Year-Round Schooling In Public Schools

Many people in America believe that education systems seem to be declining rather than improving. One of the solutions offered to combat the declining quality of education is year-round schooling; thereby allowing students to go to school for a shorter period of time in a year and have longer breaks between periods throughout the year as opposed to the more common type in which there are ten months of schooling and then a two-month summer break. I believe that all students should have a break where they can take the necessary amount of time allotted to relieve themselves from the stress of a busy schedule. Public schools should not have year-round schedules because they are ineffective, would lower student’s grades, and result in less time for students to relax and participate in extracurricular activities.

Year-round schooling is a relic of the past, and it did not yield favorable results.

Year-round schooling can cause students to become more stressed out versus traditional schooling. As we have seen the different pros and cons, I would like to firmly state that public year-round schooling shouldn’t be implemented in our education system. I do not believe in it for our current generation or any future ones. Many students do not need the strict structure of year-round schooling, as they are becoming increasingly smarter. Year-round schooling, like many other ideas, has its pros and cons but can be steadily confirmed as ineffective. We see more young children beginning to develop higher standards for themselves at a young age with each passing year. I believe it is good to have such big expectations, but that child should also develop short-term goals alongside their long-term goals. Year-round schooling will prevent many brilliant children to get where they want to go outside of their classrooms. However, they should implement their minds into the balanced calendar
