Year-Round Education: A Better Plan

Traditional school calendars have been used to educate children in the United States and other countries for many years. Traditionally, children have to attend school for 180 days, which ends in August to May and spends the summer vacation for the remaining three months. However, this traditional calendar has several flaws that hinder children's learning. For this purpose, the implementation of the annual education program began. In this new plan, the school will be suspended for 3 months and the building capacity will increase. Parents do not need to worry who will look after their children for 3 months.

Perhaps the main reason why educational supporters shifted from traditional calendars throughout the year is that they believe school education can provide better education for students throughout the year. Educator Susan Morse (1992) argues that the longer the student takes a vacation, the less the materials they hold. She added that year-round education can improve the academic performance of students who do not rely on home care. This seems logical, but Morse did not provide backing evidence that education throughout the year actually improved student academic performance. Indeed, Teresa Greenfield (1994) discovered that teachers and parents may have observed some improvement, but the results of standardized tests did not show such improvements. Furthermore, Dr. Gary Peltier (1991) pointed out that there is no big difference when comparing the student's score throughout the year with the student's score of a conventional calendar year.

The results of the research on whether the learning ability of the school improved over the year varied and one school reports the full year's income, but the other schools feel that the students of the traditional school are better grades . Esther Fusco, professor of education, health and welfare services at Hofstra University, says: These students made sense because they did not have a summer downtime. But the result was not that important.

Many schools have carried out school education throughout the year to combat the learning disabilities of this summer. In 2007 the National Education Association of the Year reported that 3,000 schools annually registered more than 2 million students in the United States. However, according to research, students' academic abilities can be improved by receiving school education throughout the year. In one study low-income students were discovered to be other students during the grade. Students had similar success; the gap of achievement between the two groups expanded during the summer. In another study, it was found that summer learning losses are more prominent than mathematical facts, spelling, and certain other academic materials (Cooper, Nye, Charlton, Lindsay & Greathouse, 1996).
