Middle School Case Study
Dr Ellena,

I have been informed that Tomahawk Creek Middle School is considering a year-round schedule. I understand that this means that there will be three-week breaks after each nine weeks, instead of one long summer break. I respect the school board’s decision, but I believe that this may be a colossal failure. Please consider these points that may have been overlooked. First of all, this means we will be in school during August. We will not have that long for maintenance or repairs to happen. Also, a new dress code would have to be created for the summer. Our school breaks will not be aligned with other schools, throwing off entertainment businesses. And on beautiful days, we will be in our school classes. Something else to consider,

    Pros And Cons Of Year Round School

    When most people hear the words “year-round school” they automatically disagree without knowing all the information about the subject. The fact is that year-round schooling is becoming more popular around the United States and even the world. It is the twenty-first century, most school systems are shying away from the more traditional school schedules and turning to year-round schooling. In 1992, 25% of the United States attended year-round schools, 17.3% higher than in 1988. Therefore, in just four short years the percentage of year-round school more than doubled (Gándara). Year-round school could become a reality for all of America, maybe sooner than expected.…

    Why We Should Have Year-Round Schooling

    Schools should be year-round because of many factors like the fact that year-round schooling can generate strong feelings. A 1994 report, “Prisoners of Time,” argued that “a departure from the traditional school calendar could better meet the needs of contemporary society and result in increased student achievement.” Research has also shown that year-round schooling does have an effective on students. Reviews of existing literature on this subject generally contend that the achievement of children in year-round schools is as good as, or slightly better than, that of their peers in traditional schools (Palmer & Bemis, 1999; Kneese, 1996). Another example would be a study on six elementary schools where year-round schools posted overall-test-score increases that was higher than those of traditional schools (Kneese, 2000). Schools should also be year-round because the common belief is that after a long three-month summer break, students are forgetting what they learned the previous year and teachers are wasting valuable time trying to review everything from the previous year. A review of 39 studies that has been conducted showed that students test scores drop over summer vacation and that mathematics…

    Essay On Year Round School

    Have you ever considered switching to year round schooling? Here are some reasons not to switch, the summer time is packed and expensive, it’s harder for students and teachers, and finally there is a greater possibility for brain drain. In the article “Top 10 Reasons Why Year Round School is a Good Idea,” it states that by having one big vacation block, travel is more expensive. No matter the amount of time you get for summer you will still wind up spending more because both of the summer breaks, for year round and regular schooling, are during the summer months which are when airlines raise their prices. Also, by having less time off there is less time to play sports and hangout with family which is what most kids, like myself, look forward too. Another statement from the article said that breaks that are frequent are good for both students and teachers. With more frequent breaks the teachers will have to cram in all the information before each break. Students look forward to days off of school, but if breaks are more frequent, then they won’t get as excited because the breaks happen so…

    By going to the year round school system there is no longer the long three-month summer break. However without the summer break it allows for schools to make for more frequent, weeklong, breaks throughout the year.

    Year Long School Year

    Many schools in the United States are beginning to change their school calendar so their students attend class all year round. The changes still allow the students time off in the summer, but they do not have the three months of break most students in America receive traditionally. Instead, they get a break of a couple weeks in the summer, and the remainder of the time is divided up and put into other breaks throughout the year. All schools in America should switch to a year-round calendar to accommodate the different and higher level of learning needed to be successful in our changing world and society. The traditional school system was designed many years ago when our country was an agricultural nation. Therefore, the school calendar was developed having a long break in the summer so students could assist their family with cultivating crops and other aspects of farm life. The traditional school calendar was not a calendar for higher learning, and should be extended to meet the needs of modern day students. There are many explanations as to why the traditional school calendar should be changed.…
