This article talks a lot about how summer learning loss is a real problem and uses many unproven or reused reasons to support year round schooling. For me this article sounded like a broken record saying that we no longer need a long summer break and that it really hurts the amount of things students remember. I love the long summer break and I would never want to change to year round school for a few reasons. First of all the three months of summer that we get is the best time to travel in Michigan. My family and I go up north to Traverse City a few times a year and while it is fun in the winter, you don't get to experience all of the things you get to if you go in the summer. Secondly this article uses the argument that students learn to have a healthier diet during the school year. I think kids eat healthier in the summer even with all of the ice cream and smore's waved in their face. When you're home you notice more of the food you need in the house. It also gives you a chance to eat more of the delicious fruits that are good in the summertime like watermelon and berries.
