If you get bored during the summer you might like year round school. However I don’t think year round school would be any fun. First off my parents work in the army and like many other jobs the army gives you only a few days to take off work. Therefore they would not be able to watch my siblings or myself. Secondly in summer it is warm and you can do so many things, but in the winter it is freezing. I would much rather prefer one long break when it’s warm than a bunch of smaller breaks year round

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? You better hope that America chooses the latter. Counterarguments: 1.)Students will lose months of educational learning.

When you think about the climate, landscaping and activities they are so different. The only thing they have in common, both places are beautiful in their own way and people love to vacation there throughout the year. The mountains of Maine are truly beautiful, especially when covered in sparkling, white blankets of snow

Ever think about how the school years would be different if there was year round school. Think about if we would have more vacations, no summer camps, and more learning. Wonder about how bad it would be with more school days and learning. Now here are some examples of why Year round could be a good thing. At the end of the traditional calendar kids like the fact that summer is here and they can go out and spend time with friends, but imagine how that would feel every two weeks ´really´ wouldn't

Should you give up Summer Vacation? From my view, we should give up summer vacation and move onto year round schools.. THe United States only have 4% of public students going to a year round school. This has to change. In Illinois there are only 59 year round schools. If we increase the amount of schools that support year round school there will be a big change in society. To start it of the primary reason to use school uniforms is for the fact that you can reduce stress. When students have

Summer vacation is a time for students and teachers alike to relax and recharge from the stress and exhaustion caused by school. Some say schools should be open year-round to decrease the summer slide and help less fortunate families, but they ignore one crucial thing: students' and teachers' mental and emotional state. Schools should maintain summer breaks because of the toll school has on students' and teachers' health, the development of soft skills from summer jobs, and the median results from

would be to have year-round schooling? Why in the world would you take away your precious summer vacation? Do you want us to die in a burning, hot classroom? In this essay, I will state my three ideas on why year-round schooling is a terrible idea. In the event that most schools have every kid on different breaks, that means families with multiple kids would most likely not be able to have family vacations. Not to mention, if you and your friend(s) are on different breaks, that means you wouldn’t

Planning Your Perfect Vacation Choosing a destination for your vacation may be the easiest part of planning the whole trip but planning the details of it is the hard part. Some people have it down to a science and some do it all last minute. When you wait until the last minute to plan your trip it can end up being very expensive. I prefer to keep it simple and take my time planning my trip, keeping it as stress free as possible. The first step in planning your vacation is choosing the destination

christmas vaction we don't have barley any breaks until spring break, and that is 3 months. First off one of the main reasons we should have year round school would be so we can remember all the information we learned in the previous year. When we have summer break, we don't always remember everything when we come back to school in August. I believe setting up the school calendar with a 45-15-day schedule will keep students on track from one grade to the next. The 45-15-day schedule is when you go

This break is normally around 2 months long, however some teachers feel like this is too long and should be shortened.

days off in winter it does not allow the students to hang with their friends as much as would be liked. When the students are released for summer break they make plans for family trips, trips with friends, and allow themselves some free time to be alone. This is not always possible within the three months that would be released for summer break. To further my reasons on why not to have year-round school is what is the point of increasing the amount of time off in winter when the weather is the judge

Shattuck middle school should not not change/switch to year-round schooling and should stick to the traditional school-year (9 months schooling, and 3 months of vacation).

It truly was a culture shock in the beginning of my travels to Europe, but quickly learned to appreciate the differences and grasp a whole new meaning to the world we live in. Swedes do a lot of things different; how they greet each other, speak to strangers passing by, and even how and when they eat.
