Persuasive Essay About Year Round School
In the United States, only about five percent of kindergarten through twelfth grade students are
enrolled in year–round schools (Hess). This means that instead of having an extended summer
vacation the way traditional schools do, these students have several shorter breaks, called
intersessions, throughout the school year. The number of instructional hours included in each school
calendar is the same, but there is much debate over which calendar is more beneficial. Recent
research proves that switching to year–round school calendars is advantageous for students, teachers,
and parents alike. The year–round style enhances the education experience for everyone involved
because it modernizes our outdated school systems, increases students' retention of information
while giving them, along with teachers, more frequent breaks, and makes sense logistically in a
growing population.
Perhaps the most prominent reason that the traditional school calendar needs to be updated is that
it simply no longer serves its original purpose. Summer vacation was created in a time when our
country was still dominantly agricultural and parents needed their children's help on the farm. This
worked well because academic achievement was not as important, lack of air conditioning was a
health risk in the summer, and moms were typically home to watch the kids while they were out of
school. In the 1960s, sixty percent of households were comprised of a working father, a stay at home
mother, and multiple

Persuasive Essay On Year Round School
Many schools are considering switching to year around school schedules. Some people might not
understand what this means. "Students in most American year–round school districts spend the
same amount of days in class as students in traditional calendar schools– the days are just arranged
differently, with smaller more frequent breaks throughout the year" (McMullen, 2001). Holton
should not consider this schedule because it does not improve students learning, year round school
would interfere with family vacations, and it makes trying to get a summer job for teens difficult.
Year round school does not improve student learning because as stated above students are going to
school for the same amount of time, breaks are just planned differently and no additional learning is
taking place. In the website (Research News.osu.edu) states, "We found that students in year–round
schools learn more during the summer, when others are on vacation, but they seem to learn less than

There are huge and many benefits to having a year–round school, one of those benefits is that during
summer kids forget lessons and have to go back over those lessons called the summer slide, but with
year–round schools you wouldn't need to review as much. Another reason is that less–privileged kids

Having a summer break is nice. There's the warm weather to go camping or swimming. If there was

there's snow which in recent years there hasn't been much then people that like the snow can go

Year–Round Schooling Year round schooling is utilized in numerous countries, mainly centered in
Europe. The practice integrates numerous one to three week breaks within the school year, rather
than a few breaks lasting a couple weeks and then one large break, lasting around 3 months. Studies
show that fewer long breaks, being replaced with multiple shorter ones, increases student retention of
information and they have enough time off to desire to come back to school. The practice of year
round schooling, however, is met with some adversity, both from students and parents. Students
wish to have a long summer in order to hang out with friends, and parents want the long break in
order for their families to take vacations, not to mention the fact that child care is not often available

Summer vacation, jobs, extra–curricular activities, all of these things are traditional to the three

practicality of summer jobs, and child care for the times where students do not have school and
are too young to be home alone will not be easily obtained, but there are many benefits to a
consistent learning schedule. Shorter breaks allow for a higher preservation of information, while
still allowing for students to relax and take time off. The multiple breaks for a shorter period of
time also allow for families to take vacations while not feeling obliged to be doing something at all
times. Summer breaks, in regards to the length of time, are unnecessary in multiple senses, as the

Persuasive Essay On Year Round School
Over 3,000 schools in the United States today have to go to year–round school. Year–round schools
are schools where students go to school all year around. Even though these schools have the same
number of days off as regular schools, year–round schools have more spread out breaks. For
instance, they only have a five–week summer break but have longer spring, fall, and winter breaks.
To begin with, school schedules should have a traditional summer vacation to give students time to
spend time with family, to save money, and to relieve the stress of students and teachers. Summer
vacation should not be eliminated because it gives students and teacher to spend time with family
for other important activities. Many families plan to travel and spend time with their family, but if
they only have five weeks they won't have the same amount of time to connect with their family.
According to the article "Is Summer Vacation Bad for you?" It a time for families to reconnect

How would you feel if your school district made you go to school year–round instead of getting a
summer vacation? Certain educators feel that the summer break we receive now is way too long and
students should continue school all year round with occasional breaks throughout the school year. If
the year–round school was put into place then students would receive a 3–4 week break in the
summer,longer winter break,and a week off in the spring and fall. The school year should remain
how it is including a summer vacation instead of year–round school because many students depend
on the summer vacation we already have uptain for a variety of reasons: there are many job

To start off with, let's clear up a massive misconception. Year round school tends not to have more

These students get more exposure to the language and their academic performance will excel. On a

Moving right along to there is a significant difference in the amount of high school dropouts between
traditional school and year round school. Traditional school has a five percent dropout rate while

their dropout counterparts (21803).
In addition to all of these wonderful perks, teachers get paid more! Some of the most

–round schooling
replaces breaks like summer vacation with many smaller breaks in between the school year.
Year–round school cycles are spreading quickly across the country as many consider it to be the
superior schooling cycle due to less review being required. What many schools switching to
year–round schooling don't consider is that year–round schooling can be very disruptive not only
when it comes to education, but also when it comes to people's personal lives as well. Because of
these reasons, year–round schooling shouldn't be enacted in the state of Florida. As mentioned
before, summer break is held dearly to many people. It gives both teachers and students time to
prepare for the new year. Students and teachers need the long break after being pushed to their
limit near the end of the year as well. Not to mention, once teens are old enough to bypass child
labor laws in their specific state, they'll most likely want to take a summer job. Summer jobs are

However, the two week or so breaks scattered throughout the year end up causing the students to
require review anyway. The lower amount of time required to review overall doesn't compensate for
the disruption of extra–curricular activities which can greatly improve or enrich a student's active
education.
Although there are some positives to year–round schooling, such as less time being required to
review; the cons outweigh the pros. Year–round education has a negative impact on both teachers
and students, affecting both their personal lives and their education. For those reasons, and many

The three–month summer vacation block may sound great for planning vacations, but in reality,
it's not all it's cracked up to be. By having one large vacation block, parents have to compete in the
workplace to get the appropriate time off and travel is more expensive because everyone else is
traveling. Year round schooling offers more breaks and more opportunities for everyone to take a
well–deserved vacation
9) It has the potential to solve overcrowding
Some schools with year–round schooling utilize something called the "multi–track" system.
Essentially, the school is divided into four or five different "tracks." Vacations are staggered between
the tracks in such as way so that while three out four tracks are currently in school, the other track is
on vacation. When one track returns, another track goes on vacation. By staggering vacations,
overcrowded schools can alleviate some of the stress of having too many students.
To accommodate the flux in student enrollment throughout the year, some schools have created
more flexible space within their facility. School architects have discovered using portable room
dividers allows school districts to quickly change the look and use of any given space at any time.

separate space but also allows light and vision into the area. Students have found these clear

Year–round school: It is Not What It Sounds Like
Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which one can use to change the
world." Year round school would be beneficial to students because they would have that education
year round, they would have more breaks in between, and it would even benefit the teachers.
First things first, what is year–round school? Having school year round does not mean that we go to
school non stop without stopping for any breaks except for holidays and weekends. Year round
school in its most basic definition takes a long summer break, and spreads those days off
throughout the year. So instead of two and half months of summer and not many breaks in the
middle of the school year. You would have say one month of summer vacation and those days
could be put into fall break making it two weeks break instead of three days. The basic structure
of year round school is you start with forty five days of school, then there would be fifteen days
for fall break. Then you would go back to school for another thirty days, after that you would have
three days off for thanksgiving break. Once you reach that point you have fifteen days of school
then it is christmas break, which is fifteen days off. Then you would have another fortyfive days of
school. At this point you are at spring break which gets another fifteen days of break. The final
home stretch of that school year is just forty five days then you still have thirty days to summer
break. When people talk about a "traditional calendar," they mean schools that use the more accepted
schedule, where the students and teachers are able to have two months for summer vacation.
According to results from the National Center for Education Statistics, "86 percent of public schools
in the United States operate on a traditional calendar, even though it's original purpose – so that
children could help parents harvest crops – is no longer an important consideration" (Chen two).
Now schools are starting to see how the year–round schedules are more efficient for students today,

month of summer vacation, and those days taken from summer vacation could be put into fall break
making it a two–week break instead of having only three days off. The general calendar of
year–round school is, the school year would start with forty–five days of school, and then there
would be fifteen days of fall break marking the end of the first quarter. Then, the students would go

Having breaks would reduce stress on teachers and students. Some parents can only get off work in

On other the other hand, year–round school isn't always a good idea for all schools. Some schools

with those expenses all year round. Some schools already have a problem with the growing
population of children, and that would make prices go up for the schools' funds (Morin).
Another downfall of year–round school is that not all students would go to year–round school
because their parents are would take them on vacation, and they would miss school and have to
make up the work they missed. It would reduce stress on teachers and students by having summer
break because they don't have to worry about doing homework over that time, and teachers don't
have to worry about finishing the yearbook or coming up with assignments for the students to do

Parents and kids don't spend enough time with each other and the main problem is school. Kids
already spend 7 hours every day away from one another but they also spend part of their after school
life doing projects, studying, and homework. Spending more time around one another will build trust
between children and parent. Kids will start coming to their parents for problems and parents can
give them solutions and advice from personal experiences.
Lastly, year–round school puts stress on teachers. Teachers already have to make lesson plans,
prepare projects, organize tests, and make make sub plans if needed. Since year–round school has
many small breaks teachers need to work faster which might affect the kids learning process. Plus,
teachers will have to assign the assignments not completed for homework or never got to. Also, the

Imagine a school year that gave the students one week off after every quarter and every Friday off.
Does this sound exciting and rich with possibilities? Then ask the superintendent of the school
district to consider year round school with only four days per week.First, students would not forget
what they learned over the long summer. Next, parents would not have to get day care except on
Fridays instead of the whole summer. Finally, teachers and students would have better relationships
as they spend more time together instead of being rushed. Let's take a look at some proof.
It is very common for students in the fall to have at least six weeks of review because they have
forgotten so much. Michelle Obama stated in Education today, "Our children could score higher on
every measure of testing if they didn't have such a long break between grade levels." Many
countries outscore America on math tests. This might be because math needs to be used
continually or the equations are forgotten. Ms. Obama also stated, "Many poor parents cannot
afford daycare, so they have to leave their children with older siblings while they are at work."
Public schools are paid for the government and they would be taking care of the children except for
Fridays. The elementary students would be safer in class than at home without adequate supervision.
Lastly, Ms. Obama declared, "Extended weekends mean that families would have more time together
and might take fewer vacation days during school

Persuasive Essay on Benefits of Year-Round Schooling

  • 1. Persuasive Essay About Year Round School In the United States, only about five percent of kindergarten through twelfth grade students are enrolled in year–round schools (Hess). This means that instead of having an extended summer vacation the way traditional schools do, these students have several shorter breaks, called intersessions, throughout the school year. The number of instructional hours included in each school calendar is the same, but there is much debate over which calendar is more beneficial. Recent research proves that switching to year–round school calendars is advantageous for students, teachers, and parents alike. The year–round style enhances the education experience for everyone involved because it modernizes our outdated school systems, increases students' retention of information while giving them, along with teachers, more frequent breaks, and makes sense logistically in a growing population. Perhaps the most prominent reason that the traditional school calendar needs to be updated is that it simply no longer serves its original purpose. Summer vacation was created in a time when our country was still dominantly agricultural and parents needed their children's help on the farm. This worked well because academic achievement was not as important, lack of air conditioning was a health risk in the summer, and moms were typically home to watch the kids while they were out of school. In the 1960s, sixty percent of households were comprised of a working father, a stay at home mother, and multiple Get more content on HelpWriting.net

  • 4. Persuasive Essay On Year Round School Many schools are considering switching to year around school schedules. Some people might not understand what this means. "Students in most American year–round school districts spend the same amount of days in class as students in traditional calendar schools– the days are just arranged differently, with smaller more frequent breaks throughout the year" (McMullen, 2001). Holton should not consider this schedule because it does not improve students learning, year round school would interfere with family vacations, and it makes trying to get a summer job for teens difficult. Year round school does not improve student learning because as stated above students are going to school for the same amount of time, breaks are just planned differently and no additional learning is taking place. In the website (Research News.osu.edu) states, "We found that students in year–round schools learn more during the summer, when others are on vacation, but they seem to learn less than other children during the rest of the year," said Paul von Hippel....show more content... but want if you missed a whole week of school because of your vacation so when you get back you have tons of homework.

Year–round schools are schools with around 3 week breaks, but a shorter summer with five weeks. Year–round schools also have it that students have differ break times, it also have 175–180 days like a normal school have. There are huge and many benefits to having a year–round school, one of those benefits is that during summer kids forget lessons and have to go back over those lessons called the summer slide, but with year–round schools you wouldn't need to review as much. Another reason is that less–privileged kids can't go to summer camp and don't get free lunches for 10, 11 or 12 weeks, but with a year–round school that wouldn't happen they would get free lunch all around the year....show more content... In addition we could also be more education focus, America is 17th in education out of 40 in the developed world, with Hong Kong 1st, Japan 2nd and Singapore 3rd.

  • 6. Persuasive Essay: Year-Round School Having a summer break is nice. There's the warm weather to go camping or swimming. If there was year round school wouldn't that take away from that? No, School should not go year round. The reasons for that tare because there's more to do in the summer, less family time, and harder on the family budget. First, there's more to do in 5the summer that so of the other months. December here can be a gamble with snow so most of the time there's not much to do there because it cold and if there's snow which in recent years there hasn't been much then people that like the snow can go outside and have fun unlike people that get ick easily or cold then it's no fun for them. It's rainy in the spring, and starting to get cold in fall, so one of the best times to be outside for most people would be in the summer.

There are so many more things to do in the summer, and having year round school would make less time to enjoy it....show more content... It would be hard for many reasons, one is that parents only have so many days off and with more breaks they wouldn't always be able to take time off. I the summer everything is more together and easier to plan trips that are more than a week long. Different schools would have different days off making it harder to schedule time with intermediate family.

  • 7. Persuasive Essay On Year Round School Year–Round Schooling Year round schooling is utilized in numerous countries, mainly centered in Europe. The practice integrates numerous one to three week breaks within the school year, rather than a few breaks lasting a couple weeks and then one large break, lasting around 3 months. Studies show that fewer long breaks, being replaced with multiple shorter ones, increases student retention of information and they have enough time off to desire to come back to school. The practice of year round schooling, however, is met with some adversity, both from students and parents. Students wish to have a long summer in order to hang out with friends, and parents want the long break in order for their families to take vacations, not to mention the fact that child care is not often available on a week–to–week basis....show more content... Summer vacation, jobs, extra–curricular activities, all of these things are traditional to the three month cession from school. Indeed, year round schooling will reduce the availability and practicality of summer jobs, and child care for the times where students do not have school and are too young to be home alone will not be easily obtained, but there are many benefits to a consistent learning schedule. Shorter breaks allow for a higher preservation of information, while still allowing for students to relax and take time off. The multiple breaks for a shorter period of time also allow for families to take vacations while not feeling obliged to be doing something at all times. Summer breaks, in regards to the length of time, are unnecessary in multiple senses, as the extended period of time of lethargy increases the likelihood of weight gain and a loss of previously gained Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 8. Persuasive Essay On Year Round School Over 3,000 schools in the United States today have to go to year–round school. Year–round schools are schools where students go to school all year around. Even though these schools have the same number of days off as regular schools, year–round schools have more spread out breaks. For instance, they only have a five–week summer break but have longer spring, fall, and winter breaks. To begin with, school schedules should have a traditional summer vacation to give students time to spend time with family, to save money, and to relieve the stress of students and teachers. Summer vacation should not be eliminated because it gives students and teacher to spend time with family for other important activities. Many families plan to travel and spend time with their family, but if they only have five weeks they won't have the same amount of time to connect with their family. According to the article "Is Summer Vacation Bad for you?" It a time for families to reconnect and for kids to recover from academic and social stresses of school"(Scholastic 1).

This proves that maintaining year–round schools can be expensive. The hot summer also makes it necessary for air conditioning units in all of the classroom.

  • 9. Persuasive Essay On Year Round School How would you feel if your school district made you go to school year–round instead of getting a summer vacation? Certain educators feel that the summer break we receive now is way too long and students should continue school all year round with occasional breaks throughout the school year. If the year–round school was put into place then students would receive a 3–4 week break in the summer,longer winter break,and a week off in the spring and fall. The school year should remain how it is including a summer vacation instead of year–round school because many students depend on the summer vacation we already have uptain for a variety of reasons: there are many job opportunities that students take during the summer,summer vacation allows students to travel places that are only open in the summer,and students have more time to relax and calm down from all of the stress they received from school....show more content... Who do you think helps run the show? Certainly not the adults, it's the students, students tend to depend on the summer jobs to make money for the summer. By having year–round school it limits those that need the summer jobs meaning they possibly couldn't work ,and some students support their families with that income. Students are the ones mainly operating the events that take place in the summer. Many businesses operate off of the students working. If they can't receive proper work from the students business take a risk of getting shut down.

The break dates back many years because it was first based off of agriculture. Some school in the U.S are starting to break tradition, and have year round school. This is because many studies show that the long break will cause students to dismiss the information from their mind and can impact their academic abilities. School should be year round because there are many benefits to the students academic abilities. To start off with, let's clear up a massive misconception.

These students get more exposure to the language and their academic performance will excel. On a similar note, many minority and poverty stricken students tend to excel because year round school keeps them on task and out of trouble as well as develop a closer relationship with the instructors (21803). Moving right along to there is a significant difference in the amount of high school dropouts between traditional school and year round school. Traditional school has a five percent dropout rate while year round school has a dropout rate at less than half at a staggering two percent according to a 2016 study (21803). Also, high school graduates are proven to earn about 11,000 dollars more than their dropout counterparts (21803). In addition to all of these wonderful perks, teachers get paid more!

  • 11. Persuasive Essay: Year-Round School Year–Round School Essay Summer break is often looked towards as the highlight of people's year. Year –round schooling replaces breaks like summer vacation with many smaller breaks in between the school year. Year–round school cycles are spreading quickly across the country as many consider it to be the superior schooling cycle due to less review being required. What many schools switching to year–round schooling don't consider is that year–round schooling can be very disruptive not only when it comes to education, but also when it comes to people's personal lives as well. Because of these reasons, year–round schooling shouldn't be enacted in the state of Florida. As mentioned before, summer break is held dearly to many people. It gives both teachers and students time to prepare for the new year. Students and teachers need the long break after being pushed to their limit near the end of the year as well. Not to mention, once teens are old enough to bypass child labor laws in their specific state, they'll most likely want to take a summer job. Summer jobs are vital to jump–starting a career, and when your summer...show more content... However, the two week or so breaks scattered throughout the year end up causing the students to require review anyway. The lower amount of time required to review overall doesn't compensate for the disruption of extra–curricular activities which can greatly improve or enrich a student's active education. Although there are some positives to year–round schooling, such as less time being required to review; the cons outweigh the pros. Year–round education has a negative impact on both teachers and students, affecting both their personal lives and their education. For those reasons, and many more, year–round schooling should not be implemented in the state of Florida, or any state for that Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 12. Persuasive Essay On Year Round School The three–month summer vacation block may sound great for planning vacations, but in reality, it's not all it's cracked up to be. By having one large vacation block, parents have to compete in the workplace to get the appropriate time off and travel is more expensive because everyone else is traveling. Year round schooling offers more breaks and more opportunities for everyone to take a well–deserved vacation 9) It has the potential to solve overcrowding Some schools with year–round schooling utilize something called the "multi–track" system. Essentially, the school is divided into four or five different "tracks." Vacations are staggered between the tracks in such as way so that while three out four tracks are currently in school, the other track is on vacation. When one track returns, another track goes on vacation. By staggering vacations, overcrowded schools can alleviate some of the stress of having too many students. To accommodate the flux in student enrollment throughout the year, some schools have created more flexible space within their facility. School architects have discovered using portable room dividers allows school districts to quickly change the look and use of any given space at any time. One company, Screenflex Portable Partitions, even offers clear room dividers to designate a separate space but also allows light and vision into the area. Students have found these clear dividers useful to use as dry erase boards during group discussions and team Get more content on HelpWriting.net
  • 13. Persuasive Essay: Year-Round School Year Round School For most people they don't like school. People look towards those nice long summer breaks. however a lot of things happen over the summer, the main thing that happens is that students tend to forget everything they learned during the previous school year. By the end of the the first month of summer, all that knowledge has leaked out of the brain. Then when the students return in the fall, the first month of school is wasted by re–teaching students what they should have already learned last year. It would be beneficial for students if every school went to year round school There is a solution. If schools switched to year round classes the teachers would be able to move on with work instead of wasting time teaching students...show more content... If so what? The ability to retain information is the biggest benefit, that would be worth the shorter breaks throughout the year. It would be really beneficial to the students who are doing bad in school could use year round school to their advantage because they wouldn't forget anything and even if they did it would be very little but forgetting a little is better than forgetting a lot and if that would improve their academic scores on tests the SAT or the ACT and that would lead to better colleges overall year round school would improve academic scores Secondary /04/districts–weigh–pros–and–cons–of–year–round–schools–2/ This year, multiple schools adopted year–round schedules to hopefully help them improve academically.

  • 14. Persuasive Essay About Year Round School Year–round school: It is Not What It Sounds Like Nelson Mandela said, "Education is the most powerful weapon which one can use to change the world." Year round school would be beneficial to students because they would have that education year round, they would have more breaks in between, and it would even benefit the teachers. First things first, what is year–round school? Having school year round does not mean that we go to school non stop without stopping for any breaks except for holidays and weekends. Year round school in its most basic definition takes a long summer break, and spreads those days off throughout the year. So instead of two and half months of summer and not many breaks in the middle of the school year. You would have say one month of summer vacation and those days could be put into fall break making it two weeks break instead of three days. The basic structure of year round school is you start with forty five days of school, then there would be fifteen days for fall break. Then you would go back to school for another thirty days, after that you would have three days off for thanksgiving break. Once you reach that point you have fifteen days of school then it is christmas break, which is fifteen days off. Then you would have another fortyfive days of school. At this point you are at spring break which gets another fifteen days of break. The final home stretch of that school year is just forty five days then you still have thirty days to summer break. When people talk about a "traditional calendar," they mean schools that use the more accepted schedule, where the students and teachers are able to have two months for summer vacation.
