Year Round School

Year Round School is a great idea because students will it will help them academically achieve more.  Most kids would agree that during the summer that they experience burnouts and forget about what they learn about during the school year, so they spend the first few months reviewing what they forgot, because you don't really practice too much in the summer (Gale Apposing Claim). 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), because they experience less knowledge burnouts.  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 (Education Weekly).  That is why Year Round School is a great idea.
