Swimming late at night in the pool, feeling that cool water brush against your skin after a hot day in the sun. The worries wash away and you feel so light. Summer vacation! This could get lost in all your homework that you have from the summer school to end all summer schools, year round school. Lots of kids (including me) don’t want year round school. There are many reasons why we shouldn’t have year round schooling. Lots of families and schools have payment issues when switching, test scores are better when there is no year round school, and most kids need a large grouped time out of school.

First of all most of the schools who transfer to end up having family and school payment issues. I don’t know about you but I see that some cars have more problems than usual in the summer. Same thing with buses and if we have year round school than the bus costs are higher than you expect. Also studies in Tempe, AZ, found that a high school experienced an increase of $157,000 per year in operating costs. Similar increases have been reported by other Arizona schools using a Year-Round calendar and they can tell you on __ [] __. Another reason of no year round school is that most high schools have after school activities and they spend lots of time doing that and not earning and saving money for college so they push on summer for jobs. If a high school is doing year round schooling then that means they have less time for a summer job and that means less money for a college education.

The next reason that we do not need The next reason that we do not need year round schooling is that the test scores are better. For example __ [|Paul von Hippel] __, author of the study and research statistician in sociology at Ohio State, said, “We found that students in year round schools learn more during the summer, when others are on vacation, but they seem to learn less than other children during the rest of the year.” So that would lead that the test scores are better in the traditional calendar than year round. Also studies on website [] say that traditional calendars do better on the SAT’s in Chicago public schools. So that is another very good example to rebel on schools that go year round.

The last thing is that kids obviously need long grouped time off school, but If you have the family who doesn't want to pull you out of school for a family road trip and you have year round school then its time to listen. For example, you want to go to Hawaii for the summer, but you can't because the breaks in year round school are too short. That means no summer vacation! I don’t know if you are the kid that is left home alone with nothing to do but I know how it feels when you’re home alone. It feels nice for about an hour or so and then you get bored but we can stop that if you just send a letter to the school about this paper then I believe that they will consider a change in schooling. Another thing is that if you have no year round school is that we need camp! I go to Boys & Girls club every summer and they only open for before and after school in the year so that means that means boredom for the rest of the year. But we need fun! So lets ask the principal to reconsider switching back. We need summer!

In conclusion traditional schooling is the way to go because teachers get away from school and the kids get to play. At last a dip in the pool after the burning hot sun in the afternoon with the worries drowning in the water. Summer is finally here. The three reasons have prevailed.
