Arghument Paragraph

I think there should not be year round school. There should not be year round school because students are going to not have any time to spend with our friends and family and do what they want, and we need summer break. Summer break gives the mind a break and they have something to look forward to during the year. It helps us feel relaxed. Also, when students go to school all year long, it feels like going to school forever until we are older, and we wouldn't be very energetic. And, everyone needs time with their family, to go on vacation, and go to camp with their friends. To have fun at different places, not just at school. (One expert, Dr. Peter Scales, says, “The biggest plus of camp is that camps help young people discover and explore their talents, interests, and values. Most schools don’t satisfy all these needs. Kids who have these kinds of camp experiences end up being healthier and have fewer problems.”) I know that I need this to spend time at camp with my friends and with my family, because during the year I don't really get that time, and on year round school I would never get that. If we have year round school, we won't be able to go on long vacations and things that we need to do with our family. In another article, it said ("Since 1980, 95% of schools trying Year-Round School have returned to a TRADITIONAL calendar. Thus, they have changed their calendar twice and had to suffer the disruption, frustration, and wasted time that this entails. Why are we in such a hurry to learn the same lesson?") (And in another article, it said for over 100 years, failure to change the school calendar to one year has occurred. Billee Bussard, a Florida Democratic Party Activist and a strong Obama supporter, said, "It is an idea that has been tried and failed for more than 100 years.") Clearly, this is not working out. So why switch to year round school? We need summer! I do not think we should have year round school.
