The Harmful Effects Of Year-Round Schools

Decent Essays
Year Round School is causing many problems all over the U.S. For example coming from Glori Chaika, some schools even have to start earlier because of the effects of year round school. During the summer schools starts at 6:50 A.M and ends at 1:10, this is because the school wants kids to be able to participate in P.E, but they can not if it is 110 degrees out. This shows that the schools are in a big loss of not only education but costs too. If the school can not even pay for air conditioning anymore then we should not have Year Round School; it will negatively affect families and students.

    Each year, school districts are faced with a growing population of students. The issue with this is that many districts have a shortage of school facilities, and they are limited to the amount of money they can spend on each of these facilities.

    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").
