Year round School

Year round School
Over 3,000 schools had year-round education programs last year. That's less than four percent of all schools, but it's four times the number of students in year-round schools 10 years ago.Personally I don't think a student can handle the stress of a year round school, especially in high school.I understand that we will be learning less but the schools are offering more ways to learn and get ahead without eliminating summer vacation.Some would argue that eliminating summer vacation would make it less stressful for the parent especially if both parents work during the summer.The parents need a babysitter or send there child to daycare while they work.I'm pretty sure that school is supposed to be based around the kids and there education.Year round school is starting to spread all over the country very quickly.Most are against year round school, some are for year round, which one are you?

  1. I understand that parents would like to eliminate summer vacation, but the fact is if that was to happen the attendance rate would be lower than what it is now. I thinks school is to stressful and eveyone needs a long break to save them from insanity. So all I can say is if my summer vacation was cut I would being skipping like everyday of school. I like the topic you chose because it's very contrversial, and intresting to hear about.

  7. This is such a horrible idea, more kids would drop out than stay in school year round.
