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.
Secondly, the clash among discourse. This is a big issue. Dictionary definition of discourse is ‘verbal expression in speech or writing’ or ‘a formal, lengthy discussion of a subject either written or spoken’.

Luis’ student-teaching experience came as a realization to him not only in a positive way but in a negative way as well. Now that he finished his degree and credential work he least expected to be presented with a full-time teaching position in his hometown starting at $29,000 a year. As he least expected to allow his friend to talk him into a management trainee position at Sunset National it was another surprise to find that the large bank chose him 15 other candidates. This opportunity would give him a slightly better pay starting at $38,000 a year. In addition to his pay at the bank when he’s promoted to loan officer he would be receiving an additional $3,000 raise.
From fairy tale to scary tale, she now walked halls that were decorated with graffiti and dirty floors. Teachers did not receive the respect of a bow like in Korean schools.

The purpose of Kim’s memoir was to communicate her story and to reveal the challenges as an immigrant of America.
Since the bishop (the lay pastor) is likely to have a full-time position and a family, he is not expected to give a sermon each week.

Knowing a second langue is a huge advantage but it is hard to learn. I witnesses first hand when my freshman English teacher said she was going to call home, assuming my parents where Hispanic and did not speak English, she proceeded to ask if she would need a translator.
