Schools should not go to a year-round calender because kids will not be able to go to summer camps. There will not be as many camps because it will be harder to fit camps into 3 weeks. Also, college students who usually help run the camps will not be able to with year-round school.
This proliferation of summer camps has created an equivalent demand for counselors to staff them, which means a variety of interesting summer jobs for high school and university students(mel.org)
I would not like it because I would not be able to just enjoy the summer camps that I usually go to. Week-long specialty camps--covering everything from music to science to horseback riding to archaeology to sports--have made summer a time for opportunities unavailable during the school year. (mel.org) Overall, year-round school will not be a good idea because students will lose the education that they usually get from summer camps.

I do agree with you, but I don't think you used enough evidence.
