The Pros Of Year-Round Schooling

WARNING: What you are about to read may take awhile due to the numerous pros and positive affects year-round schooling has on the education system.

Overcome crowding- provides solutions to school or districts that experience overcrowding and doesn't require new buildings or temporary structures.
Avoid Costly Investments- To build new schools to house the overcrowding children in another would be costly due to capital outlay, staff, furniture, maintenance, etc. Year-round schooling would be cost-effective
Continue of Instruction- The loss of knowledge in the three- month summer vacations would be eliminated without the loss of vacation days.
Improved Student Achievement- With the continued instruction, students would be more opted to achieve higher standardized test scores as well as learning.
Intercessions- The intercessions are opportunities for remediation and enrichment. In traditional school, these opportunities only come once a year.
Class Size- It can reduce class-size so there is more one-on-one time between student and teacher.
Reduce Stress- With more frequent breaks, stress is reduced.
Reduce Juvenile Activities- With year-round schooling, students are less likely to engage in delinquent activities.
Flexible Mobility- It would make it easier for transferring students to accommodate, due to the breaks.
