Read the rough draft of a student’s conclusion to an argumentative editorial. (1) Year-round schooling would help student achiev
ement. (2) Not so much information would have to be crammed into nine months. (3) Furthermore, the elimination of long breaks, particularly summer break, would significantly reduce "learning loss” and the additional time wasted at the beginning of each academic year to reteach previously learned material. (4) It is clear that year-round schooling helps students learn and retain more. (5) The United States is not the only country to experiment with a year-round school schedule. (6) Although many still claim that evidence about year-round school and its link to higher achievement is inconclusive, these people need to open their eyes and see that students in these schools consistently score higher on certain assessments than students who attend schools with traditional nine-month calendars. (7) It is about time that we replaced our outdated and inefficient school calendars. Which revision would most improve sentence 7?

The passage tells schooling throughout the year will help students meet their goals. There should not be so much details in nine months. In addition, the elimination of long breaks, especially summer breaks, will reduce "learning losses" dramatically, and the additional time spent at the beginning of each academic year for the re-learning of previously learned content.
While many still argue that there is no proof of school year round and its association with higher education, these people must open their eyes to see that the performance of the students in these schools is consistently higher than that of the students who attend schools with conventional 9 months calendars. It is time we replace our obsolete and unreliable school calendars for some time now.
