When thinking about going to school, you would regularly think of going for five days a week, nine months out of the year, from September to June, and then have your typical summer break which is typically just under 3 months. What if, instead of doing your schooling that way through K-12, you decide to enroll yourself into a year round schooling program and can learn more material and increase your test scores. Year round schooling consists of going to school for about 9 weeks, followed by a 2 week break and then the cycle would just continue year round. I think implementing year round round schooling would highly increase scores and possibly GPA's due to the fact that the students are learning more, and won't have the break
introduction:
when starting my paper, i think i want to find a study on a student that went to tradtional schooling, and what they rememebered after their 3 month break and slowly transition into my thesis and next my first paragraph.
Possible sub topics:
GPA's
Cost
Break in summer vs no break (faculty and students)
Student scores
Family issues
Scheduling conflicts
What year round school really is
Evidence: I have found sufficent information so far for my topic, but clearly more information is needed. When looking at the info, im feeling that I need to tweak my thesis a little so that it comes better together and I can find much more informatin to back me up.
Opposing: I have found a few sites, one of the sites I found was very nice in this field. It focuses a lot on the negatives and states why year round schooling is almost a bad thing. I do need to find more sources to back up my claim, but im slowly getting there.
