—Guest Safarii

Yes

Very great idea! I highly agree with going year round. It helps kids to stay focused and have positive feelings about school.=)
—Guest hope

...

no kids need summer vacation!! all my friends say year round sux and i agree!!
—Guest bacon

No

I dont think it is a good idea because it doesnt allow teens/kids to have a social life or learn life lessons taught outside of school. Also it would be too much work especially if school was everyday, kids would be stressed out and upset.
—Guest Katie

no

kids need to enjoy being a kid and enjoy there childhood. - 6th grader
—Guest ??????

paco says hi

yes i think we should have year round schools because children can have a limited attention span so the break would do them good. although the kids would look forward to the oncoming breaks their for not listen to the teachers. instead they will be thinking what they will be doing on the weekend instead of the work.
—Guest paco

yes

now idk what my psoition is, the more i read the more im more confused wiether my school district should have year round school
—Guest qwerty

no

i do not think we should have year round school because kids need summer camps because they can learn things there that they can't learn at school
—Guest 5th grader
