A lot of schools today follow the same yearly calendar but there is another system of education some schools have chosen to participate in. School should be in session year-round because it will be beneficial to students. There is a contrast in views when it comes down to year-round schools, but the argumentation for them to be more commonly used is because they increase academic learning, keep children productive, and keep students and teachers focused. In contempt of what others think, academic learning will greatly increase. Year-round school will help students become scholarly and intellectual but the opposition begs to disagree. The opposition has provided in Kimberly Demucha Kalil’s article, “The Pros and Cons of Year-Round School” she …show more content…
Other groups are claiming that year-round school will hold back students from having a life and experiences outside of the classroom. The reason they believe that schooling is session all year will limit children's experiences is because in an article written by Kimberly Demucha Kalil called, “The Pros and Cons of Year-Round School” the author gives evidence claiming that by not having a long summer break kids will miss things they can not do during school because by, “taking that time away from kids means they could miss out on art, culture, and special adventures” (Kalil). That is to say students will not get enough time for trips but that is not exactly true because year-round schooling will still give long enough breaks but not too much all at once where children could run out of things to do. The stronger evidence from another group is pointing out that a long break from school will be wasted on doing nothing when kids can be productive yet the opposition denies this. The firmer fact that kids will be more effective during the summer months in year-round schooling is certainly a fact given by the author Kimberly Demucha Kalil in the article, “The Pros and Cons of Year-Round School” when she states that, “Year-round schooling eliminates the need to fill 12 weeks of vacation with activities to keep your child interested and engaged” (Kalil).

The evidence presented by the other group in the article, “Year-Round School Advantages and Disadvantages. Written by the author Amy Pearson is saying that schools in session year round cause more stress because, “others might become overwhelmed with the seemingly endless cycle of a year-round school or struggle with focus each time class resumes after a short break” (Pearson). This statement goes to say, it will put more weight on students and teachers shoulders but really they could also feel more relaxed with the extended vacation over the course of a year. The more solid fact is that students and teachers will not be exhausted from school being in session all year because the opposition does not realize that they will get long breaks more often. The data given in the article, “Year-Round Schooling Advantages and Disadvantages” by Amy Pearson is informing people how using year-round schools, students and teachers will be more focused on education and, “feel less burnout when they get more extended time off throughout the year” (Pearson). The evidence presented by the opposition states that year-round schooling will not make teachers and students less focused, but making them more because it is thought that they
