Year-Round School?

 

People all over the world have been talking about year-round school for a long time.  Can you believe it.  It may sound weird to you but it’s true.  There are schools in the world, and even some in our country, that have year-round calendars. 

 

It’s not quite as strange as it seems because many schools that have so called “year-round school” actually go to school for about the same number of days.  They just have more breaks. 

 

I want to know what you think.  You are going to write a persuasive paragraph either for or against year-round schools.  First, get informed.  Using the links below, read other peoples opinions about the topic.  Take notes about what you read in your journal.  Keep in mind, their arguments might help you defend your own.
