Student Freedom? • Kids and teachers will have chances to work and earn money over the summer in the traditional 9-month school year. • In a year-round school schedule, kids will not have the opportunities to work and earn money: a real-life experience.
Grades and Academics? • In year-round schooling, there are not any days added to the required 180. • “A sociologist at OSU found that, over a full year, math and reading test scores improved about the same amount for children in year-round schools as they did for students whose schools followed a traditional nine-month calendar.”
What About the Cost? • “According to a 2004 report released by the office of Texas Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn, the estimated statewide school electricity cost for an average day in August was about $3.8 million, twice as much as the average day in May.”
