In some cases, this could be harmful for students that need time away from school to regain focus from the previous school year. Although, most instructors tend to be rushed throughout the year due to having to re-teach materials that were taught the year prior. This causes the curriculum to not be as intense and focused on the newest subject matter. In turn, the students will be behind on the curriculum from day one,

The students and teachers would benefit from the continuous information that will be taught during the school year. This idea if year-round education could be utilized by the schools that are willing to make use of the idea. Year-round education has deemed its itself more beneficial to students and their education. It gives the students less time to forget what has been taught from the previous year and it allows students who are falling behind a chance to catch up on his or her work.
