Year-Round Schooling Essay

Year-round schooling is a bad idea. The main reason it's not yet extinct is because people think it "increases student academic achievement". This claim is not even remotely true.
 By collecting data from over 345,000 north public schools,the North Carolina department of public instruction found that the student achievement was virtually the same between year-round and traditional calendered schools.
(Year-round school in the United States)
This is only one of the many studies performed that have proved the year-round schooling concept is not an advancement in schooling. Just a more stressful method of teaching the same stuff.
Unlike their peers in schools with traditional schedules, students in year-round schools don't have major breaks. To complicate matters even more, in some of those schools, not all students are even on year-round schedules! This means some students will be stressed, tired, unstimulated, and confused, until they leave or graduate year-round school entirely.
Since 1980, 95% of schools who have tried the year-round schedule have switched back the next year.
(YRS - the issues)
Year-round schooling isn't anything new, infact, it's been around almost 200 years.
So why isn't being used as the traditional schedule in the majority of modern schools? Because it doesn't offer what it promises.
 "If you want to go to school in the summer, go to summer school."
 (prestonfitzgerald)
 There is already so many flaws in the traditional school system. Why make school even more inefficient? Year-round schooling is simply a bad idea.

Bricked

"Hello, Hunter!" " Hello, Kevin!" "So what did you do over the weekend?" Kevin asked.
"Well, I tried to jailbreak my phone but it didn't really work."
"It didn't work?" Simon walked over "You probably did it the wrong way. Let me see."
He took the phone from my hands just as class was starting.
I looked over at his desk. I knew what he was doing. A wave of nervousness passed through my body.
Class had finally ended and we were released from the prison that was the language arts class. Simon walked up to me. My phone in his hands.
"Click on the cydia icon when the phone boots up."
"You're sure that this will work, right?"
"Don't worry."
It was art class and my phone was still rebooting.
Simon's little Acer wasn't enough.
My Iphone was bricked.

Google Adsense

Finally! I had successfully put Google AdSense on my blog. It is suppose to give me money for simply displaying ads on my blog. Every time someone clicks on the ad currently being shown to them, the advertisers send money to my dads bank account (which he doesn't know about). It seems like an easy way to make a lot of money, if performed on a larger scale.

Have you ever heard of the Great Pyramid of Giza? Well, if you haven’t, it’s basically a two million block pyramid that also works as a tomb, and is located in Egypt. If you have heard of it, you probably learned that it was built by 100,000 Jewish slaves, working against their will, over the course of around like 70 years. Well, it turns out that recent archeological findings have shown that this is all very wrong. The people building it were honored workers, not slaves, and unlike past beliefs there’s actually proof for this. It all started with a single tourist just strolling around on a horse. This tourist eventually discovered a mud-brick tomb, and then another one, and another one, they were showing up all over the place. So what were these mysterious tombs built for? They were for the people that worked on The Great Pyramid of Giza. Carefully preserved bodies lay inside each one. So how do we know these weren’t dead slaves? Slaves wouldn’t be buried like this. With their insides placed inside jars that lay beside them, given beer and bread for the “afterlife” which is actually in afterlife life.

Scuba Diving Shock

I glanced around at the rest of the people, they where virtually unrecucnisable. In an effort to relax, I gracfully swam around the corals located on the sea floor. I was in Cancun, Mexico. I had just been dumped in the string of ocean between Isla Moharis and Mexico. I was very nervous. The corals were swaying with the current, feeding off the various planktons that happend to move near them. They didn't wan't to be bothered. They were loaded woth stingers.
