Longer School Year!?

I agree with only one reason why to make school years longer because it happens to me. During summer vacation I forget a lot of what I learned the past year because I am not using what I learned as much during the summer. But on the downside kids are really busy with sports and other things outside of school and making school days longer will add a lot of stress. Also having longer school days or a longer school year will increase the amount of dropouts. We should be doing better academically than Japan, South Korea, and Germany but I don’t think making the school days or the school year longer will help. If I had to choose though, I would rather have longer school years because I think longer school days would be WAY too much in a day. Plus students wouldn’t get as much sleep, which would start affecting their work.
