  1. I would love an extra month of summer vacation. Although some may argue that kids need to get back to school. Also, they might argue that 2 and a half months is plenty of break. However, I think kids should have an extra month because kids need breaks too! Furthermore, kids are tired after 7ish months of hard work at school. That is why kids should have an extra month of summer break. -Buck B.

  2. although I think that kids should have another month of summer, some may argue that they need lots of education. Also, they might forget math things. However, the kids get to see history statues and read about them. Also, they could have more homework so they do not forget math fact.-George c.

  3. Although I think kids should have one more month of summer vacation, Some may argue that they shouldn't. For example, maybe teachers think kids will forget what they learned i forget to do their homework. Furthermore, Kids might not want to go back after being on break so long. However, If kids did have another month of summer break they get to relax more so they will be able to focus at school. I definitely think kids should get one more month of summer.

  5. Although kids should have another month of summer vacation, som may argue that shouldn't. For example the child could stop learning about what they need to learn about.Also, the kid could start becoming careless about school. However,if you think about it having a extra month of summer vacation wouldn't be so bad. Like, you could have a extra month of relaxing and hanging out with your family.

  6. I think kids should not have an extra month of summer break because they could not see their friends a lot over the break,they would also not do there best when they are at school.But some may argue they should because they can play at home, and can also relax all day. this is why I think kids should not have an extra day of summer break.-Ryan

  7. I think that kids should have another month of summer, but some may argue that kids should just stay the same. For example, they parents need to go to work. Also, the kids need more education. However, the kids already have 10 months.

  9. Although kids should have an extra month of vacation,some may argue that you shouldn't have an extra month of summer.For example,it will conflict with education,and they will not get as good grades.Plus,they all ready have 2 and a half months of summer and that,and that is already plenty of time for kids to hang out.However, kids should get an extra month because they only have two and a half months of summer,and 9 and a half months of school.Furthermore,the kids worked hard for the whole school year and deserve to get to have an extra month of summer.That is why I think kids should have an extra month of summer.

  10. I think kids should get one more month of summer, but some may say that kids need to get smarter be having more school. To the kids it might sound silly or crazy not to the teachers though! Furthermore, it is not gust the teachers who think you need more school it is also the parentes. They love when you go to school because they can take napes or go shopping with out you!That is why parentes and teachers do not let you have anougher month of freedom.

  12. Although I think that we should get an one more month of summer some may say that being away from school will make us forget all about school. Also, we might not want to go to school at all after 4 months of summer. But if we did have 4 months of summer then we could do more summer homework. Furthermore, it would be better to get more of a break from school. That's why we should have more summer break.

  13. Although kids should have an extra month of summer vacation, some may argue that an extra month is to long. For example, it might make them forget some things they learned in school, they might sleep in later, and they won't be ready to get up in time. However, an extra month of school couldn't hurt, kids also have 10 months of school of working so they do deserve an extra month, also kids won't forget anything they learned because they would do their homework over summer break, and summer break your supposed to chill, have fun, and sleep in. That is why kids should have a extra month of school, because kids deserve it.

  14. I think kids should get one more month of summer.Although some may argue that kids should only have 2/1/2 months of summer.{Not Me!}Some say that too much summer can hurt their learning.Also, people say that if you don't learn things constantly you will forget them.I think more summer is a way for kids to get more active and to be outside and also go to fun overnight camps.Also, summer is a season were you can swim and go to your country club, mine is Belle Meade.I love to golf there and have fun with friends.This is way I would love to have more summer every year.

  15. Although kids should have an extra month of summer vacation, some may argue they should not. For example, kids already get a long summer. Also, parents get more time to themselves. However, kids will have more time to relaxs. Finally, kids already half to go to school for 10 months, but why not 9 months. Kids should have more summer vacation. Asher

  16. I think kids should have an extra month of vacation. Although, some may argue they shouldn't have an extra month. For example, it can take away from remembering math facts or other school things. However, you can spend more time with your family or you could swim and play games at your country club, I go to Richland Country Club, (AKA RCC).Lastly, you could watch good movies like Moana!!! Overall, I would love to have an extra month of summer!

  17. Even though I think that kids should be able to have one extra month of summer, some might think not. they think this because they think that kids should learn how to do things, but couldn't you just add a year of school? and we could just do extra homework. this is why I think that kids should get extra summer!

  18. Although kids should have an extra month of summer vacation, some may argue otherwise. For example, kids need to learn stuff and if the vacation is too long then they will forget everything. However, kids should have an extra month because summer vacation is not long enough. That is why kids should have an extra month of summer break.

  19. Although kids should have a extra month of summer vacation, some may argue that kids should be in PRISON for a months worth of relaxation. For example, kids would come back to school with a mushy brain. However, over the summer kids could be working in a community cleaning the park, visiting a school, or making food for the homeless. If the kids don't have a break the teacher don't either.

  20. Although kids should have a extra month of summer vacation some might argue that we should not get a extra month of summer, and people would be on video games and your head would get mushy. most of all, I think we should have another month of summer.

  21. Even though kids should have a extra month of summer some may argue that they shouldn't. For example they could maybe forgot how to do stuff like write and long multplecation, and they could maybe act up in class more cause they didn't have school for another month. However kids `could maybe learn more things in the summer if they had a extra month. Also they would be able to have more fun because they would get a extra month of summer. That is why I think kids should have a extra month for summer.

  22. I think kids should have one more month of summer. Although some may argue that an extra month is to much. For example, it would be one less month of learning at school. However, the child would get one more month to play outside. That is why I think kids should have a extra month of summer!

  23. Although kids should have a extra month of summer break, some may argue that we shouldn't. For example, we would do a million things over the summer and forget the things we had learned. Also, it might mean we won't have a lot of time to learn. Although, kids would be more active and do more stuff. I like to my pool a lot because my family is a member. Also, we have a giant amount of time when we are working hard (nine months is a lot). Those are my reasons why we should have a extra month of summer.

  24. I think kids should have a extra month of summer but some may argue that kids should not However,parents could want their children to go back to school early because they don't want their kids to forget about what they learned last year.Some may say for kids to have a longer summer because just to give your kid a break or to do chores but I personally like the first one.

  25. Although I think kids should have another month of vacation some may argue that they shouldn't. For example, they could forget some of their math facts. However, I think if we (kids) can get more vacation because teachers can go on vacation whenever they want so why can't we? -Mary

  27. Although I think kids should have one more month of summer vacation,some may argue that kids should not have one more month of summer vacation. For example,the kids wold be behind on math,reading,writing,and other subjects in school. However, if you do have another month of summer vacation you could go on another trip but especially for the kids they can win and play more in fortnite battle royal (play free now also so on mobile)
