorter summers schooling year-round would make you have more frequent breaks and

    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. To begin with, kids need fresh air; they need to be outside playing with their friends they don’t need to be stuck in a classroom for six weeks. Not being able to get exercise is not a good thing for kids they need to be outside exercising

    common in today’s urban society. The introduction of year-round education, though it clearly makes more sense for todays students, is still a relatively new concept and therefore is subject to a lot of speculation. With benefits such as, remediation, better chances for high-risk and ESL students, economic benefits, and more structure/stability it is a mystery why some oppose the idea of implementing it on a wider scale. The traditional school calendar is what is comfortable. It is like the childhood

    summer. June through August are the warmest months of the year and is often the time of year when people enjoy going on vacations and getting away. Switching to an all year schedule would be a slapdash(1) move. Even with all year schooling students do not learn more (Mahoney). Switching to all year schooling can cause unbridled(2) stress, increased expenses, and limited scheduling. Nine months of schooling already causes enough stress, so all year schooling will at least double that. Firstly, there is

    Is year-round school, a good idea? Many think it is a perfect idea, others not so much. Education is a big part of what forms the minds of today’s generation. So, why not have it all year around? We would be expanding children's minds further and giving the most education possible for their future. During the summer time kids forget a lot of the stuff they learned in the previous school year, so when they come back they spend a lot of their time reviewing what they already learned instead of expanding

    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. The “summer slide” is the loss in academic skills and knowledge over the course of summer vacation. “Summer slide” usually

    Having year round school would be beneficial educationally, but personally as a student I believe it’s not a good idea. Kids love having a big break off school to have the opportunity to go places. I usually travel in the summer and if I only had 3-4 weeks it wouldn’t work out. Last summer I went to Texas and I wouldn’t have been able to do most of the activities I did because they only had them on certain days. Also 5 summers ago my family and I flew out to Germany. We spent two weeks there, but
