Changing the school year to all year
Dang, just realized I've only got 1000 characters. :( "Therefore, there is no economic incentive..." Here are a couple: - Every extra minute the school is open, extra costs include electricity, insurance, paying teachers, etc. These costs can only get passed on to parents or the Government. - Kids like to get Summer jobs to earn a bit of extra cash, which also boosts the economy. "...educational benefits for students..." It's simply not true that students at year-round schools learn more or perform better than others. A study was conducted by a statistician named Paul von Hippel which showed that there is no academic advantage to year-round schools over normal ones. A discussion can be found here: http://www.scienceblog.com... "Teachers are given a criteria..." My opponent has provided no evidence to show that teachers struggle to get through the material. I would ask that he does in the next round please.
