Opening Statement: By revised I mean, should the modern school system be applied to today’s school system? Which means that students, teachers, faculty, and staff would be required to attend school year-round. Many claim that this system has the potential to create successful American students. However, school is a big aspect of each student’s life, it is not everything. There is no guarantee that students would even benefit from year-round school years. There are more reasons to value summer vacation. In either system, no summer or summer, students receive a break. The question is, which break should be put into effect?

3.)America wants to compete internationally, and to be the best we must have year-round school years.
a.)To be the best we do not have to work until we cannot work anymore. It’s the quality of the education that counts. And there is no absolute evidence that proves that year-round school years in America would benefit American students as well as it does students in Japan, South Korea, etc.
4.)Students will not experience burnout, they will have periodic breaks throughout the year.

So essentially, periodic “breaks” are not really breaks at all. It would be in the student’s best interest to come back to school, and study a brand new subject.
5.)Our 180-day school year is based upon our agrarian past, so why include it into today’s school
