Ian Brown Mr. Moran English I - Honors 12 March 2012 Year-Round Schooling Pro Rebuttal The issue of having year-round school in America or not has been going around for decades. This system is practiced throughout the world with the huge exception of many of our schools. Some claim that it doesn’t make a difference to a child’s scores, but spending more time in the classroom, with shorter but often breaks, can keep their mind refreshed. Even U.S. President Barack Obama stated that the hardships and new challenges in this emerging century “demand more time in the classroom.” Some opponents of this system say that our summer vacation is the perfect time to have a full time-off and that you won’t lose much of what you learned the previous school year. In fact, according to a study at the University of Missouri, they found that many students forgot over two and one-half months of whatever their grade-level equivalency is in mathematics.
Finally, in 1968, when the first school changed, they quickly reverted back because it caused disruption of families, little or no academic benefit, and saved no money (year-round school calendar home page). The unseen advantages of the traditional calendar have worked well for years and have produced very little issues to be dealt with. Year round school operates on a one hundred eighty day system, same as the traditional calendar. The main difference between the two systems is amount and time on break. There are many forms of the year round calendar to more easily accommodate each school.
Because I have good mental health, I am able to enjoy school my life and the great people I have in it. I can also pay attention and learn things quickly and be creative. Having good mental health helps me stay focused and accomplish my goals in life. It is not only needed during high school but the duration of life. If I didn’t have such good mental health I wouldn’t be able to get over the hurt of losing a loved one, learn how to walk away from peer pressure or even forgive people.
It helps anyone who wants to build muscle endurance, increase lean body mass, boost strength, and increase anaerobic performance. Creatine helps your cells retain water, which is good for performance. This can, however, give you a higher body weight; this is why fighters and other weight-class athletes may need to cycle off creatine from time to time. Creatine is safe for teenagers and it's also effective. Research suggests that creatine improves strength and performance in teenagers who were already in shape and highly-trained for their sport.
They also found that children who were in day care, were more sociable and interactive with other people, therefore showing positive signs on the children's social development. Clarke-Stewart also found that those in day care for longer hours seemed to speed up a child's social development, therefore learning social skills from a earlier age. Similar to this, Field (1991) also conducted a observation to see the effects of day care on a child's social development. He found a positive correlation between the time a child spent in day care and the amount of
If uniforms aren’t mandated then parents have to keep buying their kids clothes every month to keep them happy. Public schools aren’t strict on the brand names of the uniforms and people will never tell where you bought them. Parents can look for sales so they don’t have to spend that much money. There are many reasons why all public schools have uniforms, such as it prevents bullying, it saves time,

Students in year-round schools attend classes for anywhere from six to nine weeks in a row, broken up by two to four week vacations. Based on the article “Consider All Options for School Year,” posted in the Daily Times Call, there aren’t any clear advantages to having school year round. There’s no change in the number of days that students attend school. The studies done on year round schooling have not provided a clear result to whether it has a large, positive impact. Also, not giving students an end of a school year, takes away the satisfaction completion and moving up a grade.
According to Harold Kohl, a chairman to the Institute of Medicine, physical education in schools is important for providing children the recommended amount of exercise which they may not get elsewhere, but that studies show that it can encourage vast improvements in their mental health, and success in the classroom as well. Kids who are active demonstrate better attention in class, and higher scores when testing (Patterson,
