What is this author's point of view...I think all students should go to school year round (all year). As an educator, I see many students lose knowledge they have gained from the previous year over the summer. I also see that many students have a hard time getting back into a school routine when it begins again in the fall. I feel school should continue year round with more short breaks (vacation) for students in between.

• school should be held year round (all year)

• the school year should be shorter

• kids should have a longer summer break

• students should have to come to school on the weekends
