Kids should have an extra month of summer vacation.

Although I think kids should have one more month of summer time some may argue we should not. For example, you not learn enough before you go to a different school. However, kids would get more fit doing swimming and diving, and also teachers would not have to do as much getting up in the morning at 5:30! That is why I think kids should have more summer!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think we should cut some school off and take longer summer break, Some may argue that staying in school longer is better. However giving kids longer break would give them more time to play outside, or spend time with family. But staying in school would help us remember stuff longer before we go on break. Of course I want to have a longer break, but others (like parents) would like us to stay in school so we are learning. I hope you agree that we should have a longer summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough i think kids should have a extra month of summer vacation. Some may argue that school should have that extra month. For example, You might learn more. you would have more time to perfect your skills. Most of all you would have a extra month of education. However, i think kids should have a extra month of summer vacation. For example, You could have more fun. Have more time to meet new people. Most of all You will have more time to play sports and do what you want.
ReplyDeleteI think kids should have an extra month of summer, but some may argue that kids shouldn't. For example, during summer, many kids forget the things they learned in school and they will forget even more if they have an extra month of summer. Also parents will have to go to their jobs and it will cost extra money if they have to pay for summer camps and babysitters. However, I think kids should have an extra month of summer vacation because they have to do 9 months of school and only 3 months of summer vacation and kids need time to relax. Also when kids wake up early some can get very grumpy, and they can sleep in during summer and they will be less grumpy for an extra month. I think kids should have an extra month of summer vacation.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think kids should get more summer some people disagree.For example some people think we would forget stuff.However I think we should get more time. For example we could go more places,also we would be ready for school. That's why I think kids should get more summer!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think that we should have an extra month of summer some people may argue that we should go to school on time. For example, you will get more time to learn and not hang out with family. Another cool thing about not having an extra month of summer you would get to see friends from school more. But also, when you get to have an extra month of summer you get to have more time to do what ever you want {witch you do not get to do at school} or play with brothers or sisters. That is why I think that you should get an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think that kids should have an extra month of summer, some may argue that we shouldn't have summer. For example, you won't know less than you already know( your mom might say), or you might forget things to do for school. However, I think that we should have more summer because we will build our imagination for writing in school. You might think we will forget, but you could make us do 15 minutes of reading and math a day! That is why I think summer should be longer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think we should have an extra month of summer some may argue, it should stay the same. For example we would have more time of school and learning. However, with an extra month of summer kids can have more time to do what they want and not have to get up every morning and go to school. Another reason some people think that summer should be the same length is because we need to get educated for when we grow up. Another reason I think kids should get an extra month of summer is because we don't have to focus on school and just sit back and relax on the beach or play outside and get active. I think kids should get one whole extra month in the summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think kids should an extra month of vacation, some may say they should cut summer brake. For example, some might think they should learn more instead of goofing off on summer brake. They may say summer brake is too long, and kids aren't learning enough. Or they might say it's good for kids to stay in school longer then summer brake. But I think kids should have a longer brake. However, kids need to have a lot of fun in life. They have worked hard to earn their summer brake. Lastly I think because,they need to get more active. That is why I think kids should have a longer summer brake.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think we should have another month of summer, some may arguet that you should have a month less. For example, we would get more of an education. Also you will get to be with you friends more often than you usually get to see them. Lastly if you go to school a month early then you will be able to worship the Lord more then once a week. I think that we should have one month more of summer. For example, you might have some family plans that you need to attend to and so that you won't miss school or you won't miss the family plans. Another reason is that If you have not done all of your homework that is asighned then you can do it. Lastly it is good because you might not even be ready. That is why I think you should have one more month of summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think kids should have an extra month of summer, Some may argue that they shouldn't For example, parents may want thier kids to have a full school year because you can learn more and also mabye parents want to have more time to do things for them selfs because they don't get that much time to do what they want. And also if kids get an extra month of summer they might forget a lot of stuff when they come back.However, I think that kids should get an extra month of summer because, you know in the year when we have a lot of half days what if they took away the half days and just gave us more summer time. Also for more than half of the year we have school, we also are at school more than we are at home. We should also have a longer break because school is way longer than summer. That is why I think we should have an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough kid should have a month longer of summersome may argue that summer should be shorter. For example,the kids could study more. For example,be smarter then the average kid. However kids might have studied a lot while school was going on and need a longer break orthey might already then the average kid. That is what I think about having a month longer of school.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think we should have a extra month in summer some may disagree.For example,if we had a longer summer we wouldn't have to worry about our summer reading because we have a long time to finish.Although I think that some may think that we will forget to much learning that we'll have to start going back to learn it.But I think if we do our summer reading it will be good enough to keep our mind in the school feeling.But some may say that we already miss school enough with breaks.Though we would still have more school.
ReplyDeleteI think kids should have a extra month of summer, but some may argue not to have a longer summer. For example, some argue it should shorter because their addicted to school. Another reason why is because maybe they don't like the sun or being outside like Howie from Bench warmers. However we should have a longer summer because we could relax more or even visit more places. That's why I think we should have a longer summer.
ReplyDeleteI think we should have a extra month of summer. Some may argue that we do not need a extra month. For example we won't learn anything and we won't have enough time to learn what we need in school. But we will learn like if you went to Florida you could learn about shells,fish,and the sea. That is why we should have one extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough kids should have an extra month of summer vacation, some may argue that kids should not have an extra month of summer vacation. For example, you cannot learn some of the things that you were going to learn in that extra month. Also the only way to learn all the things is to add 1 or 2 more hours of school to each day. However, we need time to sit and relax after all the long work of school. Also, if we have any extra work to do we will have time to do it in the extra month. This is why I think we should have an extra month of school.
ReplyDeleteAlthough summer should be a month longer, some people may argue that it should stay the same and maybe shorter! For example, they might think school work is what you need to do in summer instead of having fun! However, summer is suppose to be about fun so it should be longer! I think summer should be a month longer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough kids should have an extra month of summer vacation some may argue kids should not have extra month of summer vacation. For example, parents want some time to them self while kids are in school, they want to go to sleep when they drop kids off, and they want to have cookies when kids are away. However, kids like to spend time with parents, play outside with their friends, and sleep in when they don't have anything to do.
ReplyDeleteAlthough Ithink kids should get another month of school some may argue.For example I think we should get another month because we have a whole year of school and two months of summer.But some people may say that we should not because our parents have to work and they would have to get somebody to watch us.That is why I think that we should get another month of school.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think summer should be longer others may argue that it shouldn't. For example, if we stay in school longer we learn more so we won't have to learn as much next year. Also parents like to have time to do their jobs while the kids are in school. However, if kids are out longer they will go swimming and play outside and stay healthy instead of being cooped up in school. Also Parents like mine have to wake up at 6:30 every mourning to take me to school. And I'm sure they would like a lot of that sleep they missed back. I hope you agree with me.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think that kids should have a extra month of summer some may argue that we shouldn't. For example kids may forget everything that they learned in the year pasted. I think we should have an extra month of summer because we would have more time to go on vacation and go to sleep away camp and all the other stuff that summer has for us. Another reason I think we should have and extra month of summer is so teachers get a break from the long year they had.That is why I think that we should have a extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough kids should have an extra month of summer some may argue that we should not. For example, some may say that if you don't go to school as much you will not be as smart as you want to be and you may not be as successful when you are older. However, kids should have time to play and be free for longer than three months because that time goes away super duper fast. Kids also need to sleep longer to be more healthy
ReplyDeleteAlthough kids should have an extra month of summer, some may argue that if they do, they will forget the things that they learned in school. For example, if you have an extra month of summer, you might forget the projects that you have to do over the break. Or you could be relaxing sooo much that they forget how to do math or stuff like that. However, having an extra month of summer would be great because we get more rest. Also, we get more time to play sports and have fun with our friends. Having an extra month of summer could relive so much stress!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think kids should have an extra month of summer vacation, some people may argue that kids should not have an extra month of vacation. Kids should not because if they do, they might not learn as much. Also, they would be thinking about extra summer the whole year instead of what they are soppossed to be thinking about. However, if kids have more summer, they can get in touch with their family and get better at certain activities. Also, kids can have a chance to refresh their minds without having to worry about school. That is why I think kids should have an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteI think we should have more summer vacation but some may argue not to. For example, The more we stay in school the more we will be ready for college. Also parents need to work and earn money for not stay home and watch us or pay for camps. But I think we should get more summer because we need to get more sleep. Also we need to do the stuff we wan't because 3/4 of the year we spend in school. I think we should have more summer vacation.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I want a extra month of summer. Some may argue that you shouldn't have extra time. For example, kids might want to learn about things in school. Also they might want to see there friends every day of the week. However I think you should get a extra month of summer. For example, when you are stressed in the beginning of school you could be in the funnest place on earth. Also when your at the funnest place on earth you can have so much to do and you can invite your best friends to the funnest place on earth, also when your birthday is in August instead it can be in summer. And that is why I want to have a whole extra month of SUMMER!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think kids should have an extra month of summer, some may argue that we shouldn't. For example, principles may argue that we shouldn't get an extra month of summer because they don't get payed as much. They also might argue that we shouldn't get an extra month of school because we need to learn more. But I think that kids should have an extra month of summer because kids need lots of exersize. Another reason I think that kids should have an extra month of summer is because life is too short so kids need time to be with their families. That is why I think kids should get an extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think kids should have a extra month of summer, some may argue that kids should not. For example, parents may think kids need more education instead of playing on video games or watching T.V. Another example, is that parents may have something to do and they don't want us kids to be there. So we don't bother them. In my opinion I think kids should have an extra month of summer
ReplyDeleteAlthough kids should have a month extra of summer vacation,some may argue that school is more important.For example,it gives you more education,makes you smarter,and you get to have recess for 25 minutes:(.However kids are at school there entire life and they hardly have time to spend with your parents,and especially if one of your parents has an all day job like mine.Also you can't play your ipad at recess,and we have to play board games like monopoly.When your done with a test in math or science you just have to wait there.On our fun breaks out of school we have to read 8 or more hours.We also have to do homework every night, and during the weekends.We also have to write letters about how are break was.This is why I think kids should have an extra month of $UMMER:).
ReplyDeleteAlthough I wish we had a month more summer time, some may argue you should not AKA parents because they get annoyed by there child well mine does and you could also be smarter just by the month, but if you get out early it will make kids happy, and then they will be ready for school. That's why I think you should have month off. :-)
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think that kids should have a extra month of summer some may argue we shouldn't have another month of school. For example,some may say that kids should have less summer because they want to be smarter.Another reason some say that kids shouldn't is some may say that because they need their kids to go somewhere so they just drop them off at school.However, some kids may time to relax,play with their friends, go on vacations,go to camps, and SLEEP!!!!!!Another reason I think kids should have a extra month of school is so people have time to sleep and not wake up so early in the morning,not just kids but teacher and parents.Those are all the reasons I thinks kids should have a extra month of school.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think that kids should have one extra month of summer,some people think they should not because school helps them be prepared for the future.Also, if you have working parents then it is hard on them to help you and focus on their job.However I think kids should have one extra month of summer because kids are getting antsy just sitting in a confined space for almost 9 strait months.Also kids should be out playing and sight seeing.Also I think kids should have one extra month of summer because they start to not like school because they are having to be at school so much.Lastly I think kids should have one extra month of summer because kids love having fun and traveling to different places and seeing new things that they have never seen before and they love playing with their family during the summer.That is why I think kids should have one extra month of summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough I think that kids should have an extra mouth of summer vacation, Some may argue that it shouldn't. For example, some parents might want their kids to go for a full year so that can learn more. They might for things over the summer. Lastly then you will be able to go to church longer. However, I that kids should have an extra of summer vacation. For example, we have already learn so and we need a longer break. Also we can then do family thing, sleep-in, and do more things with friends. Lastly we can go on family vacations and go to sleep away camps. That is why I think that kids should have an extra mouth of summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough OHS should have a extra month of summer vaction some may argue that it is better to have only two months. For example, parents want to relax and have time to there self, also some parents like to sleep in and don't have to worry about their kids because they are at school. However, we want to have a longer summer vaction for example, we love to have friends come over amd play that is why I want to have one more month of summer.
ReplyDeleteAlthough, I think we should have an extra month of summer break, some people think that we should have more school (NO! we have a lot of school).Another reason is because they want to see all the children and, I respect that. My reason is because you have to admit that who wouldn't love some more summer break.Another reason, summer break isn't just about being out of school it's about us being with family and with friends. Last but not least, I think that summer is the only season it's the hot or at least the hottest and I would like to stay in the hot weather as long as I can. That's why think we should have an extra mouth of summer.
