My evidence:
Instead of extending the school year, educators should concentrate more on improving the quality of time now being spend in school. Until the quality of time spent in schools is raised, increasing the number of days will not do much good.
Certainly stress created by conflicting schedules will not enhance relationships in school or at home. Because it appears that social benefits are not guaranteed by a change in the school calendar either, year-round education is not a good idea.
More time in year round school gives students less time to earn money to spend or save for college. They cannot maintain a steady job, so they may be forced to work during the school year, which will lower grades overall.
Summer time allows children to grow and mature, which may ultimately give them a new outlook for the upcoming school year and provide them with the chance for a fresh start.
summer can also provide children with educational opportunities that they may not get while in school, such as enjoying a summer reading program at the public library, learning to swim, attending a summer camp, or visiting faraway historic sites on vacation.
Conclusion: We shouldn't take summer away from children. We should let them enjoy being children for as long as possible.
