Year-round school? No way, she says!

Kassidee Aufderheide
Kassidee Aufderheide, a freshman at Galva High School this year, offers thoughts about year-round school in the July 30 Galva News.

Sun screen, flip-flops, sunglasses, and text books?

For most kids summer is the best time of the year, but if we had year-round school, instead of lying in the sun, enjoying ourselves all day, we would be sitting in a classroom doingassignments.

There are many reasons I’m against year-round school. One of them is summer gives kids something to look forward to. If you ask a group of kids what their favorite part of the school year is, I can guarantee you most of them would say the end.

Kids need a break from school, to go out and have fun without worrying about book reports, or tests.

Honestly, I think that there would be more dropouts if schools started to go all year. That thought of summer vacation is what keeps us going throughout the year.
