Editorial Reviews:

Administrators, faculty, and parents have been weighing the pros and cons of year-round schooling for a long time. They cite a variety of reasons for this scheduling change: growing school enrollments, working parents, and shrinking budgets. Hundreds of school districts in the USA and Canada have adopted year-round school schedules and many more are considering the option. This volume provides a comprehensive, research-based explanation of the concept and practice of year-round school scheduling. It reviews a variety of alternative school schedules and contrasts them with the traditional schedules by showing the effects of year-round schooling on the students, staff, and facilities.


Customer Reviews:

4 out of 5 stars critical college student

This is the only book that is effective in persuasion on the issue of year-round schooling. The reason for this is because it is not argumentative in any manner and it is passive in its method of persuasion. Gives the reader all of the information necessary to make an informed decision on there opinions, which works in their favor. Another successful method used by this book is that the authors give positive and negative perspectives from teachers, students, and parent who have experienced this method of school scheduling. Also, given the credibility and experience of the authors, the language isn't over powering because they recognize their readers. If a person is looking for a nonbiased account on year-round schooling that is research, not opinion, based then this is the book to read.
