Year-round education is not a good idea for student learning

Year-round education is not a good idea for student learning.

1)It prevents kids from doing after-school activites. Many studies have shown that after school activites help a student out iin many areas. "Many afterschool programs offer structured homework help. Homework can often cause friction between kids with learning and attention issues and their parents. So getting it done during the program can make everyone"s evening more pleasant and relaxing. " - https://www. Understood. Org/en/school-learning/tutors/afterschool-programs/benefits-afterschool-programs-kids-with-learning-attention-issues

This piece of evidance shows that, These activites release stress on a child, And if the child has the stress built up when they go to school, It could take a toll on their studies, Making them to poorly. By releasing stress, Students do well in their studies.

2) It does not help the school economically. When students are away in the summer, The school uses less electricity, Water etc. And can save up the money to put back into student's education. With the money taken away to pay the bills. It takes away istems that could have benefited the student in their overall learning experience. "The summer months are typically the highest ones for energy consumption. In fact, The average electricity bill for homeowners in the summer months goes up 4 to 8 percent. Having empty classrooms in the summer months means less money [for the school]" - https://www. Theedadvocate. Org/3-reasons-not-to-adopt-year-round-schooling/.

3) The final argument I present is that, It takes a hit on childrens health. "Some childhood development experts believe that particularly when it comes to younger students, Time off in the summer months is a vital component of healthy development. The argument follows that kids are not designed to spend so much of their time inside classroom walls and that the warmer, Pleasant weather of the summer provides a perfect opportunity to get outside and experience childhood".

Year- round schools end school daily, Very late which means the student cannot go outside and play, Which could mean the child gets more unhealthy.

Thus, I affirm

Year-round education is a good idea for student learning.

1) Kids should only focus on normal education:
It's what kids need in daily life. Instead of after-school activities, Kids can just go to those activities during the weekend. If kids end up with a lot of extra time, They would more likely spend it on unnecessary stuff.

2) The gap between rich and poor:
Extra school doesn't cost extra money. Extra after school activities cost money because you have to pay more money. This is unfair because only the rich can afford after-school activities, And the poor can't. If everyone relied on after-school activities than the poor wouldn't be able to live a fair life. Con believes that we should try to close the gap between the rich and the poor.
According to https://www. Oecd-ilibrary. Org, "Inequality affects economies and societies, With growing evidence that excessive inequality may be bad for growth. "

3) School brings health:
Many schools have outdoor activities. Those outdoor activities help children release stress, Which is healthier for their body. When kids don't go to school, They would obviously stay at home. My opponent says that kids are not designed to spend much of their time inside walls, But that's exactly what home is. School actually forces kids to go outside, While at home no child can get forced to go outside.
According to http://www. Dailytexanonline. Com, "One way that students can reduce their stress is by spending more time outside. Nature has not only proven to be a stress reliever but also it has proven to make the brain function in a better and healthier way. As students, We can use all of the brainpower, Vitamins, And relaxation that we can get. Many students retreat to their rooms to play video games as a stress reliever, But they shouldn"t"

4) The pro's sources are wrong:
My opponent's evidence from Theedadvocate. Org is not reliable, Because that website also agrees on my side. Go check out https://www. Theedadvocate. Org/top-3-reasons-the-us-should-switch-to-year-round-schooling/. It also helps my side. This proves that theedadvocate. Org doesn't really believe in any side, So you should not consider any evidence that uses that website.
