Persuasive Essay About Summer Over Time

Decent Essays
Can you believe how quickly the summer seem to be going by. In just three weeks the kids will be back in school here in Colorado. While most love summer and the sunshine, I'm not totally a big fan. I do however prefer summer over winter, but just not the scorching weather that we have been having lately. Temperatures have been soaring in the 90's and while we haven't reached 100 degrees quite as yet, we might as well be. The weather has kept me indoors and my water delivery has even been increased because we've been drinking a lot more water to stay hydrated. You don't want to be found dehydrated in weather such as this. I'm a big fan of slushy's, and you would find me at my local 711 or even at my Post Exchange gas station, because there is always a deal on slushy's during the summer months. I've however found a great way to make my own and today I'll be sharing with you my Watermelon Lemonade Slushy. If you love watermelons and if you love slushy's then you will be sure to love this. It's a hit with the kids and adults alike. Who doesn't love slushy's? …show more content…

Grandview Ave Dubuque, Iowa 52003 9/22/15 Stan Rheingans 2300 Chaney Road Dubuque, Iowa 52001 Dear Mr. Stan Rheingans: Summer break is great in all, but year-round school will allow students to still get a break every once and a while and they won’t forget as much as they would have over the summer.

    Author of research paper Karen walker Rough draft Did you know that year round schools have a 2% dropout rate nearly three percent lower than schools without the year round program. More schools should make the change to the year round program and join the 3081 schools and 46 states currently employing the year round program. Opponents of the year round school argue that student need a long summer break to catch up on lost sleep, and lose stress. By employing the year round school program schools will provide students with short breaks spread out throughout the year decreasing student teacher burnout, eliminate the summer learning slide further reducing time spent reviewing, and increase the amount of new material learned which in turn increases test scores as well as enrichment and therefore, US schools should rely on the year round program to further boost the education of Americas schoolers. First of all, year round school has short breaks…

    Dear, State Legislature This is how I feel about year-Round schooling. I do NOT agree with year round schooling for these reasons.

    The Mill Valley High School Board members should reject the proposed idea of a later school day because it is beneficial to students with after school activities such as sports and jobs. The idea that a later school day is beneficial towards students is preposterous because students with after school activities and jobs would need to be out of school at an earlier hour. Take John Sherwood’s testimony for example. He complains, “But it’s going to make football practice a nightmare. We won’t be able to be dressed and on the field until 4:45, and in October, it starts getting dark by 5:30...…

    Despite the new outburst of year-round schooling across the nation, I have the firm belief that we should retain the traditional system. Most schools who have switched to the year round calendar switched back to the traditional one because the anticipated instructional advantages haven’t materialized. In some cases, it even results in a drop of one to two percentile points in national rank for reading, math, and language scores, compared to a traditional calendar. It is not a good idea to keep making this change.…

    If school is all year round there will be drastic changes in the american lifestyle. For example school being all year round would be a problem for children because year round school will not give students enough family time. This is the case because sometimes parents like to take a vacation, or a break once in awhile. Therefore the government should let schools have a break during the school year so that children can have time to spend with family and friends. There are many more problems such as parents would have to make scheduling adjustments, and year round school won’t give students enough time to spend with family and friends, and year round school would cost more money.…

    Spring has sprung in Arizona, which means that everyone is coming out of hibernation from our “cold” winter. It also means that it’s time for a spring break trip to Cabo, spring training games, Coachella, and more importantly, crop tops and tank tops, but Arizona weather is known for being very unpredictable during this time of the year, it could be 90 degrees and sunny one minute, and the next minute it could be 64 degrees and raining, so wearing pants is still socially acceptable. There is really no better way of transitioning into spring than by wearing tank tops. My fashionista is a cropped tank top in army green, with knitted details bordering the laced-up neckline. Army green and shades of brown have always been one of my favorite…

    In the winter you don’t have to worry about bee nests or a mosquito biting you, whereas in the summer, you are always checking for bugs. Lastly, you are a fool not to admit that you lose more knowledge in the summer than any other part of the year. Winter break is better than summer break. You aren’t losing knowledge during winter break because it is a shorter amount of time that you are away from school. While summer break does involve a long vacation from school, often it’s filled with job searches and preparation for the following year.…
