Educational debates are widespread in today's society. Currently, one of the biggest debates in education is the debate over whether schools should stay with the traditional school calendar or move to a year-round calendar. The main focus of the debate centers on the idea that using the year-round calendar will provide kids with a more consistent learning schedule, which in turn will create better grades in school and reduce summer learning losses. The annual calendar and the traditional calendar are very different. The traditional school calendar includes a ten-week summer break, while the annual calendar provides a shorter summer break but more frequent breaks throughout the year. Frequent breaks give families the opportunity to choose which school year would be best for their family and also helps keep children motivated in school. With the information provided, many believe the year-round calendar will provide a better education by preventing summer learning loss, create a better calendar to accommodate certain lifestyles, and promote greater motivation in school. As part of the traditional school calendar, children receive approximately ten weeks off school for the summer holidays. That time is usually filled with summer camps, family vacations, summer jobs, and relaxation. During the long summer break, children forget some of the things they learned during the school year and need a lot of time to review them when lessons resume. Richard L. Worsnop is an accomplished author of many educational books including The Great Plague, Ancient Egypt, and many others. Worsnop is also an associate editor of the CQ Researcher, a weekly report on public policy issues. Worsnop wrote an article titled "Year-Round Schools" that talks about education... middle of paper... despite the fact that the year-round calendar provides the frequent breaks needed to keep students updated and motivated which in turn could result in higher attendance and graduation rates. In the article "Are summer vacations bad for you?" it is stated that “Experts say that this type of calendar has clear advantages. With less time outside of the classroom during the summer, most students don't need as much review when they return. Plus, the opportunity to relax and recharge throughout the year keeps students – and teachers – from feeling burnt out. The point is: less stress and more learning." Others completely disagree and believe that frequent breaks cause unnecessary interruptions that cause stress for children and families and create problems finding child care. The whole idea of ​​a new calendar year in school would only create more problems and hurt the economy
