Oh Hanukkah, Oh, Hanukkah
Come light the menorah
Let's have a party
We'll all dance the horah
Gather 'round the table
We'll give you a treat,
Sivivon to play with and levivot to eat

And while we are playing
The candles are burning low
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago
One for each night, they shed a sweet light
To remind us of days long ago.

12/16/13 Year-Round School is a Bad Idea Quote

My Writing So Far

I think we should not have year round school because I think kids need time off to go to summer camp and hang out with friends and family. I think year round school is a bad idea because kids and teachers need a break from textbooks, classes, waking up early, etc. Why I think this because studies show that test scores from year round schools and traditional schools are the same there is nothing different about it. I do not attended year round school but I think the experience would be hard and tiring and you would never get a break. Summer time helps kids to grow and mature. Year-round school also costs parents more because usually the older kids stay home and watch the younger siblings but they cant with year round school. Summer gives kids a time to recharge their brains and get ready for a fresh start for the upcoming year.

The Quotes off The Website

There are additional reasons for not changing the traditional school calendar.  Summer time allows children to grow and mature, which may ultimately give them a new outlook for the upcoming school year and provide them with the chance for a fresh start. 

Year-round education may also cost parents more, since new day care arrangements might have to be made.  Parents have traditionally relied on teenage siblings or babysitters who were always available during the summer months and who were willing to accept less than minimum wage.  With year-round schooling, these teenagers will no longer be available, forcing parents to use high-cost day care professionals all the time.  For their parts, teenagers may also find that a summer job is out of reach with a year-round system, leaving them without spending money or money for college.  They are forced then to choose the alternative -- working during the school term -- which may lower grades overall.  Teachers who depend on summer employment outside the educational system to augment their income will also lose money.  Because it appears that saving money cannot be guaranteed, I do not believe schools should change to a year-round calendar.

You know when your tummy hurts you head aches and you feel like a pile of poop, well that's how I feel. I could not even eat one of my favorite dinners, RIBS. Being sick is soooooooooooooo not fun it feels like at school you miss sooooooooo much and have much more homework the next day. people think being sick is fun until It happens to them they ach they whine and cry until their face hurts. Being sick is not fun.

I loves my pets

O yes I do

They cuddle me snuggle me

And make me happy

Through thick and thin

They put me on a better path

To what lies ahead

Even though the road has had bumps and hills

They always forgave me for what was before

School and Summer

Fall and Spring 

From start to finish 

We will be together

For now and forever

A year round calender in Michigan is a bad idea because kids need a chance to have a break from school. Kids do not have an extended summer break to play, go to summer camp and hang out with friends. Achievement in year-round schools was no higher than in traditional schools (Bradley McMillan, Education Week). Year-round school and traditional school both require students to go to school 180 days per year. During year round school it just stresses kids out even though normal schools have the same amount of day in the school year.
