year long schooling debate
Hello, this is my first speech today. At your leisure.
Nowadays, many people are arguing whether year round schooling may have positive influences on students. I believe that the bill to implement year round schooling in all public schools should NOT be passed. The following reasons will support my idea.
First, year round schooling will cost more to run the school. Air-conditioning, extra transportation costs and other expenses will bring heavy financial burden to the school.
Although the government usually gives school financial aid, the school should still save its budget, right? (stop)
What’s more, it’s harder to make major repairs when classrooms are empty for short periods. As we all know, our school usually repair facilities and build new buildings during the summer holiday. The above information is from an article in New York Times.
The second reason is that only a few schools are doing that. According to an article from Huff Post, the most recent data from the national center for education statistics found 14% of United States public schools were on year-round calendars. We can find that most schools are not doing that.
The third reason is that more and more schools are abandoning year round schooling calendars. For instance, according to a poll from www.youdebate.com, Prince William County in Virginia returned to a traditional calendar after 9 years operating year round schooling. The reason is that teachers found students made less academic improvement in summer school, as well as few cost benefits and parent reaction. They discovered there were not enough advantages to outweigh the disadvantages. In fact, most people think that summer is a time to relax and learn new knowledge from places out of school such as museums and nature, but not keep studying at school. (stop)
According these reasons, please support my idea that not to pass the bill to implement year round schooling in all public schools, thank you!
