Year around schooling wouldn't be so bad

Many people don’t like the idea of year around schooling but if you think about it, it would actually be that bad.
If you told teens today that they would no longer be having their long summer, many of them would be upset. Teenagers are always so excited when summer comes because they no long have to go to school for a long period of time and you don’t have to worry about anything but having fun. Most students probably don’t actually know how year around schooling works and if they did perhaps they might prefer to have year around schooling.
Year around schooling wouldn’t be so bad for many different reasons. First is the schedule. The schedule for year around schooling goes like this. Students attend school for 45 days and then get three weeks (15 days) off. The normal breaks are still built into this calendar. With this in place school would seem shorter because you don’t have to go to school for very long until you get a nice sized break. School wouldn’t seem so boring and people might enjoy going to school more because it won’t seem to carry on so long.
Second is a reason that I have face. With the long summer break we have I end up forgetting a lot of the things I learned like math. With year around schooling you wouldn’t be having the problem of forgetting things because you would only be gone from school three weeks at a time.
I think that if we had year around schooling many students’ grades would improve. They wouldn’t feel so overwhelmed because of all the work, and they wouldn’t end up forgetting things they already learned. It could possibly even improve attendance because students wouldn’t get so bored of coming to school.

  1. Year round schooling sounds like a good idea. With breaks so often school would be more bearable.

  2. I wouldnt mind year round schooling but i would not be able to stand the heat. The high school heats up so much during the spring and fall. I wouldnt even want to step in the building in july. If we had air conditioning through out the whole school. then i would do it.
