Chess Clock Catastrophe
"Ding dong!" The door bell rang. I got up from my comfortable position in my chair, I took my phone with me, I didn't wan't to lose the game I was playing (I couldn't pause it). As I approached the wooden door, I wintinessed my golden retriever dog viguriously sctratching at the already marked up surface. He turned his soft furry head to take a quick glance at me and then turned back. The clawing slowed but didn't stop. I think he knew that I would soon open the door, but the exitement was to strong for him, he just couldn't control himself. He did this everytime he heard the high pitched sound of the doorbell.
The image wasn't clear, but I could make out the features of my old chess coach standing behind the glass window on the door that I was looking through. What was he doing here?
Year-Round School Argument Paragraph
Year-round schooling is a bad idea. The main reason it's not yet extinct is because people think it "increases student academic acheivment". This claim is not even remotly 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. This is only one of the many studies performed that have proved the year-round schooling concept does not help.
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, untill they leave or graduate year-round school entirely.
Year-round schooling isn't anything new, infact, it's been around almost 200 years. So why isn't being used as the traditional schedual 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."

There is already so many flaws in the traditional school system. Why make school even more enefficient? Year-round schooling is simply a bad idea.
