Year-Round Schooling Research

   (updated version of argumentative year-round paragraph)
Note: the underlined words I copied and pasted it with credits to 'Opposing Viewpoints' , I read 3 articles having to do with this theory

   I think year-round schooling is better because it helps prepare kids for college.  Over the summer sometimes I forget the things I've learned in the school year before. A lot of the beginning of the year is spent on review when we could be working on new concepts to help our academic achievement. "The widespread breaks keep kids comfortable while their brains don't get 'drained'," says principle of a Detroit public school, "it helps prepare kids for college and the 'real world'".  Students can excel in schooling because of the time spent on work and breaks where kids study while relaxing.
  Many students are struggling with academics, in traditional schooling calendars. But with a year-round schedule, it's different, to help prepare kids for their future. "We have many students who struggle to achieve academic success in school," says Superintendent David Markward. "We need to take advantage of every opportunity that we think is logical for them to be successful." A modified calendar, he says, has provided "educators [with] a time to step back—a time for teachers to make mid-course corrections before learning problems become achievement gaps." 
  Critics say that year-round schooling isn't well brought up because children don't get to spend their summer time relaxing, studying and having their own time. But will that help support kids' learning journey; not at all! And for for a fact, do you really think a 7-15 year olds will spend their time learning? In my own experience (not including me!!!) people have been just goofing of the whole summer. Though on the other hand year-round schooling will help kids with the constant education flow, but with minor intersessions (breaks) in between. Year-round schooling is better with college preparations.

The Element of Ania

"Lit., Sut., Pottas., Rubis., Ces," I repeated after my grandpa. "This is the rhyme you need to know to remember the first elements of the periodic table," he lectured. "Lithium, Sodium, Potassium, Rubidium, Cesium," I guessed, "Correct," he affirmed and gave me an approving nod, "And remember, study those and I will tell you the rest later." I stared at him in disbelief, of course I want to learn the periodic table... before I get to seventh grade, I thought to myself.

     That is the story of how I learned the periodic table. :-) 

Year round schooling is better. Argumentive

What do I think about year-round schooling.

I think year-round schooling is better. Sometimes with the regular school-year kids in my class and I forget things, so a lot of the year is spent doing review. In tests…

Today we read most of the time and I focused and listened as we were supposed to.
