Pros And Cons Of Year Round School

Kids need a break. Just because school is year round, doesn't mean that students will get less of a break. The breaks will just be more spread out. The summer break most kids get is about three months long the year round school break averages out to about three and a half months. Would you rather get 3 months off or 3 ½ days off? Because students tend to have better educational and grade scores when school is year round, it makes sense to try to have it year round.

In addition, FEU Diliman might have problems on the shifting with the reasons stated below: ·FeuDiliman has a trimestral system. If they suddenly shift their academic calendar, April to July will be closed in business. ·If no income on April to July, FeuDiliman might increase the tuition fees of the upcoming students to compensate their loss during the months. ·Graduating students might be affected as they will have a break of four months unless they can obtain summer job to make income. ·K-12 graduate students will have a problem on enrolling to FeuDiliman as four months will be vacant.

Do you think school should be all year? Wouldn’t 3 months of extra school time help you a lot? Studies show that more then a third of students forget more than half of what they learned due to this giant summer "break" that is hurting kids and spoiling them. Isn't 3 months of sitting inside is boring? And if you don’t work for so long and just play games all month, it will become a serious problem.

Year round school should not be used in today’s school, because it threatens family plans, teacher and student burnouts, and may become costly. A child’s development is based on different experiences that sometimes can only be experienced through family time and not sitting in a classroom. Many families plan vacations during the summer. Some even sending children to camps that may give them another experience that school doesn’t offer. Some children come from separated families where summer vacation may allow a child to spend time with another

At this point in school, there is short time off on breaks. As it is very different than what schools do right now. For example, schools with year round school get much more time off.” For year round school 45 days equals 15 days off or 3 weeks off, 60 days equals out to be 20 days off .The

Firstly, free municipal education hardly ever is efficient. According to the author, almost 60% of the public school teachers do not have even an undergraduate degree (Boo 85). Mirchi and other similar schoolchildren are not likely to acquire necessary education that could have potentially helped them and their families to escape poverty. Moreover, they risk learning nothing at all since at public school they mostly “play, take recess, play again, then have lunch” (Boo 85). This is not surprising given the fact that the teachers, such as Asha, often ignore their responsibilities and do not go to school (Boo 33).

With someone in the class rooms the lights will be on so it will cost the school to pay more to have electricity. Also it might even cost the parents more money for lunches. Some of the parents don't have the money to pay for school lunches year round. One other thing that might cost lots of money is water. With students in the school year round there will be a lot more water going down the drain.

This bill should not have passed, the dropout rate had already dropped from 44 percent to 1 percent. The bill sends the wrong message even though it gives the parents the freedom to decide if their child should go to school or not. This is the only upside of the bill but if the parents dropped out then they more than likely won’t care if their own child drops out. All the bill is doing is getting rid of the unruly students and that’s not how to solve this problem(Concord). If the states established the dropout age of 18 then more students would graduate and hopefully move on to get a degree.

The alteration of the school schedule would also decrease productivity in students of all ages. It is exceedingly difficult for teenagers to focus for eight hours at a time, let alone ten. Dr. Iroise Dumontheil, author of research regarding the development of students, declared that it was not due to lack of motivation that students have trouble focusing in school. She stated, “it’s not the fault of teenagers that they can’t concentrate… Adolescents simply don’t have the same mental capacities as an adult” (A. Hill 2010). Accordingly, by asking students to remain in classes for an extra two hours a day, school systems are requesting more devotion from teenagers who cannot focus for lengthy periods of time due to their developing brains.

Also, parents would rather have their kids wear uniforms to school and on field trips to prevent their children from going missing. If a student did not have a logo on their shirt and they went missing, then no one around them would know where to safely return them or where they came from. These are reasons why schools should wear school uniforms because they provide safety. It has been argued that school uniforms do not increase one’s learning level. David L. Brunsma, PhD, Professor of Sociology at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech), co-authored a study that analyzed a national sample of 10th graders and found "no effects of uniforms on absenteeism, behavioral problems (fights, suspensions, etc.), or substance use on campus" and "no effects" on "pro-school attitudes, academic preparedness, and peer attitudes toward school.””

Students that are in school during the summer find it harder to concentrate on the work that they are doing in school because they are waiting to get out of school into the nice weather. Year round schools make it difficult to learn with many breaks that they are given which can affect them negatively in and out of school. Year round schools should give long breaks instead of many little breaks because it is shown that there is no difference in learning between year round schools and traditional schools. During 2011-2012 about 3,700 schools were all year round schools and these schools didn’t benefit students and teachers in all good ways.

If we are lucky enough to bring these programs back, they won’t be for a couple of years. Which means some students who are in school during these difficult economic times will completely miss out on the benefits of arts education. (qtd. in Hawkins). This is a shame since there have been many demonstrations of the arts being beneficial for students.

Whether Florida should go to year-round school is a new topic. Schools should not go to year-round school because teachers may not be able to find a babysitter and teachers don’t have time to tidy up. Even though year-round school helps kids remember what they learned schools should not go to year-round school. First teachers might not be able to find a babysitter for younger kids.

Year-Round Schooling in America What do you think about having multiple and longer vacations a year? How would you like not relearning the lessons you have already learned? With year-round schooling you can accomplish this. Year-round schooling offers more opportunities for the parents and students.

Year round school may seem arbitrary to the everyday person who has become accustomed to the standard 10 month cycle that most of the United States functions on. This year round style of school has started to become popular throughout the U.S., allowing students a short 2-3 week break about every 2 months to refresh their readiness to learn. This style of schooling is new to the academic world and has little study done on it thus far, but the benefits it has shown in its debut have been astounding. There are many aspects to consider when thinking of year round school including scheduling, academic benefits, and problems that may arise with this change in scheduling. Most U.S. citizens work a standard 40 hour week starting around 8 o’clock
