One of my kids was in year-round school and all of us loved it.

Summer break is too long in the US. By the end of the third week most kids are out of their minds with boredom, and over that period of time you forget EVERYTHING you learned earlier and have to waste weeks on the school year in review.

Of course, the amount of time spent in school shouldn't increase too much. But maybe having every other Wednesday off, and a shorter summer break, would really help a lot of kids who get stressed out by a solid week of school (idk about everyone else, but imxp kids are always tired and distracted by the end of the school week, and wouldn't mind a day off in the middle)

More total time should be spent in school, of course, but mainly schools need to be run more efficiently, and I think that a year round school schedule is the most efficient yet.

 If kids are stressed out when they are only in high school how will they deal with the real world when it gets stressful?

I definitely believe that school should be year round, especially in the United States. Today, students need more help than ever. Most of them are not as bright as students ten or twenty years ago were. Students today do more bad things such as crimes, teen pregnancy and other things. If they went to school year round, they would have less time to do these bad things. They don't study much when they are in school for nine months and they complain that it is too hard. Well, having school twelve months of the year will give them more time to work on these "hard" concepts. No job gives you three months off, so why should school give students three months off?

This said by the person who can't spell.

School in most places is year-round these days and I think it works much better than taking 3 months off in the summer. I wish I had gone to year-round school back when I went to school.

Better a big break than little gasps of air in between the suffering. I exaggerate a little.

Families need time together. I know they could take them out of school, to go on holiday but then they would miss the lessons. I do think the holidays are too long though.

Now I'm gonna guess that everyone on the for side is over the high school age, because
nobody on the for side has any clue what things are like after just 10 months.

In the UK we only get 5-6 weeks in the summer, personally more would be better.
N.B Since when does dumb have a capital B? Wouldn't it be D?

If you made school year round every one would bunk off and it would cost the state millions moor for schooling staff school buses and lunches. Also children would just stop wanting to learn every one get a break. And so should children AND tutors.
