The Case for Year-Round School

As an introduction to our persuasive writing and debate unit, I thought we might read some examples of persuasive writing or, as they're called in journalism- editorials. For this "response-as- commentary activity," read the editorial Year-Round School? My Kids Love It. Yours Will, Too and respond to the following questions by adding comments. You won't see comments posted by your peers until everyone has answered. After you have written your responses, answer the survey.

  2. I honestly think that in some reasons its cool, and more educating but it takes away from family time..by the time you graduate you will know the teachers more then your own family. The classes seem okay and all but summer is a time for "Freedom" and to lay in the sun with your brother or sister or go on vacation and learn about the world by being there and encountering what really goes on..and beside..teachers can be wrong sometimes because they really don't know what is going on..they get it from the government and of course the government twist's words around to make it seem like everythings ok......so honestly i don't like the idea, but i wouldn't mind the Harry Potter class

  4. i think her thesis was to try to motivate families to send there kids to school all year but not just families on board students as well.

  6. Wow.
    I thought that was really cool.
    At first I did not like the idea of going to school all year. Then it said that there would be small breaks throughout the year where you could learn to cook or become fluent in Spanish!I think that the year-round school is a great way to have kids be excited about school in an educationally fun way.
