Argument Paragraph Again

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 we need summer break. Summer break gives the mind a break and they have something to look forward too. 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 entergetic. Also, year round schools have no more achivement then regular, yet there's more school, so it's between having a 3 month vacation or not, and we need the vacation. We want a break sometimes, and it won't make a difference if we change to year round. And, everyone needs time with their family, to go on vacation, and go to camp with their friends. 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 in another article, it said many high schools don't employ a year-round calendar because of sports schedules. And teens want to be able to take summer jobs. If we have year round school, we won't be able to go on long vacations and things that we need to do. And it costs a lot for year round schooling.For example, in an article it said a high school in Arizona had a cost increase of $157,000 when they switched to year-round schooling. That cost might be trouble to some schools for this cost. In another article, it said the recent Massachusetts plan, which increased school time by 30 percent in its first year, required an additional 20 percent in base funding, or an average of $1,300 extra per student. I think the money could be better spent and have better benefits. It costs too much! Also, since 1980, 95 percent of schools that tried the year-round schedule changed back to a traditional calendar. It is clear this is not working out. And another article said "Some techers are on 12 month contracts, work for nine months, and receive their salary over a 12 month period. Thus teachers often pursue other employment, generally in the summer and about 30 percent of teachers take summer jobs to supplement their incomes, and try and get a bigger wage than their teaching wage. Consequently, it may be difficult to recruit and retain teachers in a year round school setting." This would be hard for teachers. What's wrong with traditional? I think there are more negative effects than positive. I do not think their should be year round school. Personal Expierence - 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.
