my kids think a 4 day week would be great even though the day is longer - jon - sounds like you could have used more schooling

Our schools are lax enough as it is. Going to just 4 days a week would be an awful choice.

If the remaining 4 days are supposed to be longer, I think I'd rather stick to the usual 5...

Brilliant idea. Give the kids more time to cultivate their interests and personalities. School is way too repressive.

I think my teen would perform much better on a 4 day a week school. I feel the extra day would refresh her brain more.

Yes, I say that four days of school is better and the money that could be save is a lot, then this money could be use for something else.

i would like to know the specifics of how it would change the schedule, and about how much these schools are saving
but other than that this informations is very reasonable

im a student who has to go to school 5 days a week. On weeks were we have a late start, early release, or no school day i have proven to do better academically then when we have 5 straight days of school. The 5 day's of school make it seem longer and after about thursday i just get so tired of school i need a brake and just mess around in my classes or don't try and i have studied stundents also and it seems they tend to mess around on thursdays and friday because they are sick of school. So i think a 4 day school week would be good for students rather than a 5 day school week.

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Scorpio

Something that you've always taken for granted or believed implicitly could have a big question mark hanging over it during the next few weeks. The more entrenched your views are about this, the more difficult it will be to accept that perhaps it's time for a change of opinion or, at the very least, a revaluation of what you think. Mercury turns retro in your house of communications, so do your best to be open-minded now.
