Why should the school years be shorter? I need facts and quotes
Answer:
Explanation:
As a (High school, Middle, or Elementary) student who has to go to school every day, I think that the school years should be shorter for a lot of reasons. According to the National Education Association, students spend an average of 1,000 hours in school each year. This long period of schooling can lead to mental exhaustion, lack of motivation, and burnout among students. Moreover, research has shown that students who attend shorter school years tend to have better academic performance than those who attend traditional-length school years. For example, a study conducted by the University of Virginia found that students who participated in a school program that had a shorter year had better standardized test scores and higher graduation rates than their peers who attended longer programs.
Shortening the school year would also provide benefits for teachers who are responsible for instructing their students. A study conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics found that classroom teachers often spend an average of 1,400 hours per year in the classroom, and this can be a very grueling experience. Shortening the school year would ease the heavy load placed on teachers and give them more time to rest and recharge. Additionally, it would also give them time to focus on professional development and improve their instructional strategies, which would ultimately benefit their students. In conclusion, shortening the school year would enable students and teachers to take a much-needed break and come back to school refreshed and ready to learn and teach effectively.
