In the 1980's the year around school idea was very popular. The argument held that the use of space would be more productive and students would get more education. Many schools did this type of school calendar, but the experiment only lasted 5 to 10 years. Very few schools now have this type of calendar . It didn't work for several reasons. Classes were divided into sections and each section would go to school 6 weeks and then break for 3 weeks. While section one was on break section 2 would start with the same 6 weeks on and 3 weeks off. The whole problem with this is that in each case the students would loose learning from the previous 6 weeks and when they returned part of the school time was spent in review. The schools didn't show any savings in cost of the classroom space because it was always in use. Finally, parents didn't like the schedules because it didn't fit with other schools that other children in the family were attending and it didn't fit the traditional break or holidays that parents use for time off. So, the consequence was schools returned to the traditional calendar and it is hard today to find a school that is year around.

∙ 13y agodepends on your point of view. on one hand students are constantly learning so they dont have three months to forget what they have learned. on the other hand they dont get the opportunity for the vacations they planned on taking during the summer, so its really a two way street

Is it better to have year-round school?
My theory would be to not have school year round. My reason being that Kids in school need time for their minds to rest and develop all of the knowledge they've gained. Sure, their can be options for summer school so they can advance, but they shouldn't be forced to. Because all that is doing is making them hate school and they will not want to go to college. So should Kids be forced to go to school year round, I say not.
