Question

Although the pay might be better, year-round school would negatively affect the lives of teachers everywhere. Teachers make school possible in the first place, and they need time off in the summer to plan for the school year and to relax. We can’t be good teachers if we’re exhausted! It’s a well-known fact that without significant time away from school, teachers—and students, as well—are going to experience burnout.

What bias does this source show?

The author thinks year-round school is better for teachers because they need the income.
The author thinks year-round school is better for students because they don’t need a vacation.
The author thinks that the teachers’ experience is the most important.
The author thinks that teachers need to consider the perspective of students.

Answer 1

The author thinks that the teachers’ experience is the most important.

Explanation: the passage focuses on how year-round school would harm teachers, arguing they need summer time off to plan and rest and avoid burnout, so it privileges teachers’ needs.
