The Benefits of Year-Round Education

The United States has a long and proud history of providing public education for its citizens' children. The basic idea behind the construction of this educational system is that anyone can use it regardless of the location or the state of the family. In the era of this initiative, many American families live on the farm and work. Children are an important part of this lifestyle. Founder of a public school in the United States, even children who are expected to work in agriculture during the harvest period must develop plans that include all children.

The question of whether education can improve the student's academic ability throughout the year is an important issue in the annual education controversy. School supporters throughout the year insist that students receive educational benefits. 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 the traditional calendar, it is often said that year-round courses shorten review time as students spend less time to forget materials. However, as with most studies on this issue, there are some evidence to support the parties to the discussion.

Is the benefit of school education worth a year? Is this reform really improving student motivation for learning, or is it another attempt to over-simplify education? At first glance the simple concept of 'whole-year education' has raised discussions nationwide, so we need to understand the pros and cons of summoning goodbye and the effect of looking good. The American traditional grade is designed according to the 9 month course that takes 180 days in class. This schedule was set when the United States was a major agricultural country. At that time, the system was introduced in the summer as children are often required to work in the field. For these reasons, it no longer makes sense in this modern world, and many people insist on transitioning from this "old" nine-year grade to full-year education.

In addition to economic benefits, some believe that the annual schedule improves students' academic abilities. In this survey, it was found that the full-year education is at least suitable for this field, and the achievement rate is "usually comparable to the conventional calendar structure and in many cases better". Burn out to reduce the stress of the student and indicate the possibility of disciplinary or dropout. These schedules can increase student retention and improve grades.
