Year round school

 I think everyone should have year round school, because it helps you academically achieve. Lots of kids all over the world experience burnouts during the summer.  "The traditional school year, with roughly three months of vacation days every summer, was first implemented when America was an agricultural society." Says Education Week Reasons.About 50 million children are on summer vacation across the United States.Many are discovering new interests at summer camp, playing ball at the Y, or traveling with Mom and Dad. But millions of others are loitering in parking lots and shopping malls.Summer vacation once made good sense—back when we lived in a brawn-based economy, academic achievement mattered less, an absence of air conditioning or modern hygiene turned crowded schools into health risks, and children had moms who were home every day.A survey of school decision-makers in 1971 said that 84 percent of respondents thought  that year-round schooling would be in all U.S. schools within the next 15 years.
