SummaryThere is an increasing popularity in year-round school programs that are seen as alternatives to the traditional ten-month school calendar. This alternative was seen as necessary in order to match the educational superiority of economically leading countries such as Japan which have longer school days than that of the United States. However, both educational experts and parents have very different and extreme views about this new concept. Debates have often been done whether or not there is really a need for this alternative school schedule. Educational experts and a number of parents, which are in favor for this year-round school calendar, believe that there are academic benefits to be obtained because of the continuous schedule of schooling and learning. They also believe that shorter summer breaks would also give additional academic benefits and would be more convenient to working parents.
