Question

What are some pros and cons of having year long school?

Answer 1

Pros: you can teach more information to the students; parents don't have to pay for daycare in the summer; students won't forget anything so you won't have to catch them up in the fall; kids lead a more structured lifestyle and thus might be better behaved; less emphasis on final exams and more on the kids doing consistently good work

Cons: students will get burnt out more quickly; students will not have motiviation to work hard at finals (because they won't have a long summer to rest afterwards); school shouldn't be a kids' entire life- they can also be educated by having a summer job, going on trips, etc.; schools don't have enough money to stay open all year; teachers will get tired
