SUMMER IS DEFINITLY GOIN ON MY WISH LIST

Someone once said that time is a precious thing and that it is not to be wasted. The Edison school board  has decided to shorten the days of summer. This will affect the students from k-12. Summer is something that is on every kids wish list. If the school board shorten the days of summer break, then that means more complaints from the parents, the less of a nice break students have from school and the less of pressure.

Summer is a must have thing. It gives a nice break for students who have lots of homework and school work. When there is alot of homework, that means the less of free time. Since the edison school board already gives 183 days of school each year, and on those days you get either an essay to do, or a test, or even maybe just regular homework, that takes the time out of your regular day. Everyones day is the same, you wake up, go to school, do school work, homework, take a shower, and eat dinner. And in between all that theres sports, breakfast, lunch, and even maybe a little t.v. Summer makes everyday different. There is nice weather on most days, so either if you go outside, or go swimming in a pool, each day will be exciting and new.

Summer also gives students less of the jumbo sized pressure. No teacher wants their students to fail, of not do their homework. But teachers dont understand that your day cant juist be all about school work. You want everyday to be different, exciting, and you want to explore new things. With so much school work amd pressure, those things arent going to happen. The pressure that is on a little girls shoulder to do the school work is too much. You dont want to fail, and you dont want your teacher to get mad at you. on top of that, you dont want to go to sleep late because you are so tired, and you dont want to miss your free time. Bill Cosby once said that I dont know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody. It may seem like students want to please their teachers all the time, but thats becuase some students actually do that. Summer takes you away from all that. Its a time where a kid can just be a kid.

Students will definitly complain that there is less of summer break, and with  that, theres a price.( i had to put this in.... if you get it.... KARMA!!~!!)  Kids will complain to their parents if they have to to get what they want. then, here comes the phone calls. Parents will say that their child is always complaunung about school and jow summer break is their only break. Studies show that more then 60% of kids dont get enough excerisice. Excersicing could be as fun as playing tag with friends, of riding a bycicle. When its a school night, you have so much homework that you can hardly even go out side ans enjoy the weather. But when its summer, kids can go outside everyday. Its actually been said that more than 50% of kids get more excersice on summer break when there away from school, then when there actually in school. With the less of summer, the more the complaints.

With the less summer, the more the complaints, the nore the pressure,and the less of a nice break. Summer is the everyday kids favorite seasin beacuase they're actaully away from school. Its a time when you could have fun and enjoy your self. When kids feel like they havent been more free. With the less of summer break, the more students you will upset

  1. Great Job Elena! I liked this post and if I were the person reading this, I would surely agree and follow your opinion of not making summer vacation less and making school extended. I also liked the quote you put in your persuasive essay. You can improve slightly on adding more details into your sentences. Overall, you did an awesome persuasive essay

  3. Nice blog post, Elena! I like how you used statistics for reasons summer break should not be shortened. One way it could be better is if you fixed the punctuation mistakes. Overall, Great job!
