Year-Round School
Year-Round School
Imagine yourself on summer vacation. It’s warm and the weather is beautiful.Though this vacation might sound good, imagine the boredom you will feel after three long months of doing almost nothing. Summer seems to have lasted forever, and once you go back to school, you hardly remember anything that you had learned last year. Now imagine school in November. You’ve been at it for three months, and you’re struggling to get through. School might seem to be dragging on and on. With year-round school both of these scenarios can be changed for the better. All of this leads me to believe that more freshmen should support going to a year-round school system. Many students would enjoy the multiple breaks that a year-round school system …show more content…
First of all, people might assume that since the summer vacation is shorter, it cannot possibly be better than the summer vacation that they already have. However, there are multiple reasons why year-long school summer vacations are better than regular vacations. First off, students do not get as bored over the summer of year-round school. Speaking from personal experience, regular summer vacation can almost seem too long. When it gets close to the month of August, summer seems like it has drug on forever. Students start to get bored of summer, and they want the interaction with their peers, that they cannot always get over summer. They want to see their friends again, especially the ones that they did not get to see over the summer. With year-round school, this happens less. The summers are shorter, but it allows students to see their friends sooner. It also gives a faster relief of the boredom that many kids suffer after the long months of doing almost nothing at home. Another benefit provided by year-round school is that students do not forget all of their material over summer vacation. Again, summer is long, and students forget almost everything they learned the past year over the vacation. With a shorter summer, like the one provided by year-round school, students will be likely to forget less of the material they learned over the course of the school year. If students forget less of the material that they learned, then they can start at a more advanced spot when they return. If students start more advanced, they will ultimately be able to learn more throughout the course of the year, which further benefits their education. Overall, even summers can be improved by changing to a year-round school
