Persuasive Essay On Why Summer Should Be Longer?

Improved Essays
Summer is one of, if not the best season out there. To some, that is only because of the vacation that accompanies it. But that vacation flies by way too fast and is over before you know it. Too many children don’t get to do anything during Summer because they don’t have enough time. In my opinion, summer should be longer than it already is. I think a lot of children would agree with me. Here are a few reasons why I believe it should be longer.

First off, Summer flies by way too fast. 99% of everyone feels that Summer goes by too(Not an actual percentage). Some people think Summer should be short than it already is. If that is you than you are a special breed, one that isn’t part of the majority of humans. Longer Summers would allow kids to do stuff and see things they couldn’t before because there was so little time. Longer Summers would mean teachers wouldn’t have to put up with the students for as long. That would mean less stress on students and teacher. Longer summers would help everyone involved.

Many kids every year get in trouble for not having summer homework done. Some say it is because of laziness and waiting until the last minute. This may be true but only for a little bit of homework. If you have tons and tons of homework there is a good chance you would be able to finish it in time and still have fun over the summer. To teachers who give out lots of homework on summer vacation, please stop. We are not going to forget that much, maybe just a few things here are there but not the entire math

The traditional school calendar gives students 3 months of summer vacation, allowing students and teachers a much needed break. Some would argue that those summer months are the downfall to losing some of the material taught in the previous year of school. However, Kelsey also states, “Learning doesn’t have to stop for kids on long summer breaks.…
