Question

People who think clearly would never vote against year-round school. The only people arguing against it selfishly want to take long summer vacations. Year-round school will instead address the very serious problem of students falling behind in school during the summer. Teachers will waste less time re-teaching what students learned the year before. Shorter but more frequent breaks will give students the time off they need and teachers time to plan. There are really no downsides.

Answer 1

The author’s viewpoint is that year-round school is clearly the best choice / the author is in favor of year‑round school.

One example of slanted word choice is calling opponents “selfish” (saying they “selfishly want to take long summer vacations”).

One possible omission is any acknowledgment of drawbacks or opposing evidence (e.g., impacts on family schedules and childcare, summer jobs/camps, costs, or research that questions the academic benefits).

Therefore, this passage is biased / one‑sided (a persuasive opinion piece).
