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.
