1 teacher are going to have to wake up earlier so they will be more tired than usually and they have to teach more. and teachers are not going to have enough coffee for the day. 2. kids are going to have to go asleep earlier then usuall and kids are going to have to get used to new time and that would be weird for us 3 it would not be good in general and what would be the point of changing the time now.

# data[].attributes.body
because if we extend our year kids will get exhausted because the summer is the time to chill.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think school shouldn't be longer cause it's already 8 hours that's enough time for me to be at school. And let's say you do make it longer than that just a shorter school year, not by a lot but still.

2. Another reason why I think school shouldn't be longer is that I have a family at my house and I wanna see them. And I'm pretty sure most people do too.

3. My last reason why school shouldn't be longer is teachers stay after school so if it were to be longer they would still be her for a while.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think no because in the summer I would have to walk to my house in the heat of summer

2. my second reason is school already tacks up most of our time if you mack it longer then people would be stressed

3. my third reason is that the staff would hav to work longer to keep the school cleen

# data[].attributes.body
1. I don't think that we should have an extra school because we do not need to have more stuff to were already know how to do it.

2. And if you do have an extra school then we will have a lot more stress on our hands.

3. and when you get home you do not spend as much time as you would in the summer

# data[].attributes.body
1 school should not be longer because it will just make you really angry and frustrated.

2 School should not be longer because we get HOMEWORK there is school for a reason!

3 School should not be longer because school is already 7 hours of work and if it was longer it would just be sad.

# data[].attributes.body
1. NO  school should not be longer because 8 hours is enough for us

2. we barley get to be at home

3. we stare at an computer to long

# data[].attributes.body
1 .The question should there be more school hours. My answer is no there should not be more school hours we spend 175 days in school out of the year.

2 .8 hours a day, 40 hours a week. It would be good for our education, but we do have homework, which really counts as more.

3. So my answer to this question is a no. And it would cause a ton of stress.

# data[].attributes.body
1. We should not have a longer school year because it would be stressful for the kids who want to go home and have more time to think about work they have to catch up on
2. A longer school day means more homework and more homework leads to stress and more work to catch up on
3.A longer school day also means that you won't be able to spend more time with your family

# data[].attributes.body
1. just "sigh" just I don"t even know. reason one, your whole day would just be school all day, you'll be stressed and have no you time for home and in middle school, you have no recess all you have is lunch.

2. kids would be more angry around people also they would be mentally and physically drained and feel like there lonely because they don't get to talk really i mean already are school has to be quite and we feel shut out i mean i feel like i am not aloud to talk and the time that people are supposed to talk.

3. you wouldn't be able to see your family almost half all your life because when you get home you'll be going home just to sleep and i feel kids feel more safe and secure at home because there are just too many people at school.

# data[].attributes.body
1 because I need to become unstressed so I can sleep then I will be angry sad and depressed.

2 kids get enough education to afford want 3 days to just sit in a classroom and look sad and depressed.

3 it is just a waste of time when you could be in the summer sun chilling and having fun.

# data[].attributes.body
1 no bc it stress kids out and that stress can turn into anger.
2 we should not have a longer school year bc it is going to make us have a short summer.

# data[].attributes.body
1. School does not help the student but gives the student stress. And with all of the scatted breaks around the year, it's hard for parents to take care of their children if the student can't watch the child while their parents are at work.

2. A longer school year would give less time for teachers and students to spend time with their families. Teachers would have to spend all of their time planning lessons and students will have homework that usually takes up most of their time.

3. School leaders are expecting students' grades to go up by expanding the year, but that didn't work out. Students' grades are not getting higher, but getting lower. Back to my first point, it gives the students stress.

# data[].attributes.body
1Most children who attend public and private schools in the U.S. spend between 175 to 185 days in the classroom a year and enjoy a summer break between the months of jun and Setember.

# data[].attributes.body
Reason one: We should not have a longer school year because we have summer school. And some people need a break from school.

Reason two: They also stress that a longer school day would allow less time for family and extracurricular activities.

Reason three: If we get more days of school it will bring a lot of stress. and homework brings a lot of stress to a lot of people.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think that school should not be extended because first of all it would be extremely stressful and sometimes kids want some time to themself to relax. This can lead to mental health issues with all the work and even homework kids might have to do.

2. Another leading factor is sleep, the human body NEEDS sleep, and without it, death could occur I know that sounds harsh but sleep deprivation is real. we also need sleep to help us function and DO work. And since we'll have a longer school year means less sleep.

3. More pressure and with that pressure means possibly lower grades and STRESS. And the human body needs breaks and time to relax (again) it might also be stressful for teachers because longer workdays and more copies to print out and more stress on them, so that is why I think school should not be extended.

# data[].attributes.body
1:because we need and break from learning and stress because it's not good for us to be stressing that much.

2: we need a break from school to have time to play our we are not going to be healthy.

3: because we need to give our teachers time to think and get ready to get started for the new school year.

# data[].attributes.body
1. If we add more days of school more and more pressure will be added to the students and the grades won't go up but will lower.

2. The teacher would have to come up with more lesson plans and they would not be able to spend time with their families and neither will the students.

3. And if we increase the year and spend more days at school and then some kids getting summer school kids will not have a summer break at all. That would not be good for the next to come.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think that school should be longer because say that you have a lot of homework and its the end of the day and you walk home stressed about the homework you have and how long it'll take for you to be done and say that you wanted to play some games now you can't and say you don't finish your homework then you have study hall! and then you get more stressed out

# data[].attributes.body
School should not be longer because we have to go to bed early and that leaves us with less time to finish homework and watch tv.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I don't think school should be longer because that just equals more homework, stress, and some kids might not finish their homework before they go to sleep then they'll be behind and that could cause study hall.

2. Well yes it can help kids if they don't understand something but again stress, and more homework just leads to tired angry parents or guardians unless that's just my parents but some kids need help at home than their parents/guardians will have to either deal with it and help or they'll just tell you to do it tomorrow.

3. For school to be longer is just tiring kids need their rest, especially younger ones ever wondered we they go to sleep first? Also, some kids might sleep during class then their teacher might get mad because they're tired and sleeping in class while they're teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
1.It can stress kids out with homework what if they have to do homework and they have missing work its hard to catch up on the homework and your missing work at the same time

2.Why should we have more school it is already hard for students to learn as it is more time of school would make is harder for students that have a hard time learning

3.Longer school would end at 6:00 and your bed time is at 9:30 and you have homework for all three classes you would be so tired you don't want to get up in the morning

# data[].attributes.body
1. school is hard I don't think
it's good. it gives lots of stress.

2. I think if longer school more homework and that gives lots of stress.

3. We already have lots of school time so nooo.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Students would be less happy to finish their work because longer days means more work.

2.  Yes, they could get more things done but more work could bring stress then children would be behind even further.

3. It would also cause borden to kids and make them lack on work, falling asleep, and not paying attention.

# data[].attributes.body
A longer school does sound like a good idea but, is it really.

1. School is super stressful on both students  AND teachers. Some students like me get so stressed out they forget what to do. Like when I'm watched while doing work I pretty much forget how to do it and I know I'm not the only one. Teachers are always stressed out about students and what they do and get headaches. Students also talk too much that teachers end up yelling and that's not fun for teachers or students

2. why should it be longer. Some students don't learn that good and a longer school might just make it harder on them and even more brain-numbing for the student.

3. What if students get bullied? The longer school is the more a student gets bullied.

4. School is BORING. We already sit through 8 hours of brain-numbing learning why should we go through more?

# data[].attributes.body
1. School should not be longer, if school was longer, the kids would get tired and work less effitently.
2. Another reason school should not be longer, is because the kids would get stressed out, and could really damage mental health.
3. The last reason school should not be longer, is because studys show that a repeat in peoples day can lead to mental problems, and people need to be entertained for them to be happy, the longer the day, the more sleep you need, which means an earlier bed time, which means not very much time for activities.

# data[].attributes.body
1. It brings Borden to kids and stress also the amount of homework might double and kids can be behind.
2. More school can lead to kids falling asleep in class and missing work.
3. If the school days were longer then teachers can not find any more lessons to teach they would keep teaching the same lessons over and over again.

# data[].attributes.body
1. It can give stress.

2. You can give homework and it would be counted as practice.

# data[].attributes.body
1 Why would anyone make school have a long day if you are mad like in the middle of the day and you wait till the day is done they can get even madder then if they are stressed then it can turn that stress into anger.
2 school can get really boring plus it could even cause people to sleep that's why middle school people sleep sometimes.
3 plus students can be bullied for so much longer at middle school.

# data[].attributes.body
1. It brings kids too much stress to their schoolwork and if they have homework it would be even more stressful.
2. more school means more work and it is hard for people to catch up anyways.
3. If school is longer your bedtime will become earlier and some kids have practices.

1. According to a survey shared by Superintendent Veronica García at a school board meeting Tuesday night, 66 percent of district staff are unwilling to work an additional 20 days. After the meeting, Elias Bernardino, the district's chief data and analytics officer, said 55 percent of school staff said they would not be willing to work an additional five days

2. Nearly 52 percent of 815 district employees who responded to the survey listed teacher and student burnout as the top challenge to extending the school year. For the second straight school year, the state Public Education Department will pay for school districts to implement K-5 Plus, a voluntary program for teachers and students that adds 20 to 25 days to the school calendar over the summer, and extended learning, which adds 10 days of class time anywhere in the school calendar.

3. "We were surprised about the additional five days. There was not a lot of support for that," García said. "We're happy we know that. We didn't want to create expectations in the community about extending the school year if our workforce didn't want to do it."

García also shared the district's calendar for the 2020-21 school year. School starts Aug. 17 and ends May 26. A K-5 Plus program, which traditionally serves elementary schools but the district is hoping to expand to K-8 Plus, would begin July 6 and continue through July 31.

1. Why school should not be longer because it will stress kids out and when you make school longer they won't get the sleep they need.

2. Some of the teachers won't able to work all year because they may be short on staff and teachers. Teachers need their break off of giving work to kids and it's too much homework for the kids.

3. School is 8 hours a day kids need there and teachers they need to have their time and days off school and not dealing work at all that's why school should not be longer.

  1    Landon] no because you are stressing people out and there going to be upset but if there was not that much school they will be ok and do their work  2 then everybody would get  annoyed  and would go home sleepy and have to do more work 3 then they will wake up all tired and their eyes would be  red and very dark and would fall asleep in class

1. It could make a positive difference but the parents would not have the schedule to pick their children up and not have enough time. Another thing is the teachers will get stressed out and students will have to do more work stressing them out too.

2. One other thing is that schools will have to pay more for school lunches electricity. Also, they would have to make a new schedule to fit the amount of school time and when to pay the teachers also if they make the school day longer and the week they would pay extra and the teachers would be stressed out.

3. The school workers would be stressed out too the janitors would have to clean up more than often. Also, janitors would cost more then the maintenance bill would cost more causing the school more money.

# data[].attributes.body
School already gives stress to kids, and it also takes up most of the day. Kids sometimes think they aren't smart enough or good enough at a subject.

Some teachers won't be able to work all year so schools may be short-staffed. Teachers should be able to take a break from school and kids should too, going back to my first reason it causes stress to kids.

School is almost 8 hours long. some Students won't want more school days, some kids just want to relax and take a nap at home without worrying about school and homework.

# data[].attributes.body
1. because you need more time in school because you can know more and get into a better college.

2. you can do taxes better and bills you can count money faster too.

3. you can always use some extra nolig and just help if you have kids to do homework.

# data[].attributes.body
1. School causes a lot of stress for kids and they all look forward to summer by extending the year it stresses them out even more.

# data[].attributes.body
1. School takes 8 hours of our time SO WHY MAKE IT LONGER! WHO WOULD WANT TO GO TO SCHOOL JUST TO GO TO BED WHEN YOU GET HOME!!!!

2. our eyes and brain need a break from school. Kids would be stressed if they had to go to school for the days they would have of.

3. More school makes you get not enough sleep they need, And that would make life harder.

# data[].attributes.body
Should our school be longer?

1. It causes stress to most people and if you had more days or hours you to stay up later and not get sleep.

2. the teacher would have to stay longer and teach if you need help with work then ask a friend or a teacher.

3. If we did have more days of school and sometimes I just want to take a nap or get on my phone but if you had more school and more homework which would make it more stressful and less summer break no fun right?.

# data[].attributes.body
I think school should not be longer because staff members would not want to work they would want to be with their family but instead, they would be working in the summer.

kids would not want to go if it was extended and we would have extra homework summer school is a better choice only because not every kid has to go to summer school but if the school was extended every kid would have to go.

more people would be mad because of extended school because some people would not like extended school.

# data[].attributes.body
1. I think thing yes because it gives an extra year of learning with will make your brain smarter

2. I also think yes because more jobs might accept you because you had an extra year of learning

3. Lastly I think yes because summer school is awful so I would rather have an extra year anyways

# data[].attributes.body
1. school is very hard and time-consuming to start and kids would get more stressed out this could lead to insomnia and mental health issues due to late nights staying up doing homework and school work
2. If you need extra help or need to get better at a topic/subject that's what summer school is for
3. if school hours were longer it would be bad for parents, students, and teachers.

# data[].attributes.body
Having eight hours in school is enough stress and pressure is fine we have to go to tutoring and the only break of freedom we get is lunch, recess and specials are fine enough but come on the teachers should not have to work even harder, the students should not have to work harder and it would just be unfair not to mention that we also have homework now and then and the tests, the tests are so original we have to review everything and get a good night to rest I'm fine with that but the fact that we extended school time I would fall asleep at the scenes I would have every excuse to stay home. But if the school were longer that would make my life more stressful until I just snap and go crazy I would be babbling about the school year being that long I would also feel bad for the people in the learning tree, I mean all of that work and still have to go to learning tree. Worst year ever and we only get a 15 minute recess then its back to the books I would quit school but of course my parents would get arrested so might as well figure out a way to go to the bathroom for the hole school year.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  If you have tutoring after school, you would be late if the school was longer.

2. Kids would like to have a regular summer break so they can hang out with friends but if school is extended it means less summer, causing stress to students.

3. Teachers and employees have low budgets and if school is extended it means more money out of the teacher's paychecks and the school would lose more money.

Alyssa Flores (No) Some people want school to be longer and others do not think or want school to be any longer than it should be and school should not be any longer because:                                   1. School is already eight hours and takes up most of the a your kids day to do their one personal time a free time to take a break and homework is another you kid also spends more time of the child's day on their homework.                                 2.School already causes stress on the kids and making is longer of giving more homework would cause more stress and stress can travel a give the people around the child can stress on whatever the kid can be stressing on.Also longer school days could result in difficulty in attention and young students might feel fatigue or fall asleep during class time if they are to tired to concentrate or perform.                  3.In fact school should be shorter why..because a shortened day can give your kids and teens alot more time and movement,brain breaks and other activities fiscally proven to boot your kids learning education and outcomes among the child's benefits

School is eight hours log and it take up most of are day and we have to do homework  and .I think that it should be in till 3:00. I think we should have  less homework to do and I know that some kids like school but some kids don't like school. I know how school help us learn like how to do math and reading and those subjects helps us in life.

# data[].attributes.body
1- School is very helpful for our brain so we can grow up and have a smart mind.But honestly I think we have to notice how stressful it is for kids.Sometimes teachers don't know how students feel like our grades are going down and getting in trouble then having to call our parents. It makes us stress everyday and we don't get our brain a break so the summer break will really help us.I personally think our feelings is way more important then our education. When were stress then we won't pay attention in class and it will get worse everyday.

2-For our parents it will makes them work and having to worry if we got home or them having to pick us up from school. Parents that are doctors or parents that have to help people make it way worse maybe they get sick. It will make everything worse then it is for kids and parents having to make sure there's food on the table.So it makes everything worse for everyone.

3- Teachers have there own personal life some teachers have pets,family and kids.They have to handle kids everyday that talk rude and give attitude.Teachers have enough stuff to do when it comes to rude students it makes there day worse.There weekends get ruined from day to day being tired and students being extra.Teachers deserve to get a break so they could take a break and have fun with there family.

Those are my reasons why we DON'T need extra amount of time at school.

# data[].attributes.body
1.Teachers need time to relax and so do kids , if you add extra school days that could increase the pressure and stress on kids.

2. In California, where nearly a thousand schools switched calendars between 1998 and 2005, schools that switched to a year-round calendar did not see test scores rise, and schools that switched back to a traditional calendar did not see scores fall.

3. The change could significantly impact parents who have children in both BCSD and the Kern High School District, who would have to manage two different school schedules, Pesante said.

# data[].attributes.body
1. teachers would have to stay even longer because if school ends at 6:00 pm, teachers would have to stay till 6:30 pm- 7:00 pm.

2. students and teachers won't be able to spend as much time with their family and friends as much as they already do.

3. students will have to wake up earlier because I wake up at 6:00 am already but if the school day is longer it will start earlier then i will have to wake up at 5:00 and go home at 6:00 and that's bad because I like playing outside and spending time with family.

4. students already have a long day the school day is 7:45 AM - 3:00 pm that's 8 hours and 5 minutes.  imagine how long teachers stay and they will have to stay longer because the teachers already stay till 6:00 Am - 4:00 PM.

5. students already are so exhausted from school and then well be more exhausted school is so frusturating already imagine if we stayed longer.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  School should not be longer because it may or may not overwhelm children or may give them ingratiate.

2.  It could also make the students of that school district bored because they would be working for hours and hours, and they would also have to do their home work on top of that and that.
3. I also think that a longer school day can effect children's health because they may not have the attention span for that much of a day.

# data[].attributes.body
1. It would be expensive to make school longer.WE would need new journals a lot cause we take up to much space. That also means we need bigger books and more books cause we have more time to read in class.                                  2. it will take away from after activities such as sports and family time.                                                                                                                   3. Opponents to adding time to the school day argue that just adding more time is not enough to improve schools. Extra time does not necessarily translate into an extra hour of quality instruction, so schools should find ways to enrich education by rethinking the way the allotted time is used. They argue that instead of adding time, schools should add other learning experiences, such as internships or project-based learning. These types of experiences may increase student achievement without the financial cost of adding hours.

I think it would be better for young children to go to school longer to help be what they want to be when they grow up

some kids struggle more than others and it would be good for them to have more help plus some people need more money so working longer they will earn more money and I understand why a lot of people say no because it causes too much stress but that is why schools have counselors which they can visit and relive some of that stress.

# data[].attributes.body
1I know that school can be fun and boring. Some kids can get stressed out about school and sometimes I get stressed out too.
2. IF the school days are longer then moms and dads will have to, work longer and come home tired and get stressed out even more.

3. And the last reason is that your school day will affect your whole day ahead of you.

I think school is i bit of a waste and making it longer would be the worst.
I think we shod only go to school for K-5th then we can BUY A CAR!
And I think it's taking too much of our life away from US
p.s.also, I don't get snow days anymore ):>

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think the school year should be longer. The reason I don't think the school year should be longer is that the staff will work longer and harder, extra days do not help the student learn, and the school will have less money.
The first reason I don't the school year should be longer is because the staff will work harder and longer. At my school, the staff already work hard enough trying to keep the school clean, and teachers trying to plan your next lesson.
The second reason why the school year shouldn't be longer is that extra days don't help students. Some schools tried 5 extra hours but nothing really changed.
The last reason the school years should not be longer is that the longer everyone works the more pay will increase and if the school does not pay extra the school will lose lots of staff.     That's why the school year should not be longer.

1. Students already have most of the year in school and they deserve a break, and if they have a longer school year they will stress out.

2. Even if students had a longer school their test scores would not improve, so what's the point of having a longer school year?

3. If kids had a longer school year they would have less free time and less time to spend with their friends and family.

# data[].attributes.body
1.kids would have to wake up early and they might not be in a good mood.
2.kids might feel so bored from hours and we kids don't enjoy it much.
3.last reason is kids do not get caught up a lot and its feels like a disappointment to us kids.

# data[].attributes.body
1. because the school will be more stressing and there would be more work and some teachers might get sick and sometimes there wouldn't be a lot of teachers left. 2.when a teacher is out the students would have to go to another class or a teacher would take over.3. is that some days in the winter break would be stressful because christmas is in one the breaks that the kids would time with thier family but they will miss out because the extra day of school

# data[].attributes.body
my reason :

1. More days of school it going to be hard because parents have work so if we get out of school later our parent will not have time to pick us up from school .
their reason :

2. I think a lot of us see that a longer-year model is probably where we're going as a state ." noble said . " but we cannot exacerbate the teacher shortage by pushing people into doing things they don't want to do or pushing them too hard so that we end up having teachers throw up their hands and say , 'its' not worth it any more .

# data[].attributes.body
1. School should be extended because kids can't learn as well in a non-school environment and due to Covid kids have been stuck in their house.

2. Some parents work at home and sometimes not only because of Covid but now more parents are at home. Because of this kids stay home too and it is hard on the parents to just work and manage their classes as well, and if we extended the school year it will be harder on the parents.

3. School should not be extended because it can also be really hard on teachers, some teachers get pushed too hard to teach a lot of students which can result in some teachers quitting.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Because we whant no more school days

# data[].attributes.body
1.66 percent of district staff are unwilling to work an additional 20 days.
2. The pressure on the students will make their grades lower instead of going up.
3. In California, where nearly a thousand schools switched calendars between 1998 and 2005, schools that switched to a year-round calendar did not see test scores rise, and schools that switched back to a traditional calendar did not see scores fall. The USA's most populous state, where 1 in 5 schools used year-round calendars in the late 1990s, now uses a year-round calendar in only 1 out of 20.

# data[].attributes.body
My own reason:
1. I think the school year shouldn't be longer because if we have a longer school year kids won't be able to spend time with their family, friends, and pets. Kids need time to relax their brain. if they wanted a longer school year they can be home-schooled or they can practice till they can remember everything.

2. If their were longer school year older siblings won't be able to take care of their younger siblings when parents are gone. The kids will starve and will be bored without their family.

3. Teachers will be able to rest too. without having to make more work, without having to grade 20+ students assignments,
and not having to worry about waking up early.

1.it stresses kids out so much

2.schools are boring to kids altogether

3.and less summertime for kids bc
longer school days

# data[].attributes.body
because our brains need a break from all the information and school work. We need time to spend time with our family friends and animals.

# data[].attributes.body
no school should not be longer because you will no get to spend time with your family and if school is long you will have fewer summer days to play and spend to with family. The teacher would have to come up with lesson plan and that would be hard

# data[].attributes.body
because if the school year is longer the more kids won't do work and making it where grads would drop making it where parents the parents well get made 2. and the kids won't have lovely summer I think that we well only have 2 months of summer and kids won't get enough rest of a break from school3. the test scores haven't been rising and longer school years wouldn't help

# data[].attributes.body
The article says that people that are against longer time in school say that a longer school day is less time for family time and activities. I agree because we have stuff to do at home to not just be at school.

# data[].attributes.body
1. No because if we did do more school day we would be tirerd of school and will not get a break and would probibly overwellmed.

2.  we would allso have know reason to because we would just go to difforint schools and learn difforint stuff.

3. and allso because summer is suposed to bo ou break so we can go back to school fresh and clean and ready to learn more.

# data[].attributes.body
no becuase school is boring.

3 Reasons why we should Not have a longer school year;
(Sentences put in my own words)

1: "A shorter summer of the year-round doesn't help students learn, but many school leaders don't know that". And schools that switched back to a regular calendar did not see scores fall

2. 66% of Santa Fe refuses to work another 20 days, and the board President; Kate Nobble said the district can't afford 66% not teaching.

3. "In California, nearly a thousand schools switched calendars between 1998 and 2005. Schools that switched, did not see the test scores rise. And schools that switched back to a regular calendar did not see scores fall"

So this is why there should Not be a longer school year.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  66% of Santa Fe refuses to work an additional 20 days

2. Board president  Kate Nobble said the district can't afford 66% of teachers not teaching

3. since the 1990's many districts have tried year-around calendars to help kids and it has not helped

# data[].attributes.body
1. Even though it's a longer year the kids don't learn any much more than a shorter year.

2. Kids would not be happy but instead bored and formed depression because they would not have a lot of time with their friends.

3. Most schedules would change frequently and parents would start getting a headache and getting frustrated.

# data[].attributes.body
1. No because if we have a longer school year we will be stressed and when were stressed we don't enjoy stuff as much as we do and when we don't enjoy as much stuff as we do we don't have fun and we feel so tired.

2. No because when we have a longer school year we wont have enough time to relax because we have to relax to refresh our brain for next year so if we had to do more work then we wouldn't be able to relax.

3.No because when we have a longer school year we cannot enjoy our time with our family on break its like if our parents work and they had to work longer so we couldn't see them do you get my point now?

# data[].attributes.body
1.No because kids need a longer spring break and if they take away some of it, then kids get more stressed!

2. If we had shorter spring breaks we wouldn't learn as much as a regular spring break!

3. It has been proven that with longer school years, test scores still haven't risen. So it has been proved that longer school years don't really help that much!

# data[].attributes.body
1.No because people would be more stressed because they will be tired and more people will fall asleep when they work, people won't be going to work because they don't have a break in a very long time.

2.when the school schedule is longer more people won't work because its to much work , the more people that don't work the less teachers there are the less kids will learn.

# data[].attributes.body
If school was longer it would be hard because my mom has my baby brother to take care of and she has pick up me and my sister.

1. Studies show that if we had longer school schedule are test scores would not go up.

2. The longer school year would put pressure on students and teachers because there is so much work.

3. If we didn't have breaks like summer break we would be bored in school.

# data[].attributes.body
1.having school longer will cause the student to be tired when they get home and not do activity's that will make them be able to have fun with there family but study

2.if the school year was long what if students have animals in there home and a lot of sibling's that are very young the parents wont be able to feed or give attention with the animal

3.the students when they get home wont have a lot of time to help there siblings and animals

# data[].attributes.body
1.  having a longer school year will cause stress for students and they won't get to see their parents as much.

2. some staff will not come because they don't get a longer break.

3. having a longer school year still wont make their grades higher.

# data[].attributes.body
We should not have extra school days because it is already so long.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think we should have an extended school year because:

1: Summer break was made so that the students get a break to get ready for the next school year and have fun, but if around half of it is removed, it could cause a lot of stress.

2. Summer school was made for a reason: to help students who didn't pass, and if there are special teachers that work for summer school, and if they don't work, they don't get paid.

3. Many parents have jobs that go year-round, and in summer break, the kids can just stay home. But, if they were to go to school for longer, the parents would have to worry about picking up their kid, and waking up earlier than usual.

# data[].attributes.body
1: if we had a longer school year the students would probably not pay attention to the class and the teachers would be annoyed about it.
2: what if a parent had planned a trip on those extra days they would have to cancel it or the kid would not be at school.
3: what if the parents did not know that school was longer because their child did not tell them they would be gone for those exterdays of school.

# data[].attributes.body
People think we should have a longer school year because it would help students and teachers get extra time to teach the stuff they need to teach.
1. Because if we had longer school years students that would struggle in any subject like math or reading would get extra help in the subject they are failing.
2. Covid-19 has ruined how much time schools we get all last year and this has been mess we have to wear masked and last year we were on zoom for more than half of the year and we didn't really learn anything.
3.  Children and adults are always on a tablet or computer and then school comes in and makes more work online which means kids will get bad eyesight. Bad eyesight will affect a kid's learning and how they will see the world Parents do not like that their children are spending so much time on their Ipads and computers for school and texting.

# data[].attributes.body
Here are the many reasons why school should not be longer

1. teacher and students need breaks it would be very unhealthy for all of the people

2. it would not help any of the students who are in that school learn any better

# data[].attributes.body
1. that would just mean more work for the teacher and the student.
2. some teachers wouldn't be able to come to school on the edition days and about
50% of the staff members at school wouldn't be able to come to school so who would teach or make sure those students are doing their work.
3. the summertime is when kids can really relax and go outside to enjoy the summer weather, and unwind.

# data[].attributes.body
As much as kids need to learn they also need free time/ their own time for their mental health. Kids don't even get enough time of their own as it is, but to add even more school and less free time is very bad for a kid's mental stability.

Think of the transportation problems,
it would be very hard for parents to make time for work, dinner, cleaning, etc.
Parents work lots and some parents take night shifts so if our school day were longer our parents would have to pick their kids up at night.

Kids already get and give germs off every day but to be in school longer it would be easier to get covid.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Some teachers need more time to relax and with a longer school day they wouldn't have that chance.

2. All the students may have after school activities and that mean we would get there later and have to go to bed way later.

# data[].attributes.body
1. if students school schedule was longer we would start to get hungry we won't see their parents as much and kids would get miserable for being at school for too long

2. If people think that there should be longer school hours just don't think that much they are just saying that they want students to spend more time at school than at home with their parents have a normal schedule for home

3. It would be good for teachers because in year teachers get paid $51k in a year and if there were more school hours they would probably make $27.00 more dollars in there paycheck but it will help the teachers out on the other hand teachers will get annoyed because kids will start getting tired but my answer is still
no...

# data[].attributes.body
Some people think that the school year should be longer, And other people think the school should be longer. Because some people prefer to have more work.

A lot of the teachers and parents and students think it shouldn't have a longer school year because some students need a break.
some schools have a longer school year because covid19 so they have to be in school longer.

A lot of students and parents and staff members are not happy with the decision. because the staff members need day-offs too and need a break. and it is not fair to some parents because if the parents have a have the whole summer break their kids will still be in school instead of having fun.

That's why we shouldn't have a longer school year.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  Teachers will be unable to work on the additional days " 55 per cent of the staff would not be able to work on the additional 5 days."
2.  Some high school students watch over their little siblings while there. Parents are at work so if their parents are at work and also the students who will watch over the little siblings
3. With winter break some schools say that get too much time off and that they take time off of the school year others say that it is a good time to relax because final exams are coming up.
4. With COVID-19 students have lost a lot of time with education which is a problem for some parents even though some schools have tried their hardest with COVID-19 adding more school days is risking the spread of the virus which is why some teachers staff and students are not coming back

# data[].attributes.body
I don't think we should we longer school schedules.
Parent Problems
Year-round schedule schools would be a problem for the parents since they want to spend time with their children. Parents would have a terrible time if their child did have longer times of school and they could not spend their time with the parents more.
Children struggling with Year-Round school
Usually, children struggle with a problem and all. But they have to go to the Year-Round schools if they are struggling a lot. It is very scary to be in there because there is no free time, there is probably no recess, no freedom. It is basically an alternative school.
Summer skipping
Holidays are very special because you have no school on those days. Year-Round schools get rid of that fun because you have an extra week from that holiday. Parents do not like that stuff because again, they want to spend time with their children. The Year-Round schools basically are like alternative school and summer school, but it's way worse. So that is my 3 reasons why we shouldn't have the Year-Round schools.

# data[].attributes.body
1 All schools should not extend the school year cause if they do teachers would start quitting being a teacher and doing something else.
2 Maybe what could do is instead of making
they could make days longer then we can make up all the time lost we can our summertime chill-out from all stress from all the work we have to do.
3 plus all the homework we would have to do if we don't finish the work in  school then we cant spend time with family we will be stuck doing work
4 That overdue then it's going to take them a long time to catch up on the work they missed and then teachers mad that everyone missing work

# data[].attributes.body
This is why there should not be longer School time.

1. According to this summary it says That in one of the schools 55% Of staff did not come to the School board is because of COVID-19 or something else. This is because we already start with 5 days a week they would have added another day so this causes one day which is Sunday left of the week to focus on family and not school.

2. There are 12 Months of the year 11 of them are for school and some days from June and august have a few days after and before so that causes 1 month. That means that July is a whole month by itself and that creates two months for summer and we will need longer months for summer.

3. Lastly Most schools have Summer schools so I really don't think they should extend school weeks. I believe they should keep it the same. The school hours are 7-13 Hours of a school day and then when you go home you have about 3-5 hours to spend time with family.

These are my reasons why school should not be any longer.

# data[].attributes.body
1.if we had school longer we would not have fun at home

# data[].attributes.body
1. COVID-19 - and the death toll - climb. Each day brings more bad news and more restrictions on "normal" activities.

2. There's been some talk of expanded summer-school offerings, but who knows how soon schools will reopen.

3. Developing more year-round programs for the new academic year might help students make up for what they've missed.

# data[].attributes.body
1. Parents that don't pack up lunches will spend more money on lunches at school and will start to pack up lunches will give parents a headache on packing up lunches every day and the school would stop getting money off of lunches.
2. A longer schedule doesn't help their scores, instead, it would give the students stress because they would have more work over their heads, and most important... it would be summer school but it doesn't help students. And parents would get a headache because they would be helping their kids and stressed about the schedule.
3. Summer Skipping
This will be a problem for younger kids who go to summer early. Younger kids will have a much shorter summer break and will be more school. Younger kids will start to beg for more of a break and they would not have enough fun family time for those who plan for visits to their older ones. And Summer Break is like a break from stress and work for working hard, not a shorter week just to start school early again and do it almost all year long.

# data[].attributes.body
1.  School should be extended because we as a nation need to get more education because some people don't do all of the work they are supposed to do.

2. There have been more deaths since covid has been around so we should be careful.

3. If we didn't have longer school, kids might have less knowledge and choose to have fun instead of work.

# data[].attributes.body
1 No because teachers have been getting sick with no substitute so if we extend the school year with this pandemic we might have to shut down the entire school. Following that, we could have a lot more cases than ever with an extended school year. Finally, if we have to go virtual, no one gets anything done.

# data[].attributes.body
Reason 1. If school is extended the teachers and staff will have to do extra work and they say that they don't want to work longer the teachers and staff would get more stress and it would be way harder for them and they already have to teach online and offline.

Reason 2. They shouldn't extend the school year because what if teachers and staff have a special day with their families and if school was extended they would have to cancel their family trip and that would be really sad.

Reason 2. They shouldn't extend the school year because they show no proof that it actually increases grades and also if it doesn't then all that time would be wasted they could have hade fun with their family but school was extended so they couldn't and then people would get mad and sue the school.
