The sun blazed down at me from above as the summer heat threatened to consume me from below. I was juggling a box of bags and an armful of name tags for the exuberant summer campers, and the table twenty feet away seemed like lightyears away. When the box suddenly disappeared from my grasp, I shut my eyes and braced for the inevitable thud of it hitting the ground. I looked up to see a shadow standing over me; another teacher’s assistant had caught up with me and lifted the heavy box from my arms

The sing unites the entire camp after a week of competition, and enables everyone to finally sing the songs they had prepared so diligently to learn. After sing, the judges tally up the scores, and the entire camp community watches a photo montage of the oldest cam

Do students really want to give up their whole long awaited summer for school? The traditional school calendar is the best method because high schoolers can get summer jobs, kids can attend summer camps, and it is financially cheaper. High schoolers can not get a job if they have to go to school all year round. Kids need the money to pay for gas and food. There would be no time to do school, after-school activities, and work at a job if students went to school all year round. Having to do all of

schooling does not provide as much of an opportunity for learning as the regular school calendar. During the summer break, students can get opportunities to gain experience through summer jobs. This experience can be considered equivalent to learning in school because it provides the students to face the real world and understand what it is like. If year round schooling is implemented, then summer will be cut short and as a result, students will not have enough time to familiarize themselves with the

allow three-month summer break which enhances what students have learned over the nine months. Year round school is a bad idea because students can’t get a summer job, kids don’t get a long summer break, and teachers don’t have time to prepare for the next school year. When students go to year round schools they don’t have that much of a break so they can’t get part time summer jobs. Students would just get shorter breaks scattered through the calendar year.
