People with low income also tend to have lesser education because they have fewer opportunities and many students drop out of school because they need to go into the workforce to support their family. I personally have family that live in Texas and live in poverty. Most of them have never graduated from high school and each time an election is held they never go out and vote. They don’t understand why they need to vote so they just don’t bother. Social class
Here is a brief explanation from others of why schools should make the switch over from traditional school schedules to year round or modified schedules. The end result to be achieved is a better use of time and resources for everyone involved. "Once you're into that type of routine, we're making better use of our day [and] we're making better use of our time (St. Gerard)." Another main reason for a modified schedule is for the purpose of addressing the problem of “summer learning loss” (St. Gerard).
Our students in the 21st century don’t recognize the idea of helping or volunteering without receiving commodity in return.

Itinerant workers were cheap and plentiful and in 1930s America, had no job security, social security or pension arrangements. On the ranch in Soledad where this novelette is set, there are few strong relationships due to the short length of time men spend there.
In conclusion, I believe free community college should be allowed. There are many more reasons supporting this topic, and opposing the topic, but in the essay above are the major points. Free community colleges benefits more than it does harm our society.

I as 15 year boy had worked on a summer job for low income children and found it to be an interesting experience in my life. I found that if I would show on time and worked the time allotted for work I made good money and honest money. I also learned that I would rather not be in the manual labor work force in the future if I could help it. This is a good program and it should be used more than just the summer months, it would provide a service and a fair wage to the child during the school year.

The lengthened summer vacation time provides opportunities such as getting a seasonal job or becoming an intern. Kids benefit from focusing on extracurricular activities like athletics and art rather than academics all year long.
