Well, school is already not the way we want to live our lives so let’s have the least of it as we can.
Do you like the sound of more fun? Well, with traditional schools you get that fun. With traditional school you get a longer summer, a lot longer, and when there is more summer that means that there is more fun. When you get longer summer, you get more time to hangout with friends, have as much swimming time as you want, more fun, and if you enjoy sports, summer is the season for that. Summer is almost all about the outside and in summer with traditional schools, you get that time to go outside and enjoy the warming sun! Summer is also a great season to have vacations, get yourself out of the house and explore some new places with your family, friends, or even both. Like vacations, amusement parks are a great place to be in the summer, to feel the breeze

in your face , the wind in your hair, and the fun time with your family and friends. Do you like the hot days with icy treats. Ice Cream and popsicles with the warm sun! Do you have a job or do your parents have a job?
Well if you said yes than you should know how it would feel to have you or a family member lose a job. If we went to year round schools. Many places like amusement parks for instance would be losing teenager or teacher employees. If they lose employees this might cause them to close down leaving you without an amusement park and everyone who works there without a job. You would lose many fun things that you like to do in the summer. Do you like swimming pools? Well many swimming pools would close because there would not be a big enough population there and the life guards may be working or even learning in school. This would really be a bummer. If you like your summer you would choose traditional schools over year
round. Not only does this affect kids, but it also affects parents. Mrs. Ostermyer (our teacher) states that she loves her long summers and enjoys spending time with her kids. Mrs. Vocke (our other teacher) replies that she likes to have the summer to learn more for the next year and help her children on things they may struggle with. She also likes to take longer vacations and likes to be outside, gardening. Many other parents think year round schools takes a lot of babysitting money because they are not home while their kids are. Traditional schools also give you more time to relax and rest your mind. 15 out of 20 kids we interviewed would prefer a long summer. According to Webmaster, parents say they are not getting the time that they need with family because of the short breaks. Many fast food businesses are failing employees because kids are at school in the summer. Year round schools have taken away lots of fun summer activities. Kids are not getting the break they need with year round schools. Do you agree with year round schools? If not, how would you make it better?
A student at Ste. Genevieve High School even expressed how she needs the summer break to unwind and not have to care about studying for a class when school would return to session. Another reason students may oppose this change is due to the fact High School students may hold summer jobs to earn some spending money. In certain instances, the year-round calendar may prevent students from holding these jobs or holding them for extended periods of time. One more reason students may disapprove of year-round education is because of extracurricular activities, and how they will be changed or shifted. New teachers can be affected in many ways. Unlike teachers who work in traditional school districts, they do not have the long summer to prepare and acquaint themselves for the forthcoming school year. Along with preparing lessons and assignments, teachers would not be able to take their own vacations and prepare for school
First, the pros of year round schooling can include; effects on absence and burnout rates, effects on budget, more frequent breaks, and also a big effect on academic achievement. The way that year round schooling works to reduce burnout and also reduce absences is that by having more frequent breaks; students are less likely to want to skip class. This is definitely noticeable after spring break where most schools don’t have any days off until the end of the year that is usually more than 2 months straight. In other words the “April, May, June stretch”. Year round schooling will also help students with their academics as well because with the way the schedule is set up, students do not ha...
"Summer school? Should schools be in session year-round?" Know Your World Extra 18 Apr. 2008. General OneFile. Web. 1 Apr. 2014.
In conclusion, the advantages of year-round schooling are beneficial to all. If all schools did change to year round schooling, I believe we would be able to teach all the students without having to reteach skills from previous years, it could be done during intersessions. Year-round schooling benefits both the teachers and students. Teachers are able to reflect on their teachings and adjust in time before the next session would begin. The students would feel positive about themselves in school. With this change, we may even be able to accomplish No Child Left Behind.
For years, parents and educators have debated the advantages and disadvantages of the traditional school calendar, which has long summer vacations for all students.The longer you are away from school, the more you lose what you learned in the previous year. Studies have shown that children who know English as a second language benefit the most from year-round education because during the long summer break, they may not hear English for several months. Long summer breaks is a problem for traditional schools and the solution is to substitute traditional schools for year-round schools.
Although, year round school wouldn’t be just a bad thing. For example, shorter summer breaks may decrease the amount of learning students lose. It can also mean that students are less likely to have summer learning loss. Also, students test scores lower after summer break. Therefore, some people get free or reduced meals but in the summer they wouldn’t get that. Shorter breaks would cause a hard time to find childcare and to pay childcare.
Back in the early ages, the idea of year-round school would be thought as completely insane, because the farming families depended on their children to be home during harvest time. Now in modern times, the term year-round school is becoming more and more common in the United States of America. Slowly the schools are changing the way they teach, from giving the students a long three month break to a shorter one month break during the summer. The change of America’s high schools to the year-round schedule benefits both the schools and the students because they still get breaks throughout the school year, the children are less likely to forget information, the children would have more time with the teachers to learn, and the parents would not have to pay for childcare during the long summer break.
In the United States 86% of public schools are traditional schools, this is due to the fact that traditional schools exceed year round schools. Of course a long summer sounds great but that isn’t the only reason traditional schools are better. Although you can receive the same education at a year round school that you can at a traditional school, traditional schools are better. They are better because traditional schools educate all students, have access to government funds, and have qualified
Year round school is just simply too much for students. Many families believe summers are made for creating memories and should not be spent in a school. “I don’t want my daughter enrolled in year round school because it is way too much work and stress” Most kids already have enough work as it is, plus after school responsibilities such as watching a younger sibling, cleaning up the house, or mowing the lawn. Some teenagers also might have a problem with getting a job because of year round school schedule.
Would you consider going to a school where you learn year-round? Maybe this would be your ideal school, but, when would you get to have some time to go to summer camp, or get a summer job, or play a sport with games during the day? Schools with the traditional schedule may actually be a better choice, and not just because kids love summer break. Schools should have a traditional school year schedule instead of a year round schedule because there isn’t a significant difference between the students’ performance, and year round schedules make planning family vacations hard, make the teachers’ job more difficult, and are more expensive. Also, having a summer break allows kids to participate in activities that they would not be able to do on a year round schedule due to the shorter breaks.
One reason all year-round schools should not be made for example kids need to relax their brains. If the people that run year round school don’t cancel all year-round school kids won't be able to relax and spend time with their families. Another example Summer vacation gives kids time to relax their brains and prevents students and teachers from being exhausted. Students and
In conclusion, year round education is not good an idea for the kids need a break, work experience, and poor air conditioning. YRE changes a lot in summer schedule. It makes life difficult more overloads and no breaks for the kids. The kids need a break will decrease stress and flexible schedule for the family. When they sitting in a classroom knowing public outside in different schools are having more fun in the summer must feel bad. Should we change to an YRE system? The answer is we shouldn’t. Summer is to be enjoyed not spent in the classrooms.
Every summer children lose valuable information. When school is back in session, students spend months trying to recall everything that was forgotten over those few weeks off. The arrangement of days in the academic year does play a role on how students perform in school, but not so much on the expenses. Therefore, schools should implement Year-Round education because it more affordable and is better for the children in the long run.
Should school be year-round? Well, I say yes because our young people will get done with High School faster. And if school is year round, students will not have a chance to get in a lot of trouble and they will not be able to join a gang or have time to hang on a block because they will not have a long summer break. Somebody needs to bring this problem to the school board to see if they will make the change to save many students’ lives by keeping them off the streets and keeping them in school all year long. If the children were in school longer, they would most likely turn out better, but it’s up to the people of communities to push kids through school.
The first reason why year round schooling wouldn’t be a good idea is because of focusing for long periods of times for some students. First of all, many kids with disabilities or elementary school would have a hard time focusing that long of a time without their traditional three month summer break. Second, the more breaks students have might make it harder to focus before and after breaks. Before breaks many kids would be excited to
