The question everyone's asking it should we have year round school? Well, I'm here to answer that question with a little help from Brigid Schulte on the Washington post. We should not have year round school because it can cut into family activities. Here is some thoughts from the Washington post. Still, when Mount Vernon Community School first considered the idea of going to a modified calendar a few years ago, it was a battle royale. Some middle-class parents argued that it was important for children to lie on their backs and watch the clouds for hours over a long summer break. This post is by Brigid Schulte and posted on 2009/06/05. This is why Michigan schools should not go to a year round calendar because it…
Why do we have school for 9 months straight and then lose all of the knowledge we learned because we are too busy swimming in the pool and not caring about the date of World War 2? Students should have school all year round because we can learn so much more, we won’t have to remember everything we learned from 3 months ago, and relationships between students and teachers will be much stronger.…
For this debate I am debating why school time should stay the same. J.C.M.S middle school in Sierra Vista has a delayed start time of 9:00 a.m., and finish school at 4:00 p.m. This affects the children who are involved if afternoon sports, most time not getting out until 6:00 p.m sometimes later. If you have homework that same night after spending two hours doing a sport you might procrastinate and not do your homework at all or you will be tired and end up making mistakes that should not have been made. An earlier start time ensures an earlier release time letting sports start earlier and homework being done at an earlier time while not as exhausted from the day.…
Truth be told , year round school isn't even year round, so why go if it hurts more than it helps. It affects not only the students, but the parents and teachers as well.Year round school does not benefit the students because, the students don't get to experience fun summer vacations with their families and friends, there's no actual proof of better grades, and affording childcare all year is a big issue for parents.Year round school became an issue when it first began in the 19080’s , and is still a growing problem.…
In America, most children spend all year wishing that it was summer, so that they do not have to be in school. They could probably never imagine not having those three months to do as they please. Would they be able to survive without it? As it turns out, two million of the nation’s children already do. An extended year-round school calendar would immensely improve the problem areas in the education system, including summer learning loss, the wide range of academic capabilities of students, and providing costly summer care. Jenile Jaquez, an eleven year old who attends year round school, said the following when interviewed by Time for Kids:…

In my paper I am going to inform you that I decided to go back to school to further my education for myself, to show my children that education is important and it can be done. Last, I am going to talk about how a degree with help with my career.…
Many people in today’s economy are finding it very difficult to survive financially and are frantically seeking ways to overcome that threat of losing everything they have worked so hard their entire lives to achieve. Since the job opportunities are few and far between many are turning to furthering their education, but some of us from the older generation have found it can be very frightening and challenging to return to the classroom.…
One’s introduction to high school is the foundation for higher level education and work until retirement. If the foundation is not set right, it can cause everything else to collapse. In an effort to regulate this and to help everyone succeed, schools throughout the nation are restructuring their education system by putting incoming freshmen in a separate setting from the rest of the community. While this seems like a good idea, it has some serious faults. In order to help the incoming high schoolers succeed, they need to get exposure to the setting…
Online, physically, or verbally you can be a victim of being bullied. You don’t have to keep things as they are. The question is how to handle the situation (Do you attack the bully and become the bully yourself? Or do you ignore the bully and pretend all is well?) What you do is speak up and ask for help. I would know, because not only was I a victim, I was also a person who stood by and simply watched it happen.…
According to a study conducted by EducationNext, “moving to middle school leads to a substantial drop in student test scores in the first year of the transition, and the relative achievement of middle-school students continues to decline in the subsequent years they spend in such schools.” One aspect of the educational system that I think can be vastly improved is middle school. Although middle schoolers are faced with numerous challenges, the middle school curriculum does not allow students to explore their interests and more importantly, doesn't challenge students enough. In middle school, there is not a lot of advanced coursework that students can complete. This is why I believe that middle school students should have the opportunity to take a more strenuous curriculum by allowing them to take high school classes, as this system will give students the curriculum that they need to succeed and it will give them an abundance of time to explore their interests.…
Returning to school was a big decision for me, although it was a rather hasty one. I have wanted to return for many years to seek an actual degree; however I just didn’t have the motivation. Being turned down for a promotion gave me the motivation I needed. There are obstacles and lifestyle changes for anyone returning to school. The issue is how you handle them and looking toward the benefits of finishing school. Obstacles and lifestyle changes are hard to make when returning to school, but the benefits are so rewarding.…
