    The writing expected from college courses is one that most are unfamiliar with. Although students learn basic English skills throughout grade school and up to high school, most of the advanced steps are forgotten by the time the student is to enter college. Paired with this, are the nontraditional students, who haven’t studied advanced academic language for long periods of time.

Most schools who have switched to the year round calendar switched back to the traditional one because the anticipated instructional advantages haven’t materialized.

It is not a good idea to keep making this change.…
