Read this prompt. Create a presentation to convince school board members that district 16 should add a week-long October break t
o next year’s school calendar, like other districts in the state. Which reason best supports the claim in this prompt? Schoolchildren need time in the fall to prepare for upcoming holidays. The number of school days required by the board is too many for students. Students need a break to study for their rigorous midterm exams. There are too many fast-approaching events on the school calendar.
Answer: Students need a break to study for their rigorous midterm exams.
Explanation:
With the school term begining in the end of August and going on till the midterms save for a few holidays here and there, students do not really have time to rest and reflect.
Adding a weeklong break in October can therefore give students the time to rest and prepare for their very rigorous midterm exams which will theoretically lead to higher pass rates.
