Panama City Beach is a beautiful place to vacation. However, whether someone is a spring breaker or an older couple they will probably have different times they visit the beach. Panama City during spring break might be a bit overwhelming for an older couple. They probably will not have a good time if they visited during spring break. It is more enjoyable for an older couple to vacation in Panama City Beach during a weekday than it is during spring break because, there are no parties, it is cheaper, and it is less crowded.…
Joining a year round school allows students to learn more information at an accelerated rate. Studies have shown that students are more likely to forget important information over summer break than they are to forget over a short break that year-round schools offer (Yeager).…
Frequent breaks in the school year allow students and teachers to recharge themselves, be more active in class, and have higher academic achievement. Students and teachers can get tired if they have ongoing class for ten months without a break big enough to recharge. Some of the illnesses that people could have fought off when they were fully rested could make them sick and make more people absent (edweek.org). Absences due to illnesses can be sustained by year round school because of the time to recharge and can raise their academic achievement by having more time in class than when they would usually be sick. Although summer vacation may be fun, having frequent breaks in the school year can help students retain their knowledge and have higher academic achievement (nea.org). Retaining knowledge because of shorter summer breaks…
Having multiple breaks during the school year would actually benefit the students by quite a bit. Most students get exhausted about how long they have until the next break, but in year-round school the students can take rest their brains with all these breaks. The students will not become as stressed with all the long, hard working days. This also gives time for one to refresh their brain. Not only will these breaks…
With the 9 week long break from school students lose much more information. Students lose a month of information they were taught the year before during their summer break. Once non year round schools return to school teachers are having to reteach most of the information that the students learned the year before. 24% of teachers spend the first five to six weeks of school reteaching material that the student has already learned. Non year round students score lower on test at the end of the summer than they do at the beginning. Non year round students have not been in class for an extended amount of time so they generally forget what they were taught the school year before.…
Last year I was chosen to be a part of an Alternative Spring Break that focused on harvesting communities with migrant farmworkers in Immokalee, Florida. There, we learned about the injustices migrant farmworkers faced both in the fields and in their community and volunteered at locations that gave us an insight into their day-to-day life. Prior to our trip, we read articles depicting the discrimination most of the farmworkers face due to their immigration status, as well as articles on laws aiming to help workers earn their fair share. While reading an article on the increasing poverty levels in Immokalee, we decided that making an impact in the community did not have to last a week.…
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…
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…
Most importantly, year-round school would cause students to be exhausted. Even with the several shorter breaks, students would probably feel that they would be constantly working and stressed. Continuing to give students a longer break would allow them to rest and come back to school strong and ready for the upcoming year. A two or three month break is important to kids because they can be rewarded for a demanding school year. Summer allows children to balance work and play, which is important. Admittedly, some may argue that summer vacation causes children to forget everything, and this causes them to have to relearn and review forgotten concepts at the start of each new year. However, in my personal experience I have noticed that myself and others forget concepts just a few weeks into break, as opposed to a couple months into break. I have also noticed that after shorter vacations such as winter/spring break, kids come back needing a refresher of what they learned. Having to review concepts once a year is exhausting enough for both teachers and students. Imagine if this had to be done several times a year! It would defeat the purposes of having year-round school…
Summer break is a time when teachers and students recharge from the past school year.…
We should have school vacations over year round school, so because people can go on vacations during the summer. Another reason why is because year round schools takes time out of the student's family plans. I am going to Florida this summer, and if we had year round school I wouldn't be able to go without knowing what the teachers are teaching. Also I would have a lot of homework to make up.…
Argument Two - Secondly, with the many breaks that come during the school year, families will have more opportunities to go on more vacations instead of having one per year. According to Certificationmap.com, “Year-Round School Pros and Cons” many families do appreciate having more vacations throughout the year.…
First of all, the year-round calendar is becoming more and more popular around the United States. According to Emily Johns of the Star Tribune Twin Cities, there are at least 26 year-round schools in Minnesota alone. The growing popularity of year-round schools is because of less regression at the end of the summer. Students enjoy the alternate calendar’s breaks. As you can see in the pie charts, the breaks for all-year schools are more spread out compared to the nine-month calendar’s breaks. Teachers like the year-round calendar because they don’t have to re-teach as much information as other schools. Also, some year-round schools use the short breaks for enrichment remediation, which helps the struggling students stay on track throughout the year, instead of going to summer school.…
All the seasons of the year have special qualities, but winter is without a doubt my favorite season. One of the reasons i enjoy winter is because of the beautiful snow and all the activities you can do with it. Another reason why I love winter is because my family loves making the best of the holidays, bringing such happiness between everyone in my family. Winter break is a great time for me to get away from reality for some time and to enjoy life.…
