Last spring break I was hoping to relax and have fun. Most of my friends had left to go to the beach and enjoy their week off of school. I was hoping to do the same, but my spring break was not what I had planned. When I had got home from school I learned my grandma had fallen and was in the hospital. Over the next month my family struggled, but ultimately came together to support and encourage my grandma throughout her recovery. When I came home Friday after school, I was ready to sit down and…

The very foundation of the human race’s dominance or superiority over all other species in life is the intellectual knowledge we have obtained over a period of time. With that in mind it is very important…

Many flowering plants bloom this time of year, continuing into early summer. Spring is seen as a time of growth, renewal, of new life (both plant and animal) being born. It seems like everything that was dead and dreary looking has been given new life. All of the trees begin to show new buds and come to life.…

Here is the holiday time, it is summer again and the favorite period for many young and old people. How can we save our family from the hot temperatures in the next days? What our body needs?

It rids of most of summer vacation and replaces it with extra months of schooling.

Some sports start as soon as the summer starts, and if students were going to a year-round school they would miss out on many opportunities that they would have if they were off for the entire summer. Any activity or event that a student could participate in during the summer would be affected by this year-round schedule (NEA 1). A student who partakes in a very demanding sport, such as baseball,…

You could also have a…

In an all year school, that summer vacation is broken up into numerous shorter breaks that occur throughout the year while still following the 180 day school calendar.
