Why Is Spring Break Important
Spring break is important because it allows students to take a breather. The schedule of needing to wake up at seven or eight in the morning really takes a toll on them. Spring break allows the bodies of the students catch up with them, should they want to. I liked my spring break. Wouldn't say I loved it or even really liked it, but it was nice. For starters, I saw the movie Logan which I found to be really good, and I got to see it with my parents and my brother, who all have an affinity for comic books and superheroes. I got to sleep until ten and one of the days I slept until a bit shy of high noon. I got a lot more rest than I was ever able to in my life, basically. I texted my friends over spring break, played videogames with

    It can be hard for us to consistently give our best effort in school if there is not a longer weekend. It can be difficult for us to wake up early in the morning, before there is light outside, and efficiently work for seven hours at school. A longer weekend can help us gain more sleep time and relax from our previous week at school. Some of us may use this extra break to catch up on school work. Sometimes we may need a longer weekend to go on small vacations. A longer weekend can us time to pursue a job to earn some extra money for the many things that us teenagers must have. A longer weekend gives us more time to make choices on our own, instead of always being instructed by the school system.…

    According to Jaclyn Zubrzycki, who wrote an article for edweek.org, “Others cite the financial toll involved in switching the calendar. Tourism and other industries that count on summer vacation might suffer. High schoolers might be less able to get summer jobs. And the transition brings added costs to school districts, which have to pay for (and sometimes install) utilities in buildings, stipends for teacher, or other associated expenses.” This leads to the assumption that without summer break, schools don't have enough time to add new facilities or repair facilities.…

    Frequent breaks in the school year allow students and teachers to recharge themselves, be more active in class, and have higher academic achievement. Students and teachers can get tired if they have ongoing class for ten months without a break big enough to recharge. Some of the illnesses that people could have fought off when they were fully rested could make them sick and make more people absent (edweek.org). Absences due to illnesses can be sustained by year round school because of the time to recharge and can raise their academic achievement by having more time in class than when they would usually be sick. Although summer vacation may be fun, having frequent breaks in the school year can help students retain their knowledge and have higher academic achievement (nea.org). Retaining knowledge because of shorter summer breaks…

    As a matter of fact, for the diligent, unceasingly studying students that we are, there would be nothing for us to do during break, a three week long limbo; no beach to go to, no families to visit, no parties to attend, no friends to go out with, no museum to explore, boring sports games to go to, no tv or movies to watch, no music to listen to, absolutely nothing fun to do over break, that is, without homework.…

    In the United States, 60% of high school teachers feel that school should go year round with intermediate breaks. When school starts again in mid August, students have just gotten back from summer vacation, and have forgotten the material learned the year before. This a problem for teachers when they begin to teach new things that students need last year's information for. Some teachers have suggested that summer break should be shortened and other breaks should be longer so that students have less time to forget content. Parents and students argue that students need time in the summer more than other times because that is more convenient to them. Parents have certain dates they can be off, so having a longer time in somer…

    My Thanksgiving break was pretty good. On Thanksgiving, I went to Indiana to my cousins' house. It was a two-hour drive, so it wasn't that long. All of my cousins are older than me- literally, all of my cousins even from I don't know where. The only people younger than me are my siblings so I'm not the youngest of ALL the people. Anyways, we had eaten all of the thanksgiving things you can possibly eat. I loved thanksgiving this year and I can't wait next year.…

    If they were to change the traditional school schedule, it would be a lot of confusion especially for parents that have to worry about getting their child to school. It would also cost our country a lot of money to switch the traditional school schedule. By eliminating summer break, students would not be able to experience the joy and freedom of the summer and the special time that would usually be spent with family and friends. Then when everyone goes back to school, they reunite with their friends from the last year or meet new people. If you take away a student's ability to have a vacation you increase the risk of…

    Many schools in the United States are beginning to change their school calendar so their students attend class all year round. The changes still allow the students time off in the summer, but they do not have the three months of break most students in America receive traditionally. Instead, they get a break of a couple weeks in the summer, and the remainder of the time is divided up and put into other breaks throughout the year. All schools in America should switch to a year-round calendar to accommodate the different and higher level of learning needed to be successful in our changing world and society. The traditional school system was designed many years ago when our country was an agricultural nation. Therefore, the school calendar was developed having a long break in the summer so students could assist their family with cultivating crops and other aspects of farm life. The traditional school calendar was not a calendar for higher learning, and should be extended to meet the needs of modern day students. There are many explanations as to why the traditional school calendar should be changed.…

    What is the point of a holiday break when students have to do homework during it? Why is it called a holiday break if students aren’t really getting a break from school work? Honestly a holiday break is not really a break if students have homework. But, if students have no homework during a holiday break then it will truly be a break, which is why some people think that students should have no homework during holiday breaks. Also, there are many reasons why students should have no homework during holiday breaks. Sometimes, too much homework can be too much pressure on students.
