Most students are against coming to school in the summer.
We have never had year-round school before, so it will not work.

Option 3: "More frequent breaks are beneficial for students and teachers alike."
Why: it supports year‑round schooling, is positive and evidence‑testable (learning retention, reduced burnout, scheduling benefits), and is framed as a general benefit you can defend with research.
To be even more precise and stronger as an argumentative claim, state the calendar and the measurable outcomes. Example revision:
"Implementing a nationwide year‑round calendar with shorter, more frequent breaks (e.g., a 45/15 schedule) will reduce summer learning loss and lower teacher burnout, improving student achievement and retention."
Why the others fail, briefly:
- Option 1 argues against the idea and is anecdotal.
- Option 2 is a faulty generalization and defeatist.
- Option 4 is purely opinion and offers no evidence.
