Should schools be in session year-round?
I recently read in the paper (Yes, we still have a local newspaper) that a few schools would be implementing a year-round schedule. The move was met with opposition from parents who wanted to keep the current schedule (12 week summer break).
This got me thinking. How many people actually support a year-round schedule for schools? And what better way to find out than to poll the Flood?
So, should schools be in session year-round?
CLARIFICATION: There would still be breaks with the year-round schedule, just more evenly spread out.

작성자: Spinage 4/25/2013 11:56:53 PMI believe my middle school had it. The school was divided into 3 groups called tracks. Red, Yellow, Blue. pretty much, every month 1 track would be on vacation. Then each month, it would switch track. So in the end i think we got like 3 months of vacation during the school year And 1 for summer. One track would be lucky to get 2 months in a row. It was cool.

1 답변I think we should have better teachers, better technology, and better textbooks. My AP US Government textbook is at a middle school level.

If they want the US's grades to go up, they should give us better books, maybe experiment with books and see which ones give kids higher grades without being too easy. I still dont understand why i need to learn some of the things i learn in high school

There were a few schools in my district that were on year-round schedule. I like it a lot more. Yes, the breaks are shorter, but there are more of them spread more evenly throughout the school year. The traditional schedule leads to having to re-teach a lot of things in the fall because students have forgotten it all over the long summer break.

The quarter system? Yes. I've done both quarters and semesters. I found that quarters are more manageable, I learned more, and the time off was better. Sure, you don't get that glorious 3 month break, but you don't take a 3 week vacation for granted either. Summer is too long to have off. The only reason it was done that way is so you could have the children there to work the family farm. That's not an issue for enough people to not change.

1 답변No. I'm in university and wouldn't be albe to support myself without the chance to do full-time work during the summer. Also, with a course that's seven years long, I'd like to be alble to have some free time at least once a year. Two months of free time is perfect.

I have had both year round school and the 12 week summer break. I prefer the longer breaks than having a random week off her and there. My friends with year round school would laugh at me during their random weeks off but I got to laugh at them when they had to start school in July and I got to stay on break until mid-August. And we got out for Summer break at the same time.

5 답변That's horrible. It doesn't just affect students and teachers but the entire country. Summer break is a huge deal for everyone here, maybe even extending out. Imagine how it affects the economy [b]everywhere[/b] without Summer Break. Not to mention it'll lower morale. Nonstop school? Are you kidding me? I'm not even in it anymore. That's a horrible idea that affects everybody. Not to mention you spend the first 16-18 years still in what could potentially be called an institution. Being in a building 7 hours a day doesn't make a person, it just educates them. It's not more important than creating a personality. Harder to do with only 2 days off a week. Nobody goes anywhere, don't see anything for the first 17 years because they had school and never have a change to leave. Who would you be, honestly if school was in session year-round? I think that's the real question.

No. Summer break was great because it was long. If I had it and loved it, I want my kids to be able to enjoy it. I would fight such a change. Maybe even fist fight parents that would try and change it where I will live.

There should be a break for the kids. That way they can spend time with their families(Also for the teachers to.) and the break gives the schools time to. Clean, fix things and get new things set up which the students would be in the way of.

3 답변There should be a break for kids because if you are stuck in school all the time you'll feel trapped. You would also start to hate school more than before.
