Year-Round School Anybody?

Rumor is flying around that year-round school will be coming in the future. How soon? We don't know yet, but there are pros and cons for it. Read a few these, and write your thoughts or ideas.

Pros
1. Shorter summer breaks will help students not lose all that they learned in the previous year.
2. There are more breaks and longer breaks (i.e. winter break = 3 weeks, a fall break = 1 week)
3. The breaks give teachers and students time to get refreshed for more, versus being burnt out.


Cons
1. Keeping schools grounds will cost more money because school will be open longer.
2. Teens who work may have difficulty holding or finding a job.
3. A shorter summer
