    Would year-round school or would normal school be more beneficial for students? Some people believe that year-round school is better and are thinking about changing their school schedule to year-round. The education system should change schools to a full year schedule because students get the same amount of time off, students wouldn’t forget information as easily, and students would have a mind of clarity.

    Schools in America will spend up to 30% of their budget to provide transportation for their students. In the long run, this money could be put to better use by paying teachers a better salary. However, a year-round calendar would provide students with more learning opportunities, and would not have to catch up on work. Students that are dedicated at having a good education and excel in school wouldn't mind having school year round. With a year long calendar, students wouldn't forget everything they learned the previous year, and wouldn't have to review once they get back from vacation.…

    The Benefits Year-Round Schooling Since the beginning of time, teaching and learning has been a detrimental part of what makes us able to innovate and experience the world around us. A form of schooling introduced in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s was a year round school system (Pedersen, "The History of School and Summer Vacation"). This system allowed for more days within the learning period and allotted for students to get more out of their education. Research from all the way back to a hundred years ago has shown that students tend to lose information and their footing during a traditional summer vacation (Fairchild, "Why and how communities should focus on summer learning."). The current system most public schools within the…

Families would not prefer year-round school becauses they also would want to spend time with kids during the summer or they want to spend family time and vacations during their break and not have to worry about multiple missing assignments and grades. It puts pressure and stress on the student and their family. It would be much more difficult and stressful to have year-round school.

    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.…

    Both calendars have their pros and cons when dealing with which ones benefits the students better. Year-round Schooling (2004) maintains that “year-round schools can have more positive effects on students who are deemed at risk for academic problems, such as children from low-income families or other students who might typically be low performers in school (para. 10). Others believe that there has not been enough research done on the subject to prove any of these findings as significant, and there is no credible evidence to support this hypothesis. There are many other people who see the traditional school calendar as something that has worked so far and should not be deviated from. Still, there are a plethora of mixed opinions on whether or not year-round schooling is better than the traditional method.…

    A year round schooling schedule would also affect the school maintenance and school building. The school maintenance would “work on nights and weekends (all overtime), and some maintenance would require fifteen to twenty days to be completed” (“Year Round Education”). School buildings can handle the winter conditions; they would need to be able to handle the summer heat. If the school cannot handle the summer heat, the building would need to be remodeled. Remodeling would take time out of the instructional days in a year round…

    Children benefit from year round school because they are not in a hurry to cram everything they need to know for that year in just short nine to ten months. Teachers can slow their speed and actually teach students everything they need to know not just what they need for a test, which seems to be regular in many schools. Students will not forget the education that was taught, for they will not have summer vacation time to forget about school and what they learned from it. Cooper had done experiments on children loosing education while on summer break and his results are stunning, and cooper commented that “most students lose about two months of grade level equivalency in mathematical computation skills over the summer months”…
