Should school be year around?
I do not support the idea of schools being year round. Yes, in other countries, there are year round schools. Here’s the kicker, they give you a test to see if you can continue your education or not. In the United States, however, you go to school from maybe pre-K to kindergarten to 12th and maybe on to college. If I went around to everyone at my school and asked them if there should be year round schools. The answer would be extremely obvious. Everyone would say NO! I can see why boards are considering this. Higher standardized test scores means that the school is held up with respect. They don’t consider the amount of resistance they’ll face. Children love summer and teachers love summer because they can
