Year Round Schooling is a Preposterous Idea

365 days a year. I spent 175 years at school. For some reason, this question is still being asked about school education throughout the year. My answer: It's ridiculous. School education should not be conducted throughout the year. Students will be overwhelmed by that information and teachers will not be able to benefit from additional benefits. Needless to say, students and teachers spend less time with their families. Of course, in the case of school education throughout the year, students begin to be overwhelmed.

The possibility of school education throughout the year is a topic for a while. The problem is whether school ideas will be accepted throughout the year, taking into account all potential shortcomings. Having school education throughout the year may have catastrophic impact on the student's family and the teacher himself, but for a lot of people this is costly and providing the same learning opportunities throughout the year can not. For many reasons, traditional grade is more beneficial than school education throughout the year.

A full year calendar is not a new idea. The national annual education association promoting the annual calendar was founded in 1972. Since the 1990's thousands of schools have been experimenting with the calendar year round. These promises are not fulfilled. In California, the calendar was changed in about 1000 schools between 1998 and 2005, the score of the test did not increase in the school changed to a full-year calendar, and the score did not decrease even in the school that switched to the conventional calendar It was. In the most populous state in the United States, in the late 1990's, one of five schools uses the annual calendar and now only uses one of the calendars for 20 years.

At this time of the year, the news media will post articles on the school calendar of "full year". That's because the full-year calendar has a short summer vacation and the grade starts at the end of July or early August. However, the short summer vacation of the annual calendar did not help students to learn. Unfortunately, many school leaders do not know this. A full year calendar is not a new idea. The national annual education association promoting the annual calendar was founded in 1972. Since the 1990's thousands of schools have been experimenting with the calendar year round. These promises are not fulfilled

As there are few parents and school leaders who know the school's history and evidence throughout the year, leaders of good faith usually use the annual schedule and unrealistic hope shattered within a few years Will be. In recent years, both Oklahoma City and Indianapolis have embarked on this path. Neither was particularly crowded nor did they produce their achievement. Let's break the cycle of disappointment. The full year schedule is not new and it does not protect promises. While some annual calendars can be motivated by the cost reductions they offer, it is important that policy makers do not sell the calendar of unrealized academic interests to the public.
