Year round school is something that a lot of schools are now
doing, and it is also being considered by all schools. I have to say in my
opinion I must disagree. I feel that not giving students a summer break would
be a mistake. For me I know how much I enjoy summer and how devastated I would
be if I no longer had a summer break. One reason I believe it would be harder
to do year round schooling is because child will have a much harder time
focusing in class when the weather outside is so nice. I know when the weather
is nice all i can think about is being outside and enjoying it. Although that
would be difficult i think there is another much more important reason that we
should not have year round schooling. I think that if students are only given a
little break here and there that they will never really put full effort into
their school work. At the end of year when finals are coming up and all big assignments
are going to be due students are working their butts off. I they were working
and consciously knowing that they would be back to school work in a week i
doubt they would be putting forth as much effort. Another problem I have is
that this decision is being made without any input from the students
themselves. No one knows better than the students when they learn best and what
more beneficial is for them.
