Yes, because by keeping schools up for longer periods of time, students are more likely to learn more subjects and topics due to the extra time for classes. You can possibly even have more students skip a grade because they are learning so much in this period of time. This also keeps up test scores for the U.S. if we decide to go through with this because students are spending more time studying.
No, because students will have 1 month of summer vacation. After a long school year, students need time to relax and recharge their batteries and regain their happy personalities. I personally enjoy using some of my summer time by meditating in my room or outside. I do this during the first week of summer vacation as it helps me calm myself down internally and find peace. Lots of students need our 3 month summer vacation to relax and spend time with family.
I think that we should not have school for 11 months because it takes away valuable family time and time spent with friends and recovering from school. We need this time to help regain our energy. This is vital because a single month off school is like having another winter break. It's not long enough for students to de stress and relax without having to worry about tests every five minutes.
You present your evidence in a very organized structure.
