Answer 1

Students lose some of their learning when they have a long summer break. — Relevant (supports year-round school to reduce summer learning loss)

Many students prefer to learn by doing projects instead of by reading books. — Not relevant (about learning style, not school calendar)

Many schools offer programming before and after school to supplement learning. — Not relevant (about supplemental programs, not whether schools should stay open year-round)
