Year Round School

Year Round School is a great idea because students will it will help them academically achieve more.  I bet most kids would agree that during the summer that they experience burnouts and forget about what they learn about during the school year. In Year Round School kids achieve 10.05 math gain, while Traditional only achieves 7.71.  Same with writing, Year Round School achieves 10.52 and Traditional only achieves 8.91 (Statistic Brain).  One longitudinal study of six elementary schools, three on traditional calendars and three on year-round schedules, discovered positive effects of year-round education. It found that, in most cases, the sample of students in the year-round schools posted overall test-score increases that were higher than those of their traditionally schooled counterparts (Kneese, 2000).  That is why Year Round School is a great idea.
