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

Are the world's oceans polluted (contaminated)? This is a question many experts have asked. There are signs of pollution in our oceans, such as a large floating body (mass) of plastic and garbage in the Pacific Ocean. There have also been oil (petroleum) spills around the world that have caused harm. However, I don't feel like these issues (problems) have hurt the oceans to the point of worry. Animals and fish are still surviving, and when I go to the beach I don't find myself swimming in plastic.

• the world's oceans are only half-way polluted

• the ocean's creatures are dying because of pollution

• the oceans are just fine, Pollution is not a big problem yet.

• the oceans need to be saved immediately

Johnson Public School should start a "homework hour" after school. That way, students can have the time and space to do schoolwork after the final bell. The early start time this year means that school is also getting out earlier than in years past. We're finding that many parents are not able to pick up their children at the earlier hour. "Homework hour" would help solve this problem. It would give students a place to wait for rides while also being productive. Also, studies by the school district have found that students are 50% more likely to complete all their homework if they do it immediately after school. This would help them do so. For these reasons alone, homework hour seems like a great idea that we need to put into place at once. What is the author's point?

• Some parents can not pick up their children.

• The author’s school should have a “homework hour” after school.

• The author's school is a great school.

• Homework is important.
