Read the excerpt.
People who think clearly would never vote against
year-round school. The only people arguing against it
selfishly want to take long summer vacations. Year-
round school will instead address the very serious
problem of students falling behind in school during the
summer. Teachers will waste less time re-teaching what
students learned the year before. Shorter but more
frequent breaks will give students the time off they
need and teachers time to plan. There are really no
downsides.
