Argument Essay

 Year-round schooling  has been present from the 1800s. YRS first appeared in urban areas, because they were not tied to the agriculture cycle. In 1973, states that provided year-round schooling options were: Washington, Nevada, California, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Minnesota, Illinois, Michigan, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Florida, Vermont, New Kentucky, and Missouri. Businesses also find it easier to provide jobs on a year round basis instead of having many in the summer for students. Students who attend year-round school say that calendar is more balanced than their peers who have a typical school calendar.

Effect on Students   

Students who attend year-round schools typically do as well as or slightly better in school than their peers who attend a traditionally scheduled school. These breaks can be used for remedial courses, tutoring, and enrichment, if needed.
