“Part of education is to help students be prepared for jobs, all year schooling allows students to be more prepared for professional work day hours. In the real world, employees do not get 3 months off. “ —Doctor Hawk Because we agree with the statement by Doctor Janelle Hawk, my partners and I affirm the resolution: Year round schooling benefits students, their families, and the community. We offer the following three reasons to support our side. Overcrowding, frequent breaks, and benefits to low income families.
Visualize the scene of an annual first day of summer barbecue, imagine the scent of wet grass and the sense of belonging felt upon gazing at people’s smiling visages. Now visualize summer camp, finally, after an entire year, seeing the friends that have been made over the years and hugging those friends as the rejoicing commences. Now imagine sitting crunched up in a tiny school desk listening to your algebra teacher drone on about quadratics and systems of inequalities. Day. After day.
“The very thought of sending kids to school year-round makes some parents cringe” (Scholastic). In year-round school, schools continue to operate a hundred and eighty days per year, but they stretch out the hundred and eighty days over the entire year and take shorter breaks between each term. Year-round schools have become increasingly common, both as an academic improvement strategy and as a solution to student and teacher burnout. Student and teacher burnout is when the student or teacher is highly stressed or completely exhausted. Year-round schooling is not necessarily the same as expanded learning time.
Kids from KIPP are very smart and responsible young adults, but how do these kids do it at such a young age? KIPP is a better school than Anaheim schools because the students who go to KIPP have a higher percentage of graduating unlike the students at Anaheim schools. For example “ Just over ten years into existence, KIPP has became one of the most desirable public schools in New York”, because the KIPP students take their work seriously and tend not to socialize with others who slack off. Another reason why KIPP students are doing so well is, study shows that the students at KIPP are spending fifty to sixty percent more time learning than the the traditional kid at public schools. That is another reason why kids at KIPP are so successful because
Some schools are considering year round school. Year round school would be great. No more being bored in the summer. Students would have less of a chance to forget what they have already learned. It keeps kids busy and out of trouble.
This (written opinion) will look at the importance of additional/helping schools in diasporic communities and discuss how they support children through providing an (interested in the whole or the completeness of something) approach. According to Emma Taylor, Additional/helping Schools Programme Coordinator, British Museum there are about 5,000 additional/helping schools in the UK. Additional/helping schools provide educational opportunities through an (interested in the whole or the completeness of something) approach to all minority (related to a group of people with the same race, culture, religion, etc.) communities. They are usually managed and run by local groups or community organisations, including newly arrived communities, and happen
Since at least the 1970’s, the topic of year-round schooling has been debated by many people. This new system is spreading across the nation fast, in fact, in 2011-12, there were about 3700 schools that operated on the year-round schedule. (Zubrzycki 1,3). Like any other controversial topic, there are both benefits and drawbacks to the year-round schooling system. For instance, a definite benefit would be that, “...with one group of students always on vacation, a school that was built for 750 students can serve as many as 1000.
Charter schools have a big effect in our community . There are many advantages and disadvantages of attending a charter school.

Education is an important aspect of all nations. Investing great amounts of money, governments try to enforce their educational systems.

With the use of technology, new teaching methods, and new infrastructure, the United States has transformed its education system.
As the expectations for children entering kindergarten rise, so should a child’s preparation for the concepts that they will be expected to know. More and more parents are making the decision to enroll their children into some type of preschool to help prepare them for kindergarten, and more and more of these students are succeeding in their early school years and even their later life. In fact, 61% of parents say that their children are enrolled in preschool, which has risen by 6% in just one year (Early Childhood Education Zone)! Kids that do not receive the opportunity to attend pre-kindergarten classes are not getting the chance to succeed at their full potential. Studies show that kids that do not attend pre-K are 60% more likely to
INTRODUCTION We belong in a time where the world goes through constant changes. Life today is so fast-paced and dynamic that we sometimes knowingly ignore what 's happening around us since it may instantly change anyway. The Philippines specifically, have gone through great changes in the past several years. These changes have rooted from problems that made it impossible for us to develop and progress as a country.
Therefore, the Philippine Constitution of 1987 mandated to providing free education which resulted in the increase of enrollment in the public elementary and secondary schools. However, qualified public school teachers are hindered to perform at their best because of the lack of instructional materials, inadequate facilities and lack of training for professional growth. Furthermore, the number of students reaching up to sixty in a classroom have distorted the learning environment as well. A problem so true that teachers need to exert extra effort to attract a good teaching strategy.
As you can see the Philippines education is not that good and to improve our education system is through k-12. There are many pro arguments for k-12 program first is enhancing the quality education. This is very much needed here in our country, as stated before we have a poor educational system. Through k-12 our standards of education higher can be add more to our present curriculum therefore we can add to the stude3nts knowledge, next is preparation for students to work, its true not every one who finish high school in the Philippines will go to college most high school will look for a job after they graduate and most of them around 16 -18 years old therefore to young to earn living last is current curriculum will be “loosened”. This is because 12 years of education is crammed into only 10 years this can stress a student would have a less stressful, albeit a longer time in school (padre
WHAT IS IT? School-based management (SBM) is a strategy to improve education. By transferring significant decision-making authority from education offices to individual schools. SBM provides principals, teachers, students, and parents control over the education process by giving them responsibility for decisions about the planning, personnel, curriculum and action in school. Through the involvement of school community members in these key decisions, SBM can create more effective learning environments for students.
In the Philippines, the 1987 Philippine Constitution declares that education is a right of every Filipino (Maligalig, 2010). Thus, the policies of the government on education have been primarily about education for all citizens. Being a right, this must benefit every member of the Philippine population regardless of their language and ethnicity. The right to education, however, must not be confined in the context of being able to go to school or having more areas and structures for schooling. The right to education is undermined and meaningless if teachers are under-trained, learning curricula and materials are irrelevant and learning environment is unsafe and not conducive (Mapa, 2013).
