School Should be Year - Round with no Summer Break

Everyone has had to come back from summer break and had to go to school. Remember what it feels like? Why not get rid of that feeling of loss and just have no summer break? We would have the same amount of break, just more spread out. For one, we would get used to it. Also, we would get smarter, and still another reason is that there would be the same amount of break, just more spread out. I think that school should be year round and have no summer break.
    Some may say that since we have had summer break for a long time we won't get used to it, but we can get used to things really quickly because people adapt quickly. It can take us anywhere from 18 to 254 days to form a new habit and make it automatic (Clear). A lot of things have seemed bad but we have gotten used to it, so we can get used to this. Other countries don't have summer break, so we can get used to it too. People are made to adapt quickly, so it wouldn't take long to get used to having no summer break.

    Having no summer break would make us smarter. For one, there would be no review when you get back from a short break, so you would learn more. You would have a better chance in life if you have an idea of what it is like working year round. Also, you won't forget everything you learned during the school year during summer. Overall, kids would probably be smarter.

    Some people may be reluctant to give up a lot of their break, but we would still have the same amount of break, just more spread out. There would be more breaks, reducing stress so that kids would be happier in school. There could also be a longer break during summer so that kids could enjoy the sun just like now, and teachers could take their classes outside. You would be in school the same amount of time, but it would feel like less because you would take two weeks off each month. I think that having the same amount of break would be better.

    I think that there should be no summer break and school should be year round. People would get used to it because other countries have already. Kids would be smarter because they won't forget everything they learned. There will also be the same amount of break, just more spread out. For all of these reasons I think that school should be year round with no summer break. Now you should go out and tell your teachers that school should be year round.
