I think that year-round schooling is not a good idea because it does not significantly improve test scores.
Teresa Greenfield(2004) found that although teachers and parents may have observed some
improvement, the result showed no significant improvement. There are additional reasons
for not changing the traditional school calendar. Summer time allows children to grow and mature, which may
ultimately give them a new outlook for the upcoming school year and
provide them with the chance for a fresh start.
According to one study, the research finds that a year-round calendar
doesn't benefit the average student. Because these schools offer more
breaks to make up for being in school year-round, students end up
learning the same amount of material. Furthermore, the research found it
isn't the amount of time that a student is in school, but rather the
amount of learning that takes place.Steven McMullen and Kathryn E. Rouse, Elon University, 2012.
I think that
year-round school would have a negative impact on students and
wouldn't be very encouraging.Many students wouldn't want to go to school year-round and would
get tired of it, which would result in many drop outs. Having a
summer vacation gives students motivation throughout the school
year.
Some students like to enjoy their summer by participating in
summer sports. Also, many families go on summer vacations, so
year-round school would stop them from enjoying time with
family (Julia Sines, 2009) so in conclusion i don't think year round schooling is a good idea.

I think five minute writing is stupid. we basically write about random things because we ran out of ideas because we write all the time. id rather write a couple paragraphs a week than write every day. it does nothing because we write about things like this: blue sky is blue or my five minutes is almost done. this doesn't improve any writing and is a huge waste of time. id like to be proven other wise mr joe

out, summer can also provide children with educational opportunities
that they may not get while in school, such as enjoying a summer
reading program at the public library, learning to swim, attending a
summer camp. Allowing children the summer off gives them time to explore the world
without being graded as they are in the classroom. however,
if children do need help, one or two hours of summer school
per day can be offered to provide them with additional
tutoring.
