45、ns all through the year. Another difference is the track. Instead of single-track schooling that involves an entire school using the same schedule and getting the same vacations off, multiple-track year-round schooling has groups of students attending school at different times with different vacatio
46、ns. 37 The major advantage of year-round schooling is that it provides the continuous learning that can be lost over a long vacation as the students are not ever out of school for a long period of time. 38 39 For example，with one group of students always on vacation, a school that was built for 750
47、students can serve as many as 1,000.
