First, if you get lots of breaks during the year, Why not do year-round school? It also helps you because with summer when you get back to school after summer you are still in the summer mood so your not getting the things done that you usually would and that leads to bad grades on testes and quizzes witch ultimately leads to having bad grades on your report card and what people are trying to do is to have that not happen to you by having year-round school.…
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…

Year round schools is a good idea because students will be able to retain the information they learned at school. On the other hand it would interfere with the students long deserve break. Some students work their butts off in school so they could get good grades in the end of the school year. So summer break would help them recuperate or give them a chance to do summer jobs to earn some money. Having year long schools wouldn’t just affect the students, it would also affect family trips.…
One of the major benefits of year-round school is that it aids students in a way that they can increase their overall grade. Students are less likely to forget what they have previously learned in school due to the lack of large breaks in the school year. Most importantly, there is more time. More time for school means more time can be devoted to each unit or section of material a teacher is covering. Less pressure to learn information in two weeks or even a month can help students apply their new knowledge to the long-term memory and gives more time for student to comprehend ideas in a more complex manor.…

Students love their summers, but their brains don’t. Children tend to forget significant information over the three month break. Year-round schools offer a decent break, so students are refreshed and ready to go back to school. Three months might not sound so long, but it's all about perspective. Three months for a ten-year old is nine months for a thirty-year old. Could you take nine months off and work as well as before? (Screenflex Portable Partitions 7) Year-round schools don’t only benefit to students but teachers as…
If school was all year round students will learn more, it will help students stay focused. It will also help teachers and stuff with more jobs security. That will give the parents more time together to plan trips and vacations. It will also leave a lot of stress off their parents because they will know that they are at school and not in the streets doing whatever. I feel there will be less breaking in housing, killing and robberies.…
Year-round schools are good,and I do prefer them. There are reasons for this. One reason is because they have a better schedule than what we have now. Most year-round schools go for the 45-15 plan. This is when they go to school for 45 days,…
The possibility of year round schools has been a hot debate topic for quite some time. The question is, is the idea of year round schools acceptable considering all the potential drawbacks? Year round schooling can be disruptive to both the family of the students and the teachers themselves, it can be too costly for a large group of people, and year round schools do not provide the same opportunity for learning as the traditional school year does. For several reasons, the traditional school year, which runs for ten months instead of eleven, is more beneficial in comparison to year round schooling.…
Some costs for traditional schooling are electric bills, transportation bills, building upgrades, and salaries. Year-round schooling encounters the same type of costs but with a variation on how much the price is. Year-round schooling requires maintenance to be done on the weekends because of the shorter summer break resulting in overtime pay. Extra staff and transportation may be needed which therefore makes the price skyrocket. There is also an increase in administrative costs for new creating the schedules. Operation costs increase because of the higher use of air conditioning during the summer. Building upgrades may be needed if a school is switching from a traditional schooling schedule to a year- round schooling schedule, such as more classroom space. This will prevent overpopulation. The cost for year-round schooling just keeps increasing…
Year-round education is sometimes introduced as an academic remedy and sometimes as a logistical necessity. Advocates for both often describe the traditional school year as outdated, based on an agricultural calendar, and not suited to modern society’s needs or structure. There are many reasons for and against all year round school.…
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.…
