Having year-round school would be beneficiary for two main reasons, better time allotments for family vacations so less kids would miss, and people in low-income homes would benefit with year long food service and assistance from staff. According to the Encyclopedia of Education, all schools that implemented year round school, have determined it successful and decided to keep it in their school. Even with some of the arguments made against year round education, the majority of people like this option. The first reason this would help our school is with more breaks, less children and families would miss school due to vacations and other trips. In a study conducted

    By:liviya tank I think that we should not have year round school. I think that we should not have it because, if we had year round school what happens if our parents are divorced and they live in different states? and for the whole summer we have to go to our dads house then how are u going to go to year round school. If they want us to remember things why don't they just give us a couple papers of math, Science, and Social Studies and if we do not do them then we would have to do something after school. On a video it said that we get the same amount of time off on year round school so what is the point of us having year round school.…

Some pros to year round schooling are that students retain more of their learning, there is saving in insurance costs,…

    I do not support the year-round school system. While there are good reasons for implementing this system, the reasons not to implement it out weigh the reasons to implement it. Test scores and curriculum taught in school is a very important thing for students, but so are things learned and experienced outside of school. Too much school could be a bad thing in the long run. There are many reasons why not to implement the year-round school system.…

    Do you really want longer school years? Making school years longer for children would make it harder because they wouldn’t do any work or not even care. One reason I think that their should not be longer school years is to have children do things outside of school. Also the shorter the school year will be the more they have to learn and study. Therefore, I believe that the more time kids spend in school the less time they'll have outside of school.…

    Should schools in the United States be year-round? There are many pros and cons to having school all year long. Students already spend enough time in a class room, they need the summer vacation to relieve stress, adventure new things or places, and even mature a bit before the next school year starts. Many public schools in the United States are facing financial problems, year-round school will only make those matters worse.…

    Many have argued if Florida schools should switch to year-round school. Florida should not switch to year-round school because it will make attending after school activities difficult and would make it harder, on parents who have to work over the time that their children are off from school. Year-round school would allow students and teachers to have more stretched out breaks instead of one long summer, that may lead to summer slide. Changing to year-round school would make everything harder so Florida should stick with traditional and not switch to year-round. First of all, after school activities including sports, music and many more are a great way for students in the community to stay active and involved.…

    My opinion about Year-round schools is that we should not have it and just leave it the same how it is. My reason why we should keep it how it is because...we (us kids) need more time outside and have fun during the summer or any of our breaks. So we can get most of our energy out before school starts. We should have a lot more time letting most of our energy out during breaks. But mostly summer break because it's hot and we need more time to let out our energy before school.…

    All year schooling is a very good idea because there would get more frequent breaks, more information can be learned, more time can be spent on topics, students could take more classes, and faculty meetings would be less frequent. One reason that schools should switch to all year schooling is because the students and faculty would get more frequent breaks. Having breaks more frequently could make it so students would actually like going to school. Students families could take trips in other season so students would be less likely to miss school to go on vacation with their families.…
