The question of whether education can improve the student's academic ability throughout the year is an important issue in the annual education controversy. Throughout the year school supporters claim that students are receiving educational benefits, which is reflected in improving the test scores. However, there is a huge amount of research showing that there is no big difference in the achievement of education between school students and traditional calendar school students throughout the year (Zykowski, 1991, Harp, 1993). Another proposal (Ballinger et al., 1987) is to harm the long summer vacation of the traditional school calendar because students forget the previous study, valuable time is required to review the course at the beginning of the new grade That is to say. As an alternative to traditional calendars, it is often said that year-round courses shorten review time, as students spend less time to forget materials.
