Do you think we should do this?!?

I have a research essay (persuasive) that is asking whether or not we should extend school years or not. The deal is that other countries are getting higher test scores than us on things like the SAT and this could possible be due to the fact that most international schools are completely year-round. As a student, I personally, think that this would be a good change. But other factors you must consider in your opinion is that many international schools are not free to everyone, like ours are...well, free in a sense, I suppose. But I digress, please, I would really appreciate your opinion and I will include it in my paper. Please tell me whether you would like your user name included or not. The only person who will be looking at my paper is my teacher, so, don't worry about that! Thank you very much!
